Remember Jesus Christ And The Gospel For Which I Am Imprisoned

⁸ Be remembering Jesus Christ having been raised from the dead, from the seed of David, according to my good-news— ⁹ in connection with which^[a] I am suffering-hardship to the point of imprisonment like a criminal. Nevertheless the Word of God has not been bound^[b]! ¹⁰ For this reason, I am enduring all things for the sake of the chosen ones, in order that they also may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

If We Endure, We Will Reign With Him. He Will Be Faithful To Us

¹¹ The saying is trustworthy— for if we died-with Him, we will also live-with Him; ¹² if we are enduring, we will also reign-with Him; if we shall deny Him, that One also will deny us; ¹³ if we are faithless^[c], that One remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself. ¹⁴ Be reminding them of these things, solemnly-warning in the sight of God not to battle-about-words for nothing useful^[d], to^[e] the overthrow^[f] of the ones hearing.

Be Diligent To Present Yourself As an Approved Worker of The Word of Truth

¹⁵ Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker not-needing-to-be-ashamed, cutting-straight^[g] the word of truth.

Jesus Heals Ten Lepers. One Returns To Give Thanks

¹¹ And it came about during the proceeding to Jerusalem that He was going through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. ¹² And while He was entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood at-a-distance. ¹³ And they lifted their voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, have-mercy-on us!” ¹⁴ And having seen them, He said to them, “Having gone, show yourselves to the priests”. And it came about during their going that they were cleansed. ¹⁵ And one of them, having seen that he was healed, returned glorifying God with a loud voice. ¹⁶ And he fell on his face at His feet while giving-thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷ And having responded, Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? ¹⁸ Were none found having returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹ And He said to him, “Having arisen, go. Your faith has restored you”.
