2 Timothy 2:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 Remember Jesus Christ, (A)risen from the dead, (B)descendant of David, (C)according to my gospel, 9 [a]for which I (D)suffer hardship even to (E)imprisonment as a (F)criminal; but (G)the word of God (H)is not imprisoned. 10 For this reason (I)I endure all things for (J)the sake of [b]those who are chosen, (K)so that they also may obtain the (L)salvation which is in (M)Christ Jesus and with it (N)eternal glory. 11 (O)The statement is trustworthy:
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 [c](R)deny Him, He will also 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]
