2 Timothy 2:10 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

2 Timothy 2:10

8 Remember that Jesus Christ, ^aof the seed of David, ^bwas raised from the dead ^caccording to my gospel,

9 ^afor which I suffer trouble as an evildoer, ^beven to the point of chains; ^cbut the word of God is not chained.

10 Therefore ^aI endure all things for the sake of the¹ elect, ^bthat they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 This is a faithful saying:
For ^aif we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.

12 ^aIf we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
^bIf we deny Him,
He also will deny us.

13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He ^acannot deny Himself.

2 Timothy 2:10

Therefore—Because of the anxiety I feel that the Gospel should be extended; that anxiety being implied in II Timothy 2:9.

endure—not merely "I passively suffer," but "I actively and perseveringly endure," and "am ready to endure patiently all things."

the elect's sakes—for the sake of the Church: all the members of Christ's spiritual body (Colossians 1:24).

they . . . also—as well as myself: both God's elect not yet converted and those already so.

salvation . . . glory—not only salvation from wrath, but glory in reigning with Him eternally (II Timothy 2:12). Glory is the full expansion of salvation (Acts 2:47; Romans 8:21-24, Romans 8:30; Hebrews 9:28). So grace and glory (Psalms 84:12).
