2 Timothy 2:8–13

A reading from Second TImothy, the second chapter.

Remember Jesus Christ,

risen from the dead,
the offspring of David,
as preached in my gospel,
for which I am suffering,
bound with chains as a criminal.

But the word of God is not bound!

Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect,

that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

The saying is trustworthy,

for:
If we have died with him,
we will also live with him;
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.

O Lord, have mercy on us.
