2 Timothy 2:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 Remember Jesus Christ, (A)risen from the dead, of the (B)seed of David, (C)according to my gospel, 9 [a]for which I (D)endure hardship even to (E)chains as a (F)criminal. But (G)the word of God (H)has not been chained. 10 For this reason (I)I endure all things for (J)the sake of the elect, (K)so that they also may obtain the (L)salvation, which is in (M)Christ Jesus, with (N)eternal glory. 11 (O)It is a trustworthy saying:
For (P)if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12 If we endure, (Q)we will also reign with Him;
If we (R)will deny Him, He also will deny us;
13 If we are faithless, (S)He remains faithful, for (T)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]
