2 Timothy 2:8-13
Christian Standard Bible
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead(A) and descended from David, according to my gospel, 9 for which I suffer to the point of being bound like a criminal. But the word of God is not bound. 10 This is why I endure(B) all things for the elect:(C) so that they also may obtain salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.(D) 11 This saying is trustworthy:(E)
For if we died with him,(F)
we will also live with him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign(G) with him;
if we deny him, he will also deny us;
13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful,
for he cannot deny himself.
2 Timothy 2:8-13
International Standard Version
8 Meditate on[a] Jesus, the Messiah,[b] who was raised from the dead and is a descendant of David. This is the gospel I tell others.[c] 9 Because of it I am experiencing trouble, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. However, God’s word is not chained. 10 For that reason, I endure everything for the sake of those who have been chosen so that they, too, may receive the salvation that is in the Messiah[d] Jesus, along with eternal glory. 11 This saying is trustworthy:[e]
In dying with the Messiah,[f]
true life we gain.[g]
12 Enduring, we with him will reign.
Who him denies,
he will disclaim.
13 Our faith may fail,
his never wanes—
That’s who he is,
he cannot change![h]
