2 Timothy 2:8-13

New American Standard Bible

⁸Remember Jesus Christ, ^(A)risen from the dead, ^(B)descendant of David, ^(C)according to my gospel, ⁹^[a]for which I ^(D)suffer hardship even to ^(E)imprisonment as a ^(F)criminal; but ^(G)the word of God ^(H)is not imprisoned. ¹⁰For this reason ^(I)I endure all things for ^(J)the sake of ^[b]those who are chosen, ^(K)so that they also may obtain the ^(L)salvation which is in ^(M)Christ Jesus and with it ^(N)eternal glory. ¹¹^(O)The statement is trustworthy:

For ^(P)if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
¹²If we endure, ^(Q)we will also reign with Him;
If we ^[c]^(R)deny Him, He will also deny us;
¹³If we are faithless, ^(S)He remains faithful, for ^(T)He cannot deny Himself.

2 Timothy 2:8-13

International Standard Version

⁸Meditate on^[a] Jesus, the Messiah,^[b] who was raised from the dead and is a descendant of David. This is the gospel I tell others.^[c] ⁹Because of it I am experiencing trouble, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. However, God’s word is not chained. ¹⁰For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive the salvation that is in the Messiah^[d] Jesus, along with eternal glory. ¹¹This saying is trustworthy:^[e]

In dying with the Messiah,^[f]
    true life we gain.^[g]
¹²Enduring, we with him will reign.
    Who him denies,
        he will disclaim.
¹³Our faith may fail,
    his never wanes—
That’s who he is,
    he cannot change!^[h]
