Discovery Box2 Timothy 1:8 
Context1:8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord 1 or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by 2 God’s power accept your share of suffering 3 for the gospel.
2 Timothy 1:12
Context1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. 4 But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set 5 and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me 6 until that day. 7
2 Timothy 1:16
Context1:16 May the Lord grant mercy to the family of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my imprisonment. 8
1 tn Grk “the testimony of our Lord.”
2 tn Or “according to.”
3 tn Grk “suffer hardship together,” implying “join with me in suffering.”
4 tn Grk “suffer these things.”
5 tn Or “in whom I have believed.”
6 sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.
7 sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
8 tn Grk “my chain.”
