They were to be honest and full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. Paul spoke of those who ministered or served him: The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain: But when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
Ganito ang sabi ni Pablo sa mga naglingkod sa kanya: Pagkalooban nawa ng Panginoon ng habag ang sangbahayan ni Onesiforo: sapagkat madalas niya akong pinaginhawa, at hindi ikinahiya ang aking tanikala; Kundi, nang siya’y nasa Roma, ay hinanap niya ako nang buong sikap, at ako’y nasumpungan niya.
