2 Timothy 2:8

A Trustworthy Saying

⁷ Think over the things I am saying [grasp their application], for the Lord will grant you insight and understanding in everything. ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ [the ever-living Lord who has] risen from the dead, [as the prophesied King] descended from David [king of Israel], according to my gospel [the good news that I preach], ⁹ for that [gospel] I am suffering even to [the point of] wearing chains like a criminal; but the word of God is not chained or imprisoned!
