2 Timothy 2:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ Think about what I am saying, because the Lord will give you the ability to understand everything.

⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, who was raised from the dead, who is from the family of David. This is the Good News I preach, ⁹ and I am suffering because of it to the point of being bound with chains like a criminal. But God’s teaching is not in chains.
