They renewed my spirit, and yours also. People like them are worthy of honor.

As he left, he made them a promise.“ If God wants me to,” he said,“ I will come back.” Then he sailed from Ephesus.

My brother, we both belong to the Lord. So I wish I could receive some benefit from you. Renew my heart. We know that Christ is the one who really renews it.

Your love has given me great joy. It has encouraged me. My brother, you have renewed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

All this encourages us. We were also very glad to see how happy Titus was. You have all renewed his spirit.

May the Lord show mercy to all who live in the house of Onesiphorus. He often encouraged me. He was not ashamed that I was being held by chains.

It was decided that we would sail for Italy. Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a Roman commander named Julius. He belonged to the Imperial Guard.

But the ship hit a sandbar. So the front of it got stuck and wouldn’t move. The back of the ship was broken to pieces by the pounding of the waves.The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners. They wanted to keep them from swimming away and escaping.But the commander wanted to save Paul’s life. So he kept the soldiers from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and swim to land.

Brothers and sisters, here is what I want you to know. What has happened to me has actually helped to spread the good news.One thing has become clear. I am being held by chains because I am a witness for Christ. All the palace guards and everyone else know it.And because I am a prisoner, most of the believers have become bolder in the Lord. They now dare even more to preach the good news without fear.

But I will come very soon, if that’s what the Lord wants. Then I will find out how those proud people are talking. I will also find out what power they have.

Instead, you should say,“ If it pleases the Lord, we will live and do this or that.”

The believers there had heard we were coming. They traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw these people, he thanked God for them and was encouraged by them.When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself. But a soldier guarded him.

But Timothy has come to us from you just now. He has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have happy memories of us. He has also said that you desire to see us, just as we desire to see you.Brothers and sisters, in all our trouble and suffering your faith encouraged us.Now we really live, because you are standing firm in the Lord.How can we thank God enough for you? We thank God because of all the joy we have in his presence. We have this joy because of you.Night and day we pray very hard that we will see you again. We want to give you what is missing in your faith.

in my prayers. I pray that now at last it may be God’s plan to open the way for me to visit you.I long to see you. I want to make you strong by giving you a gift from the Holy Spirit.I want us to encourage one another in the faith we share.Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that I planned many times to visit you. But until now I have been kept from coming. My work has produced results among the other Gentiles. In the same way, I want to see results among you.

For two whole years Paul stayed there in a house he rented. He welcomed all who came to see him.He preached boldly about God’s kingdom. He taught people about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one could keep him from teaching and preaching about these things.

A messenger trusted by the one who sends him is like a drink cooled by snow at harvest time. He renews the spirit of his master.

Now there is no more place for me to work in those areas. For many years I have wanted to visit you.So I plan to see you when I go to Spain. I hope to visit you while I am passing through. And I hope you will help me on my journey there. But first I want to enjoy being with you for a while.
