2 Timothy 1:11-12
Context1:11 For this gospel 1 I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher. 2 1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. 3 But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set 4 and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me 5 until that day. 6
[1:11] 2 tc Most
[1:12] 3 tn Grk “suffer these things.”
[1:12] 4 tn Or “in whom I have believed.”
[1:12] 5 sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.
[1:12] 6 sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
