6 The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops.
7 Consider what I say, and1 may the Lord agive you understanding in all things.  
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.

2 Timothy 2:8

Risen from the dead (eghgermenon ek nekrwn). Perfect passive participle of egeirw, still risen as the perfect tense shows in I Corinthians 15:4, I Corinthians 15:12-20. Predicate accusative. "Remember Jesus Christ as risen from the dead." This is the cardinal fact about Christ that proves his claim to be the Messiah, the Son of God. Christ is central for Paul here as in Philippians 2:5-11.

Of the seed of David (ek spermatov Daueid). The humanity of Christ as in Romans 1:3; Philippians 2:7 f.

According to my gospel (kata to euaggelion mou). Paul's very phrase in Romans 2:16; Romans 16:25. Not a written gospel, but my message. See also I Corinthians 15:1; II Corinthians 11:7; Galatians 1:11; Galatians 2:2; I Timothy 1:11.
