11. For which I was appointed a karoz (herald), a maggid (darshan, preacher), a Shliach and a rabbi (teacher).

13. Follow the pattern of sound orthodox Jewish devarim which you heard from me, in emunah and ahavah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.

15. Of this you have da'as: all the ones in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes, turned away from me.
16. May Hashem grant rachamim to the bais of Onesiphorus, because often he refreshed me and he was not ashamed of my sharsherot.
17. For, when he was in Rome, he sought me with zerizut and found me.
18. May Adoneinu grant to him to find rachamim from Hashem in HaYom HaHu. [1:12]. Also, while in Ephesus in how many ways he did avodas hakodesh you know very well.
