2 Timothy 2:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible
11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
14 Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.
15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
