2 Timothy 1:8-12
English Standard Version
8 Therefore (A)do not be ashamed of (B)the testimony about our Lord, nor of (C)me his prisoner, but (D)share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, 9 (E)who saved us and (F)called us to[a] a holy calling, (G)not because of our works but because of (H)his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus (I)before the ages began,[b] 10 and which now has (J)been manifested through (K)the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, (L)who abolished death and (M)brought life and (N)immortality to light through the gospel, 11 (O)for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, 12 (P)which is why I suffer as I do. But (Q)I am not ashamed, for (R)I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until (S)that day (T)what has been entrusted to me.[c]

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)
