8. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel,
9. for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!
10. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11. The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12. if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13. if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.
