2 Timoteo 2:11

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him , we shall also live with him :

Ver. 11. It is a faithful saying ] A sound and a sure assertion,Romans 8:17; Romans 8:17 . Afflictions are the praeludia triumphi, prelide of a triumph.

If we be dead ] As Christ, 2 Timothy 2:8 . Or, for Christ, if we be in deaths often, and at length lose our lives for his name’s sake.
