10 Therefore I suffer all things for the elect’s sake, that they might also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

11 [a]It is a true saying, For if we be (A)[b]dead together with him: we also shall live together with him.

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign together with him: (B)if we deny him, he also will deny us.

Footnotes

  1. 2 Timothy 2:11 The fourth admonition: we ought not to contend upon words and questions, which are not only unprofitable, but also for the most part hurtful: but rather upon this, how we may frame ourselves to all manner of patience, and to die also with Christ (that is to say, for Christ’s Name) because that is the plain way to the most glorious life: as contrariwise the falling away of men can diminish no part of the truth of God, although by such means, they procure most certain destruction to themselves.
  2. 2 Timothy 2:11 If we be afflicted with Christ, and for Christ’s sake.
