2 Timothy 2:8-13
English Standard Version
8 Remember 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! 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.

A Trustworthy Saying
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David according to my gospel, 9 in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of imprisonment[a] as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound. 10 Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, in order that they also may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 The saying is trustworthy:
For if we died with him, we will also live with him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign with him;
if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful—he cannot deny himself[b].[c]
