2 Timothy 2:3-13

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 2 Timothy 2:3-13

3Join me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
4A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him.
5Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.
6The hardworking farmer should be the first to partake of the crops.
7Consider what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all things.
8Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David, as proclaimed by my gospel,
9for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
10For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
11This is a trustworthy saying:
If we 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,
for He cannot deny Himself.
— 2 Timothy 2:3-13
