Supreme Motive
1 You therefore, my (A) son, (B) be strong in the grace that is in (C) Christ Jesus.
2 The things (D) which you have heard from me in the presence of (E) many witnesses, (F) entrust these to (G) faithful men who will be (H)able to teach others also.
3 (I) Suffer hardship with me, as a good (J) soldier of (K) Christ Jesus.
4 No soldier in active service (L) entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.
5 Also if anyone (M) competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules.
6 (N) The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.
7 Consider what I say, for the LORD will give you understanding in everything.
8 Remember Jesus Christ, (O) risen from the dead, (P) descendant of David, (Q) according to my gospel, 9 for which I (R) suffer hardship even to (S) imprisonment as a (T) criminal; but (U) the Word of God (V) is not imprisoned.
10 For this reason (W) I endure all things for (X) the sake of those who are chosen, (Y) so that they also may obtain the (Z) salvation which is in (AA) Christ Jesus and with it (AB) eternal glory.
11 (AC) It is a trustworthy statement: For (AD) if we died with Him, we will also live with Him; 12 if we endure, (AE) we will also reign with Him; if we (AF) deny Him, He also will deny us; 13 if we are faithless, (AG) He remains faithful, for (AH) He cannot deny Himself.
