“I am not ashamed; for I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until that

Context is that these chapters are the final words Jesus gives to His disciples before He is arrested. He knows what He will be facing and is trying to instruct and encourage His disciples.
