‏ 2 Timothy 1:16

 Grant mercy ( δωιη ελεος ). The phrase nowhere else in the N.T. Second aorist active optative of  διδωμ, the usual form being  δοιη. This is the usual construction in a wish about the future.

 Unto the house of Onesiphorus ( τω Ονησιφορου οικω ). The same phrase in 4:19. Apparently Onesiphorus is now dead as is implied by the wish in 1:18.

 For he oft refreshed me ( οτ πολλακις με ανεψυξεν ). First aorist active indicative of  αναψυχω, old verb, to cool again, in LXX and Koine often, here only in N.T., but  αναψυξις in Ac 3:20. In the first imprisonment or the second. If he lost his life for coming to see Paul, it was probably recently during this imprisonment.

 Was not ashamed of my chain ( αλυσιν μου ουκ επαισχυνθη ). Passive deponent again (first aorist indicative) with accusative as in 1:8. For  αλυσιν (chain) see Eph 6:20. Note absence of augment in  επαισχυνθη.
