Context of 2 Timothy 1:12

10but now has been revealed through the appearing of our Savior Messiah Yeshua. Indeed, He nullified the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News. 11For this Good News I was appointed a herald and an emissary and a teacher. For this reason I also am suffering these things—but I am not ashamed, for I know in whom I have trusted and I am convinced He is able to safeguard what I have entrusted to Him until that Day. 13Keep the standard of sound words you have heard from me, in the faithfulness and love that are in Messiah Yeshua. 14Guard the good that has been entrusted to you, through the Ruach ha-Kodesh who dwells in us.

Commentaries on 2 Timothy 1:12

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12I am not ashamed - Though I suffer for the Gospel, I am not ashamed of the Gospel; nor am I confounded in my expectation; his grace being at all times sufficient for me. For I know whom I have believed - I am well acquainted with the goodness, mercy, and power of Christ; and know that I cannot confide in him in vain. That which I have committed unto him - This is variously understood. Some think he means his life, which he had put, as it were, into the…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12For the which cause I also suffer these things - That is, I suffer on account of my purpose to carry the gospel to the Gentiles; see the notes at Colossians 1:24. Nevertheless I am not ashamed - compare the notes at Romans 1:16.

And the spirit of a sound mind, quietness of mind. The Holy Spirit is not the author of a timid or cowardly disposition, or of slavish fears. We are likely to bear afflictions well, when we have strength and power from God to enable us to bear them. As…Read the comment

He set an example for Timothy to follow (see 2 Timothy 1:8). what I have entrusted to Him (or what has been entrusted to me; literally my deposit): The Greek phrase, my deposit, could mean either the good news about Jesus entrusted to Paul, or Paul’s life and ministry that he committed to God (see 1 Timothy 6:20).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1212. For the which cause--For the Gospel cause of which I was appointed a preacher (2Ti 1:10, 11). I also suffer--besides my active work as a missionary.

I am not ashamed--neither be thou (2Ti 1:8). for--Confidence as to the future drives away shame [Bengel].
