    2 Timothy 2:1-13

    1 You therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
    2 And the things that you have heard me say among many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be qualified to teach others as well.
    3 Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
    4 A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
    5 Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.
    6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.
    7 Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.
    8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
    9 for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
    10 For 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.
    11 This is a trustworthy saying:
If we died with Him,
we will also live with Him;
    12 if we endure,
we will also reign with Him;
if we deny Him,
He will also deny us;
    13 if we are faithless,
He remains faithful,
for He cannot deny Himself.
