Bible Text

2 Timothy 2:8-13

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

11 The saying is trustworthy, for:

If we have died with him, we will also live with him;

12 if we endure, we will also reign with him;

if we deny him, he also will deny us;

13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful—

for he cannot deny himself.

Reflection & Application

  • What does Paul exhort Timothy to “remember” and why? How would my life be different if I remembered this regularly?

  • What is the relationship between Apostle Paul “suffering” and being “bound with chains as a criminal” and the word of God being “not bound”?
