Compare all
7 For aGod has not given us a spirit of fear, bbut of power and of love and of a sound mind.  

Not Ashamed of the Gospel

8 aTherefore do not be ashamed of bthe testimony of our Lord, nor of me cHis prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,  
9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, anot according to our works, but baccording to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus cbefore time began,  
10 but ahas now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,  
11 ato which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher1 of the Gentiles.  
12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, afor I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

2 Timothy 1:9

Called us with a holy calling (kalesantov klhsei agiai). Probably dative, "to a holy calling." Klhsiv here apparently not the invitation, but the consecrated service, "the upward calling" (Philippians 3:14). See I Corinthians 7:20; Ephesians 4:1, Ephesians 4:4 for the use of kalew with klhsiv. Paul often uses kalew of God's calling men (I Thessalonians 2:12; I Corinthians 1:9; Galatians 1:6; Romans 8:20; Romans 9:11).

Purpose (proqesin). See Romans 9:11; Ephesians 1:11 for proqesin.

Which was given (thn doqeisan). First aorist passive articular participle agreeing with xariv (grace), a thoroughly Pauline expression (I Corinthians 3:10; Romans 12:3, Romans 12:6, etc.), only here in Pastoral Epistles.

Before times eternal (pro xronwn aiwniwn). See Titus 1:2.
