Bear your share of hardship for the gospel

with the strength that comes from God.

He saved us and called us to a holy life,
not according to our works
but according to his own design
and the grace
bestowed on us in Christ Jesus before time began,
but now made manifest
through the appearance of our savior Christ Jesus,
who destroyed death
and brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel.
2 Timothy 1:8b-10
