A Trustworthy Saying

8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David according to my gospel, 9 in connection with which I suffer misfortune to the point of ⌊imprisonment⌋[fn] as a criminal, but the word of God is not bound. 10 Because of this, I endure all things for the sake of the chosen, in order that they also may obtain salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 The saying is trustworthy:

• For 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 also will deny us;
• 13 if we are unfaithful, he remains faithful— he cannot deny himself[fn].[fn]
