Remember Jesus Christ, (A)risen from the dead, the (B)offspring of David, (C)as preached in my gospel, (D)for which I am suffering, (E)bound with chains as a criminal. But (F)the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore (G)I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain (H)the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with (I)eternal glory. 11 The saying is (J)trustworthy, for:

(K)If we have died with him, we will also (L)live with him;
12 (M)if we endure, we will also reign with him;
(N)if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 (O)if we are faithless, (P)he remains faithful—

for (Q)he cannot deny himself.

A Worker Approved by God

14 Remind them of these things, and (R)charge them before God[a] (S)not to quarrel about words, (T)which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,[b] a worker (U)who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
