2 Timothy 1:11-12

11That is the same good news that God has chosen me to tell to people. He has sent me as his apostle to teach his message to people.

12That is why I have these troubles. But I am not ashamed to be in prison. I have believed in Christ and I know him well. I know that I can trust him to keep his message safe. God has given me the authority to speak that message to people at this time. Christ has the power to keep it safe until that great day when he comes back.
