2 Timothy 1:11-13

New Century Version

¹¹ I was chosen to tell that Good News and to be an apostle and a teacher. ¹² I am suffering now because I tell the Good News, but I am not ashamed, because I know Jesus, the One in whom I have believed. And I am sure he is able to protect what he has trusted me with until that day.^{[a] 13} Follow the pattern of true teachings that you heard from me in faith and love, which are in Christ Jesus.
