Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,

Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:

for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.

Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

The statement is trustworthy: For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us;

If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
