9. wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11. Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him:
12. if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:
13. if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself.
