2 Timothy 1:10

2 Timothy 1:10

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

8 ^aTherefore do not be ashamed of ^bthe testimony of our Lord, nor of me ^cHis prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, ^anot according to our works, but ^baccording to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus ^cbefore time began,

10 but ^ahas now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

11 ^ato which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher¹ of the Gentiles.

12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, ^afor I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Be Loyal to the Faith

13 ^aHold fast ^bthe pattern of ^csound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.
