2 Timothy 2:8–13

The apostle Paul’s suffering is an extension of the suffering of Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the crucifixion and resurrection as the core of the good news about Jesus (1:12; see also 1:8). Paul’s suffering, like Christ’s, helped bring salvation to others. Christ approves of those who suffer and endure with him.

2 Timothy 2:1–13

Timothy is again told to be strong and endure suffering with Paul (2:1–7; see 1:8). Timothy should find motivation in the good news about Jesus and in Paul's example (2:8–13).
