2 Timothy 1:8b-10
Chapter 1
8
Do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord or to see me in chains. Instead, do your part in working for the gospel with the strength that comes from God.
9
He saved us and called us to a holy life, not based on our works but according to his own purpose and the grace bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began.
10
This calling has now been revealed through the glorious appearing of Christ Jesus, our Lord, who overcame death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
