Concerning him, the apostle wrote: “May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often brought me refreshment, and he did not become ashamed of my chains. On the contrary, when he happened to be in Rome, he diligently looked for me and found me. ”
Apostel kirjutas tema kohta: ” Issand osutagu halastust Onesiforose perele, sest tema on mind sagedasti kosutanud ega ole mitte häbenenud mu ahelaid, vaid kui ta saabus Rooma, otsis ta mind suure hoolega ning leidis mind ”.
