2 Timothy 1:8-10 Therefore do no be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, norof me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and mortality to light through the gospel. (2 Timothy 1:8-10 ESV).
