if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

2 Timothy 2:13 in context

The verses around it, from 2 Timothy 2.

9 for which I suffer to the extent of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained!

10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of the elect, so that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.

11 This is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

12 if we endure, we will also reign with Him; if we deny Him, He will also deny us;

13 if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.

14 Remind the believers of these things, charging them before God to avoid quarreling over words, which succeeds only in leading the listeners to ruin.

15 Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

16 But avoid irreverent, empty chatter, which will only lead to more ungodliness,

17 and the talk of such men will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
