2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]. We die in order to live. So our suffering with Christ worketh out for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory (2Co 4:17). Compare also Ro 8:17 Mt 19:27,28.

If we deny [him], he also will deny us. See Mt 10:33.

2:12 If we deny him - To escape suffering for him.

2:8-13 Let suffering saints remember, and look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith, who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despised the shame, and is now set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We must not think it strange if the best men meet with the worst treatment; but this is cheering, that the word of God is not bound. Here we see the real and true cause of the apostle's suffering trouble in, or for, the sake of the gospel. If we are dead to this world, its pleasures, profits, and honours, we shall be for ever with Christ in a better world. He is faithful to his threatenings, and faithful to his promises. This truth makes sure the unbeliever's condemnation, and the believer's salvation.
