2 Timothy 2:1–13 ● 2024-07-07 ● Series: Power of the Gospel ● Listen
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2Entrust the things you heard from me, in the presence of many witnesses, to faithful men who will also be able to teach others.
3Share hardships as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the affairs of everyday life. If he does, he will not please the one who enlisted him. 5Also, if someone competes as an athlete, he does not receive a crown unless he competes according to the rules. 6The hardworking farmer should receive a share of the crops first. 7Think about what I am saying, because the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, a descendant[] of David, in accordance with my gospel, 9for which I am suffering, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained. 10For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they also may obtain[] the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, along with eternal glory. 11This saying is trustworthy:
Indeed, if we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12If we endure, we will also reign with him;
If we deny him, he will also deny us;
13If we are faithless, he remains faithful, because he cannot deny himself.
-2 Timothy 2:1–13 (EHV)
