11Here is a saying you can trust.

If we died with him,

we will also live with him.

12If we don’t give up,

we will also rule with him.

If we say we don’t know him,

he will also say he doesn’t know us.

13Even if we are not faithful,

he will remain faithful.

He must be true to himself.

Read in Logos
2 Timothy 2:12–13: …if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful—for he cannot deny himself.
