2 Timothy 1:9-11
Contemporary English Version
2 Timothy 1:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 God saved us and chose us
to be his holy people.
We did nothing
to deserve this,
but God planned it
because he is so kind.
Even before time began
God planned for Christ Jesus
to show kindness to us.
10 Now Christ Jesus has come
to offer us God's gift
of undeserved grace.
Christ our Savior defeated death
and brought us
the good news.
It shines like a light
and offers life
that never ends.
11 (A) My work is to be a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher.[a]
