8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: |
9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. |
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which 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: |
12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: |
13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny 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. |
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. |
