If we don’t give up, we will also rule with him. If we say we don’t know him, he will also say he doesn’t know us.

我们若能忍耐，也必和他一同作王。我们若不认他，他也必不认我们；

我们若忍耐到底，也必和他一同作王。我们若不认他，他也必不认我们；

我们若忍耐到底，也必和他一同作王。我们若不认他，他也必不认我们；

我们若忍耐到底，就必与祂一同做王。我们若不承认祂，祂也必不承认我们。

我们若能坚忍，就必与他一同作王；我们若不认他，他必不认我们；

我们如果忍耐，就将与他一同做王；我们如果不认他，他也将不认我们。

我們若能忍耐，也必和他一同作王。我們若不認他，他也必不認我們；

我們若忍耐到底，也必和他一同作王。我們若不認他，他也必不認我們；

我們若忍耐到底，也必和他一同作王。我們若不認他，他也必不認我們；

我們若忍耐到底，就必與祂一同作王。我們若不承認祂，祂也必不承認我們。

我們若能堅忍，就必與他一同作王；我們若不認他，他必不認我們；

我們若堅忍到底，也必和他同掌王權；我們若否認他，他也必否認我們；

我們如果忍耐，就將與他一同做王；我們如果不認他，他也將不認我們。

若恆忍亦必與之同王、若不識之、彼亦不識我、

若同忍難、必同乘權、我若拒主、主必拒我、

若同受難、亦必同王、我若不認彼、彼必不認我、

人若共其辱、亦當共其榮。人若不認主、主亦無從認。

if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;

if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us;

If we endure hardship, we will reign with him. If we deny him, he will deny us.

if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he will also deny us;

If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He will also deny us;

If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.

if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us:

if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

If we suffer, we shall also reign with[ him]: if we deny[ him], he also will deny us:

If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he will also deny us.

If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

As his children, we will receive all that he has for us. We will share what Christ receives. But we must share in his sufferings if we want to share in his glory.

But what if someone says in front of others that they don’t know me? I will say in front of my Father who is in heaven that I don’t know them.

I saw thrones. Those who had been given authority to judge were sitting on them. I also saw the souls of those whose heads had been cut off. They had been killed because they had spoken what was true about Jesus. They had also been killed because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its statue. They had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. They came to life and ruled with Christ for 1,000 years.

Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them. They will be priests of God and of Christ. They will rule with him for 1,000 years.

But what about someone who says in front of others that he doesn’t know me? I, the Son of Man, will say in front of God’s angels that I don’t know him.

You have made them members of a royal family. You have made them priests to serve our God. They will rule on the earth.”

Suppose anyone is ashamed of me and my words among these adulterous and sinful people. Then the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Instead, be joyful that you are taking part in Christ’s sufferings. Then you will have even more joy when Christ returns in glory.Suppose people say bad things about you because you believe in Christ. Then you are blessed, because God’s Spirit rests on you. He is the Spirit of glory.If you suffer, it shouldn’t be because you are a murderer. It shouldn’t be because you are a thief or someone who does evil things. It shouldn’t be because you interfere with other people’s business.But suppose you suffer for being a Christian. Then don’t be ashamed. Instead, praise God because you are known by the name of Christ.

Certain people have secretly slipped in among you. Long ago it was written that they would be judged. They are ungodly people. They misuse the grace of our God as an excuse for sexual sins. They say no to Jesus Christ, our only Lord and King.

Suppose someone is ashamed of me and my words. The Son of Man will come in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels. Then he will be ashamed of that person.

Who is the liar? It is anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. The person who says this is the great enemy of Christ. They say no to the Father and the Son.The person who says no to the Son doesn’t belong to the Father. But anyone who says yes to the Son belongs to the Father also.

I, John, am a believer like you. I am a friend who suffers like you. As members of Jesus’ royal family, we can put up with anything that happens to us. I was on the island of Patmos because I taught God’s word and what Jesus said.

‘ I know what you are doing. Look! I have put an open door in front of you. No one can shut it. I know that you don’t have much strength. But you have obeyed my word. You have not said no to me.

‘ I know that you live where Satan has his throne. But you remain faithful to me. You did not give up your faith in me. You didn’t give it up even in the days of Antipas. Antipas, my faithful witness, was put to death in your city, where Satan lives.

So among God’s churches we brag about the fact that you don’t give up easily. We brag about your faith in all the suffering and testing you are going through.All of this proves that when God judges, he is fair. So you will be considered worthy to enter God’s kingdom. You are suffering for his kingdom.God is fair. He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble.He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All these things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with his powerful angels.He will punish those who don’t know God. He will punish those who don’t obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.

“ We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said.“ The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will sentence him to death. Then they will hand him over to the Gentiles.

But Peter said,“ I may have to die with you. But I will never say I don’t know you.” And all the other disciples said the same thing.

If you don’t, I might have too much. Then I might say I don’t know you. I might say,‘ Who is the Lord?’ Or I might become poor and steal. Then I would bring shame to the name of my God.

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus said to them.“ When all things are made new, the Son of Man will sit on his glorious throne. Then you who have followed me will also sit on 12 thrones. You will judge the 12 tribes of Israel.Suppose anyone has left houses, brothers or sisters, father or mother, husband or wife, children or fields because of me. Anyone who has done that will receive 100 times as much. They will also receive eternal life.

So don’t be afraid in any way of those who oppose you. This will show them that they will be destroyed and that you will be saved. That’s what God will do.

Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said.“ The rooster will crow,” Jesus had told him.“ Before it does, you will say three times that you don’t know me.” Peter went outside. He broke down and cried.

He has made us members of his royal family. He has made us priests who serve his God and Father. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ for ever and ever! Amen.

There they helped the believers gain strength. They told them to remain faithful to what they had been taught.“ We must go through many hard times to enter God’s kingdom,” they said.
