9. For which I suffer as if I were an evil-doer, even to the point of the bais hasohar's bonds, but the Dvar Hashem has no bonds.
10. Therefore, I endure all things for the sake of the Bechirim (the Chosen ones), in order that they also may obtain the Yeshu'at HaEloheinu in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua with kavod olamim.
11. Trustworthy is Hashem, for if we died [to the Olam Hazeh] with Him, also we will live [in the Olam Habah] with Him.
12. If we endure, we also will reign with Him; if we will deny Him, He also will deny us.
13. If we are not ne'emanim (faithful), He remains ne'eman (faithful), for to deny Himself, He is not able.
14. Remind them of these things, solemnly warning them in the presence of Hashem not to be engaged in disputes over devarim, which is not beneficial, but only ruins the hearers.
15. Do your best to shtel zich (apply yourself), to present yourself to Hashem as one approved, a po'el (workman) without bushah (shame), keeping on a derech yashar the Dvar HaEmes.
