2 Timothy 2:1-13 (New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
1
You then, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus;
2
and what you have heard from me through many witnesses entrust to faithful people who will be able to teach others as well.
3
Share in suffering like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4
No one serving in the army gets entangled in everyday affairs; the soldier's aim is to please the enlisting officer.
5
And in the case of an athlete, no one is crowned without competing according to the rules.
6
It is the farmer who does the work who ought to have the first share of the crops.
7
Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
8
Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David—that is my gospel,
9
for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.
10
Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, so that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
11
The saying is sure: If we have 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.
