7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel,
9 in which I suffer hardship to bonds, as a criminal. But God`s word isn`t bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect`s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 This saying is faithful: For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
12 If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we will deny him, he also will deny us.
13 If we are faithless, he remains faithful -- he can`t deny himself.
