But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus in behalf of you Gentiles,--
Wherefore I ask that ye may not faint at my tribulations for you, which are your glory.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church;
Suffer hardship with (me), as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound.
