9. in which I suffer even unto bonds as an evil-doer: but the word of God is not bound.
10. For this cause I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11. The word is faithful; for if we have died together with him, we shall also live together;
12. if we endure, we shall also reign together; if we deny, he also will deny us;
13. if we are unfaithful, he abides faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
14. Of these things put in remembrance, testifying earnestly before the Lord not to have disputes of words, profitable for nothing, to the subversion of the hearers.
