Context of 2 Timothy 2:10

8Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9In which I suffer trouble, as an evildoer, even to bonds; but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11It is a faithful saying: For if we are dead with him, we shall also live with him : 12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us:
