2 Timothy 1:8-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸Do not be ashamed, then, of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel, in the power of God,^(A) ⁹who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace, and this grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,^[a]^(B) ¹⁰but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ,^[b] who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.^(C) ¹¹For this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher,^[c]^(D) ¹²and for this reason I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day the deposit I have entrusted to him.^[d]^(E)

New American Standard Bible

⁸Therefore ^(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, ⁹who ^(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, ¹⁰but 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. ¹²For 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.
