2 Timothy

2 Timothy 2:10–14

¹⁰For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

¹¹This is a trustworthy saying:

If we died with Him,

we will also live with Him;

¹²if we endure,

we will also reign with Him;

if we deny Him,

He will also deny us;

¹³if we are faithless,

He remains faithful,

for He cannot deny Himself.

¹⁴Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God^a to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.
