2 Timothy 1: 8-9
(Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but labour with the gospel, according to the power of God,
⁹ Who hath delivered us and called us by his holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the times of the world.

summary:

Paul encourages Timothy to join him in suffering for the Gospel, empowered by God who has saved and called them. He reflects on God’s divine purpose and grace given through Christ before the beginning of time. He explains his own suffering, testifying that he’s not ashamed because he knows whom he has believed in and is convinced that God is able to guard what has been entrusted to him.

Call to Endure Hardship (2 Timothy 1:8-12)
Timothy is encouraged not to be ashamed of the testimony about the Lord or of Paul, His prisoner (v. 8).
Paul speaks of the gospel’s power and his own suffering for it, affirming his confidence in God’s ability to guard what has been entrusted to him (v. 12).

2 Timothy 1: 12
 For which cause I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day.

2 Timothy 1 serves as a powerful letter from the apostle Paul to his faithful apprentice, Timothy. Filled with personal memories, heartfelt expressions of faith, and poignant encouragements, this chapter beautifully encapsulates the essence of spiritual mentorship, courage in the face of adversity, and unwavering commitment to the Gospel.

Be a Faithful Friend
Support and encourage fellow believers, especially those facing trials, as Onesiphorus did for Paul.

“Onesiphorus the man was a personal friend of Paul’s and a great blessing to him. Onesiphorus lived up to his name, which means “bringing profit.”
“Onesiphorus is only mentioned twice in the Bible, both times in the epistle of 2 Timothy. Early in the epistle, Paul writes a prayer of blessing upon Onesiphorus: “May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains. On the contrary, when he was in Rome, he searched hard for me until he found me. May the Lord grant that he will find mercy from the Lord on that day! You know very well in how many ways he helped me in Ephesus” (2 Timothy 1:16–18).
