2 Timothy 1:18

‘And in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, you know very well.

And Onesiphorus’ visits also brought back to mind the good days in Ephesus, and how Onesiphorus had been so hospitable and welcoming then, and had done all that he could to meet Paul’s needs. ‘You remember,’ he says to Timothy, ‘what a good friend he was then.’ His visits now had done Paul more good than anyone can know, and it comes out in his words here.
