2 Timothy 2:8-13

New Living Translation

⁸Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach. ⁹And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained. ¹⁰So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.

¹¹This is a trustworthy saying:

If we die with him,
    we will also live with him.
¹²If we endure hardship,
    we will reign with him.
If we deny him,
    he will deny us.
¹³If we are unfaithful,
    he remains faithful,
    for he cannot deny who he is.

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]
