2 Timothy 2:8-13

English Standard Version

⁸Remember Jesus Christ, ^(A)risen from the dead, the ^(B)offspring of David, ^(C)as preached in my gospel, ⁹^(D)for which I am suffering, ^(E)bound with chains as a criminal. But ^(F)the word of God is not bound! ¹⁰Therefore ^(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. ¹¹The 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.

2 Timothy 2:8-13

International Standard Version

⁸Meditate 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] ⁹Because of it I am experiencing trouble, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. However, God’s word is not chained. ¹⁰For 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. ¹¹This saying is trustworthy:^[e]

In dying with the Messiah,^[f]
    true life we gain.^[g]
¹²Enduring, we with him will reign.
    Who him denies,
        he will disclaim.
¹³Our faith may fail,
    his never wanes—
That’s who he is,
    he cannot change!^[h]
