Discovery Box2 Timothy 1:8-10 
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. 1:9 He is the one who saved us 4 and called us with a holy calling, not based on 5 our works but on his own purpose and grace, granted to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 6 1:10 but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He 7 has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!

2 Timothy 4:17
Context4:17 But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message 9 would be fully proclaimed 10 for all the Gentiles to hear. And so I was delivered from the lion’s mouth!
