"Fix thy mind on Jesus Christ, sprung from the race of David, who has risen from the dead; that is the gospel I preach,
and in its service I suffer hardship like a criminal, yes, even imprisonment; but there is no imprisoning the word of God. For its sake I am ready to undergo anything; for love of the elect, that they, like us, may win salvation in Christ Jesus, and eternal glory with it. It is well said, We are to share his life, because we have shared his death; if we endure, we shall reign with him, if we disown him, he in his turn will disown us. If we play him false, he remains true to his word; he cannot disown himself." -2 Timothy 2:8-13

I love the way the final sentence is rendered.
"If we play him false, he remains true to his word; he cannot disown himself."
"If we play him false"? What does that mean?
It means to deceive.
