2 Timothy 1:10

1:10 but now made visible through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus. He ⁷  has broken the power of death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel!

¹ tn Or “a spirit,” denoting the human personality under the Spirit’s influence as in 1 Cor 4:21; Gal 6:1; 1 Pet 3:4. But the reference to the Holy Spirit at the end of this section (1:14) makes it likely that it begins this way also, so that the Holy Spirit is the referent.

² tn Or “form.”

³ tn Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.

³ tn Grk “the testimony of our Lord.”

⁴ tn Or “according to.”

⁵ tn Grk “suffer hardship together,” implying “join with me in suffering.”

⁴ tn Grk “having broken…and having brought…” (describing Christ). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here (and at the beginning of v. 11) in the translation.

⁵ tn Grk “that is in you.”

⁶ tn Grk “recalling” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁷ tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”

⁸ tn Or “convinced.”
