In 2 Timothy 2:10 Paul speaks to Timothy about the ELECT.
Who are the elect?
Thanks.


2 Timothy 2:10

NASB
8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,
9for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.
10For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory.


NLT
8Always remember that Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead. This is the Good News I preach.
9And because I preach this Good News, I am suffering and have been chained like a criminal. But the word of God cannot be chained.
10So I am willing to endure anything if it will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ Jesus to those God has chosen.


NKJV
8Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,
9for which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, even to the point of chains; but the word of God is not chained.
10Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.


NIV
8Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel,
9for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained.
10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.


ESV
8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel,
9for which I am suffering, bound with chains as a criminal. But the word of God is not bound!
10Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11The saying is trustworthy, for:

Those Paul was ministering to, and who he had been called to specifically as a minister to the Gentiles.

What do I win?

I want a three weeks paid vacation to Hawaii with the person of my choice. :)

Not so fast!
If they're the elect, why is their salvation spoken of in the future tense?
