2 Timothy 1:8-12

International Standard Version

⁸Therefore, never be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me, his prisoner. Instead, by God’s power, join me in suffering for the sake of the gospel.

⁹He saved us
    and called us with a holy calling,
not according to our own accomplishments,
    but according to his own purpose and the grace
that was given to us in the Messiah^[a] Jesus
    before time began.^[b]
¹⁰Now, however, that grace^[c] has been revealed
    through the coming of our Savior the Messiah^[d] Jesus,
who has destroyed death
    and through the gospel has brought life
        and release from death into full view.

¹¹For the sake of this gospel^[e] I was appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.^[f] ¹²That is why I suffer as I do. However, I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I’m convinced that he is able to protect what he has entrusted to me^[g] until the day that he comes.^[h]
