2 Timothy 1:1-5
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 to Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
2 Timothy 1:15

of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.

2 Timothy 2:14-15
14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
15 of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
