2 Timothy 2:8-14
English Standard Version
2 Timothy 2:8-14
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 Worker Approved by God
14 Remind them of these things, and (R)charge them before God[a] (S)not to quarrel about words, (T)which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.

2 Timothy 2:8-14
New International Version
2 Timothy 2:8-14
New International Version
8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,(A) descended from David.(B) This is my gospel,(C) 9 for which I am suffering(D) even to the point of being chained(E) like a criminal. But God’s word(F) is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything(G) for the sake of the elect,(H) that they too may obtain the salvation(I) that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.(J)
11 Here is a trustworthy saying:(K)
If we died with him,
we will also live with him;(L)
12 if we endure,
we will also reign with him.(M)
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;(N)
13 if we are faithless,
he remains faithful,(O)
for he cannot disown himself.
Dealing With False Teachers
14 Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words;(P) it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
