(E)Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure; 13 being defamed, we [b]entreat. (F)We have been made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

2 Timothy 2:3-12
New King James Version
3 You therefore must (A)endure[a] hardship (B)as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 (C)No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 And also (D)if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and [b]may the Lord (E)give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember that Jesus Christ, (F)of the seed of David, (G)was raised from the dead (H)according to my gospel, 9 (I)for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, (J)even to the point of chains; (K)but the word of God is not chained. 10 Therefore (L)I endure all things for the sake of the [c]elect, (M)that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This is a faithful saying:
For (N)if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
12 (O)If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
(P)If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
