2 Timothy 1:18

16 May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.

17 Indeed, when he arrived in Rome, he searched diligently until he found me.

May the Lord grant Onesiphorus His mercy on that day. You know very well how much he ministered to me in Ephesus.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
