They have been a wonderful encouragement to me, as they have been to you. You must show your appreciation to all who serve so well.

As he left, however, he said,“ I will come back later, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

Yes, my brother, please do me this favor for the Lord’s sake. Give me this encouragement in Christ.

Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people.

We have been greatly encouraged by this. In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was about the way all of you welcomed him and set his mind at ease.

May the Lord show special kindness to Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and encouraged me. He was never ashamed of me because I was in chains.

When the time came, we set sail for Italy. Paul and several other prisoners were placed in the custody of a Roman officer named Julius, a captain of the Imperial Regiment.

But they hit a shoal and ran the ship aground too soon. The bow of the ship stuck fast, while the stern was repeatedly smashed by the force of the waves and began to break apart.The soldiers wanted to kill the prisoners to make sure they didn’t swim ashore and escape.But the commanding officer wanted to spare Paul, so he didn’t let them carry out their plan. Then he ordered all who could swim to jump overboard first and make for land.

And I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News.For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ.And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear.

But I will come— and soon— if the Lord lets me, and then I’ll find out whether these arrogant people just give pretentious speeches or whether they really have God’s power.

What you ought to say is,“ If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.”

The brothers and sisters in Rome had heard we were coming, and they came to meet us at the Forum on the Appian Way. Others joined us at The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and thanked God.When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to have his own private lodging, though he was guarded by a soldier.

But now Timothy has just returned, bringing us good news about your faith and love. He reports that you always remember our visit with joy and that you want to see us as much as we want to see you.So we have been greatly encouraged in the midst of our troubles and suffering, dear brothers and sisters, because you have remained strong in your faith.It gives us new life to know that you are standing firm in the Lord.How we thank God for you! Because of you we have great joy as we enter God’s presence.Night and day we pray earnestly for you, asking God to let us see you again to fill the gaps in your faith.

One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord.When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.I want you to know, dear brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to visit you, but I was prevented until now. I want to work among you and see spiritual fruit, just as I have seen among other Gentiles.

For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him,boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him.

Trustworthy messengers refresh like snow in summer. They revive the spirit of their employer.

But now I have finished my work in these regions, and after all these long years of waiting, I am eager to visit you.I am planning to go to Spain, and when I do, I will stop off in Rome. And after I have enjoyed your fellowship for a little while, you can provide for my journey.
