2 Timothy 2 : 8 - 15
Chapter 2
8 | Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,
|
9 | for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.
|
10 | Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
|
11 | This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.
|
12 | If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
|
13 | If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
|
14 | Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
|
15 | Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
|
The grace of God the Father be with you all.
Amen.
