2 Timothy 2:9
Compare all
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. 
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.  

Approved and Disapproved Workers

14 Remind them of these things, acharging them before the Lord not to1 strive about words to no profit, to the ruin of the hearers.  
15 aBe diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:9

Wherein (en w). In my gospel.

I suffer hardship (kakopaqw). "I suffer evil." Old compound (kakon, pasxw), elsewhere in N.T., II Timothy 4:5; James 5:13.

Unto bonds (mexri desmwn). "Up to bonds." A common experience with Paul (II Corinthians 11:23; Philippians 1:7, Philippians 1:13-14; Colossians 4:18).

As a malefactor (wv kakourgov), old compound (kakon, ergw, doer of evil), in N.T. only here and Luke 23:32 ff. (of the robbers). One of the charges made against Paul.

Is not bound (ou dedetai). Perfect passive indicative of dew, to bind. Old verb. See I Corinthians 7:27, I Corinthians 7:39; Romans 7:2. I am bound with a chain, but no fetters are on the word of God (Pauline phrase; I Thessalonians 2:13; I Corinthians 14:36; II Corinthians 2:17; Philippians 1:14; Titus 2:5).
