Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner: but suffer affliction for the sake of the gospel according to the power of God;

but now having been made manifest through the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one having indeed destroyed death, and lighted up life and immortality through the gospel,

on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto that day.

Suffer affliction, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

in whom I suffer affliction as an evil-doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

But truly all wishing to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

But be thou sober in all things, suffer affliction, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
