提摩太後書 2:8-9 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-13

Hardship in connection with the Christian ministry. I. PRELIMINARY EXHORTATION . 1 . As to personal strength . "Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." As the apostle's power of working was already much crippled by close imprisonment, he naturally felt anxious regarding the future of Christ's cause. In calling Timothy his son, he does not formally name him as his successor. At the same time, he may be regarded as looking to him as one... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-14

Endurance the lot of Christ's ministers. Continual endurance of evil, whether directed specially against himself, or generally thwarting the cause which he has most at heart, is the ordinary lot of the minister of Jesus Christ exercising his ministry in an evil world. And in order to be ready to encounter this evil, actively or passively, as the case may require, a complete concentration of purpose on the fulfilment of his ministry is absolutely required. If the heart is divided between... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:8

Jesus Christ, risen from the dead for that Jesus Christ...was raised from the dead, A.V.; of the seed of David for Jesus Christ of the seed of David, A.V. Remember Jesus Christ. The A.V. seems to give the sense more correctly than the R.V. The point of the exhortation is to remember that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, and by that remembrance to be encouraged to face even death courageously. The verb μνημονεύω , in the New Testament, usually governs the genitive case as e.g. Acts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:8

The contemplation of Christ an incentive to comfort and constancy. Timothy was to think of Christ's victory for himself and for us as a ground of encouragement. I. CHRIST THE PERPETUAL OBJECT OF CHRISTIAN REMEMBRANCE . "Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel." The two great facts that were to be ever present to Timothy's mind were the Incarnation and the Resurrection—the two miracles that stood, respectively, at the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:9

Hardship for trouble, A.V.; unto for even unto, A.V.; as a malefactor for as an evil doer, A.V.; transposition of clause, unto bonds. Wherein ( ἐν ᾧ ); i.e. in which gospel, in the preaching of which. Suffer hardship ( κακοπαθῶ ) ; as 2 Timothy 2:3 , T.R. Unto bonds ( μέχρι δεσμῶν ). So μέχρι θανάτου , Philippians 2:8 ; μέχρις αἵματος , Hebrews 12:4 ; but most frequently of time, "until," as Matthew 11:23 ; Matthew 13:30 ; Acts 10:30... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:9-10

The example of the apostle's own sufferings—their spiritual motive and design. I. TIMOTHY WAS TO BE ENCOURAGED BY THIS EXAMPLE . "Wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds as a malefacto." He was now a prisoner at Rome, because he preached the gospel of Jesus and the resurrection, and suffered as much as if he had been a breaker of all laws, human and Divine. II. THE APOSTLE 'S IMPRISONMENT DID NOT IMPOSE FETTERS UPON THE GOSPEL , "But the Word of God is... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 2:8

Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead - Or rather, perhaps, “Remember Jesus Christ; him who was raised from the dead.” The idea seems not to be, as our translators supposed, that he was to reflect on the fact that he was raised from the dead; but rather that he was to think of the Saviour himself. “Think of the Saviour, now raised up from the dead after all the sorrows of this life, and let this encourage you to bear your trials.” There is nothing better... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 2:9

Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil-doer - as if I were a violator of the laws. That is, I am treated as if I were a criminal.Even unto bonds - As if I were one of the words kind of malefactors; see the notes at Ephesians 6:20. During the apostle’s first imprisonment at Rome, he was permitted to “dwell in his own hired house,” though guarded by a soldier, and probably chained to him; see the notes at Acts 28:16, Acts 28:30. What was his condition in his second imprisonment, during which this... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Timothy 2:8-10

2 Timothy 2:8-10. Remember So as to be encouraged against, and supported under, any sufferings which thou mayest be called to endure for the truth; that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David According to the flesh; see on Romans 1:3; Hebrews 2:16; was raised from the dead And thereby demonstrated himself to be the true Messiah. So our translators have rendered the clause, understanding the sense to be, Remember and adhere to this important fact, as the great foundation of the gospel. But... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-13

Need for endurance (2:1-13)Like Onesiphorus, Timothy must persevere for the sake of Christ and endure hardship. He must push on vigorously with his task of passing on the truth Paul has taught him. He should do this wisely and carefully, by instructing people who are trustworthy and have the ability to teach others (2:1-2).In dealing with the difficulties in Ephesus, Timothy must realize that he is a soldier of Jesus Christ. He must expect suffering and endure it. A soldier is not concerned... read more
