2 Timothy 2:10-16
New American Standard Bible
11The statement is trustworthy: For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;
12If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us;
13If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.
14Remind them of these things, and solemnly exhort them in the presence of God not to dispute about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the listeners.
15Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
16But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,
King James Version
Chapter 2
10Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: 12If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.Christian Standard Bible

New Living Translation
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him;
12 if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;
13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful — for he cannot deny himself.
14Remind them of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers.
15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
16But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,
New International Version
11Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him;
12if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;
13if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.
14Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.
15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
16Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
New King James Version
11This is a faithful saying: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him.
12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
13If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.
14Remind them of these things, charging them before the Lord not to strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.
15Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
