2 Timothy 2:8-13

The Voice

Paul has mentored no one more privately and successfully than Timothy. Now he charges Timothy to pass the faith along to the next generation. Training leaders is priority one.

⁸Remember Jesus the Anointed, raised from the dead, descended from David’s royal line. This is the crux of my good news! ⁹This is why I suffer and why I am bound and chained like a lawbreaker. But God’s word is not in chains! ¹⁰That’s why I endure everything for the sake of God’s chosen: so that they might experience salvation with lasting, eternal glory through Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King. ¹¹Here’s a statement you can trust:

If we died with Him,
    we will live with Him.
¹²If we remain with Him,
    we will reign alongside Him.
If we deny Him,
    we will be denied by Him.
¹³If we are unfaithful,
    He remains faithful,
For He is not able to deny Himself.
