Context of 2 Timothy 2:10
8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel, 9for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned. 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. 11The statement is trustworthy: For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him; 12If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us;
