Remember Jesus Christ, (A)risen from the dead, the (B)offspring of David, (C)as preached in my gospel, (D)for which I am suffering, (E)bound with chains as a criminal. But (F)the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore (G)I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain (H)the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with (I)eternal glory. 11 The saying is (J)trustworthy, for:

(K)If we have died with him, we will also (L)live with him;
12 (M)if we endure, we will also reign with him;
(N)if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 (O)if we are faithless, (P)he remains faithful—

for (Q)he cannot deny himself.

Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead and descended from David. This is my good news. This is the reason I’m suffering to the point that I’m in prison like a common criminal. But God’s word cannot be imprisoned. 10 This is why I endure everything for the sake of those who are chosen by God so that they too may experience salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This saying is reliable:

“If we have died together, we will also live together.
12         If we endure, we will also rule together.
        If we deny him, he will also deny us.
13 If we are disloyal, he stays faithful”
    because he can’t be anything else than what he is.
