2 Timothy 1:8-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Not Ashamed of the Gospel
8 So don’t be ashamed(A) of the testimony about our Lord,(B) or of me His prisoner.(C) Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power(D) of God.
9 He has saved us and called us
with a holy calling,(E)
not according to our works,(F)
but according to His own purpose(G) and grace,
which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before time began.
10 This has now been made evident
through the appearing(H) of our Savior Christ Jesus,
who has abolished death(I)
and has brought life(J) and immortality to light
through the gospel.
11 For this gospel I was appointed(K) a herald, apostle, and teacher,[a] 12 and that is why I suffer(L) these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know the One I have believed in and am persuaded that He is able to guard what has been entrusted to me[b](M) until that day.(N)

Lexham English Bible
Exhortation to Share Paul’s Suffering
8 Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor me his prisoner, but suffer along with me for the gospel, according to the power of God, 9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace that was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began[a], 10 but has now been disclosed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ,[b] who has abolished death and brought to light life and immortality through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a proclaimer and an apostle and a teacher, 12 for which reason also I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know in whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted until that day.

2 Timothy 1:8-12
New International Version
8 So do not be ashamed(A) of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner.(B) Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel,(C) by the power of God. 9 He has saved(D) us and called(E) us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done(F) but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed(G) through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus,(H) who has destroyed death(I) and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 And of this gospel(J) I was appointed(K) a herald and an apostle and a teacher.(L) 12 That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame,(M) because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard(N) what I have entrusted to him until that day.(O)
