New International Version (NIV) |
|
9 wherein I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even unto bonds. But the Word of God is not bound.
|
9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained.
|
|
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
|
10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

|
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him;
|
11 Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;
|
|
12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us;
|
12 if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;
|
|
13 if we believe not, yet He abideth faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
|
13 if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
|
|
14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit but to the subverting of the hearers.
|
14 Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
|
|
15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
|
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
|
|
16 But shun profane and vain babblings, for they will increase unto more ungodliness,
|
16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
|
|
17 and their word will eat as doth a canker -- among whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
|
17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
|
|
18 who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrowing the faith of some.
|
18 who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.
|
|
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal: "The Lord knoweth those who are His," and, "Let every one who nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
|
19 Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
