2 Timothy 1:8-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, in the power of God,(A) 9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace, and this grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,[a](B) 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ,[b] who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.(C) 11 For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher,[c](D) 12 and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.[d](E) 13 Hold to the standard of sound teaching that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.(F) 14 Guard the good deposit entrusted to you, with the help of the Holy Spirit living in us.
