2 Timothy 2:12
Compare all
10 Therefore aI endure all things for the sake of the1 elect, bthat they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.  
11 This is a faithful saying:
For aif we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him. 
12 aIf we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
bIf we deny Him,
He also will deny us. 
13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He acannot deny Himself.  

Approved and Disapproved Workers

14 Remind them of these things, acharging them before the Lord not to1 strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.  
15 aBe diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.  
16 But shun profane and1 idle babblings, for they will2 increase to more ungodliness.  
17 And their message will spread like cancer. aHymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,  
18 who have strayed concerning the truth, asaying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some.  
19 Nevertheless athe solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord bknows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of1 Christ depart from iniquity.”  
20 But in a great house there are not only avessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.  
21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor,1 sanctified and useful for the Master, aprepared for every good work.  
22 aFlee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.  
23 But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.

2 Timothy 2:12

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him - The meaning is, that the members will be treated as the Head is. We become united with him by faith, and, if we share his treatment on earth, we shall share his triumphs in heaven; see the notes at Romans 8:17.

If we deny him, he also will deny us; - see the notes at Matthew 10:32-33.
