11. I was chosen to tell that Good News and to be an apostle and a teacher.
12. I am suffering now because I tell the Good News, but I am not ashamed, because I know Jesus, the One in whom I have believed. And I am sure he is able to protect what he has trusted me with until that day.
13. Follow the pattern of true teachings that you heard from me in faith and love, which are in Christ Jesus.
14. Protect the truth that you were given; protect it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
15. You know that everyone in Asia has left me, even Phygelus and Hermogenes.
