2 Timothy 2:11
9 for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!
10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
