2 Timothy 2:8-10

2. The examples of Jesus and Paul 2:8-10

Paul proceeded to undergird his appeal to suffer hardship with the examples of Jesus (2 Timothy 2:8) and himself (2 Timothy 2:9-10). 2 Timothy 2:8-10 form a single sentence in the Greek text, which has the effect of uniting Jesus and Paul in their respective examples. Paul replicated Jesus’ example.
