   (In the Order Believed Written)

7 - Think over what I (Paul) am saying, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things. 8 Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead! The offspring of David, as told in the gospel I proclaim, 9 and for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound! 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect {to keep the message alive and intact} that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with enduring glory. 11 The saying is trustworthy. For if we have died with him {the imperfect human nature.. the flaws .. an exchange(!} we will also live with him {in his sort of being and life. As it says, “we shall be like him”.} 12 if we endure {this wicked, pushy, bullying world and any impediment} then we will also reign with him {during long second advent, a full scope version of his so brief first one? Helping, called reigning..} But should we deny him, he also will deny us, 13 {but!} if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself. {He “is Love” and “is perfect” so imperfect is this slow gehenna crucible, entropy and life as we presently know it, an unavoidable yet all important contrast.} 14 Remind them (Timothy/all) of these things, and charge them before God not to quarrel about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. {Ruins what the hearers hear.} 15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to shrink back, rightly handling the word of truth.
