2 Timothy 1:8-12
New American Standard Bible
8 Therefore (A)do not be ashamed of the (B)testimony of our Lord or of me (C)His prisoner, but join with me in (D)suffering for the (E)gospel according to the power of God, 9 who (F)saved us and (G)called us with a holy (H)calling, (I)not according to our works, but according to His own (J)purpose and grace, which was granted to us in (K)Christ Jesus from (L)all eternity, 10 but has (M)now been revealed by the (N)appearing of our Savior (O)Christ Jesus, who (P)abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 (Q)for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; but (R)I am not ashamed, for I know (S)whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to (T)protect what I have entrusted to Him [a]until (U)that day.

2 Timothy 1:8-12
International Standard Version
8 Therefore, 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.
9 He 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]
10 Now, 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.
11 For the sake of this gospel[e] I was appointed to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the gentiles.[f] 12 That 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]
