2 Timothy 1:8

8Therefore ado not be ashamed of bthe testimony about our Lord, nor of cme his prisoner, but dshare in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,

2 Timothy 2:3-12

3 eShare in suffering as fa good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4No soldier ggets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him. 5 hAn athlete is not icrowned unless he competes according to the rules. 6It is jthe hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. 7Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.

8Remember Jesus Christ, krisen from the dead, the loffspring of David, mas preached in my gospel, 9 nfor which I am suffering, obound with chains as a criminal. But pthe word of God is not bound! 10Therefore qI endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain rthe salvation that is in Christ Jesus with seternal glory. 11The saying is ttrustworthy, for:

uIf we have died with him, we will also vlive with him;
12 wif we endure, we will also reign with him;
xif we deny him, he also will deny us;
