others….

2 Timothy 2:1-13
Christ Jesus.
14. “Remember the word
that I said to you: ‘A
servant is not greater
than his master.’ If
they persecuted me,
they will also
persecute you.”~ Jesus of Nazareth in
The Gospel of John 15:20
15. Beloved, do not be
surprised at the fiery trial
when it comes upon you
to test you, as though
something strange were
happening to you. But
rejoice insofar as you
share Christ's sufferings,
that you may also rejoice
and be glad when his
glory is revealed.
~ The Apostle Peter
in 1 Peter 4:12-14
16. If you are insulted for
the name of Christ, you
are blessed, because
the Spirit of glory and

you, that of the sake of
Christ you should not

18. 4 No soldier gets entangled in civilian
2 Timothy 2:1-13
pursuits, since his aim is to please the one
who has enlisted him. 5 An athlete is not
crowned unless he competes according
to the rules. 6 It is the hard-working farmer
who ought to have the first share of the
crops.

20. 7 Think over what I say, for the Lord will
2 Timothy 2:1-13
give you understanding in everything.
21. 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the
2 Timothy 2:1-13
dead, the offspring of David, as preached
in my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering
bound with chains as a criminal. But the
word of God is not bound!
22. 10 Therefore I endure everything for the
2 Timothy 2:1-13
sake of the elect, that they also may obtain
the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with
eternal glory.
23. “Five times I received at
the hands of the Jews the
forty lashes less one.
Three times I was beaten
with rods. Once I was
stoned. Three times I was
shipwrecked; a night and
a day I was adrift at sea;
on frequent journeys,
~ The Apostle Paul in
2 Corinthians 11:24-28
24. “…in danger from rivers,
danger from robbers, danger
from my own people, danger
from Gentiles, danger in the
city, danger in the wilderness,
danger at sea, danger from
false brothers; in toil and
hardship, through many a
sleepless night, in hunger
and thirst, often without food,
in cold and exposure.
~ The Apostle Paul in
2 Corinthians 11:24-28
25. “And, apart from other
things, there is the daily
pressure on me of my
anxiety for all the
churches.”

God, all other frowns
are inconsequential.”
