In context
AI-assisted, sourced2 Timothy 2:8-13A faithful saying
About 2 Timothy 2Paul tells Timothy to "be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus," to commit what he heard "to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also," and to "endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." He gives a faithful saying: "if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him," and "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful." Timothy is to be "a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth," to shun vain babblings like those of Hymenaeus and Philetus, and to correct opponents "in meekness." 2 Timothy 2:12 Timothy 2:22 Timothy 2:32 Timothy 2:112 Timothy 2:132 Timothy 2:152 Timothy 2:162 Timothy 2:172 Timothy 2:252 Timothy overview
Why this verse matters here"If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us." Matthew 10:33 has the same warning: "whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny." 2 Timothy 2:12Matthew 10:33
