• It is a remarkable fact that, so early in the history of the Church, as once before indeed at Antioch when Paul withstood Peter to the face, the maintenance of the truth of God depended upon the faithfulness of one man, and he a captive. Courage, and such courage as God alone could give, was requisite at such a crisis. (“Exposition of 2 Timothy: 2 Timothy 1:8-11” by E. Dennett)

• “Suffer evil along with the gospel.” The gospel is in a way personified, and Timothy is urged to cast in his lot with it fully and entirely. (“Exposition of 2 Timothy: 2 Timothy 1:8-11” by E. Dennett)

• How precious to possess that which is eternal, that which is founded on the power and on the work of God Himself! (“2 Timothy 1” by J.N. Darby)

• the maintenance of the truth of God depended upon the faithfulness of one man, and he a captive (“2 Timothy 1:8-11”)

• to have been ashamed of Paul, being what he was, would have been to be ashamed of the testimony of the Lord. (“2 Timothy 1:8-11”)

• The gospel is in a way personified, and Timothy is urged to cast in his lot with it fully and entirely, at whatever cost, that the reproaches which might fall upon it might also be borne by him (“2 Timothy 1:8-11”)

• no human energy, no steadfastness of purpose, nothing short of divine power, will avail in the conflicts of service in the gospel. (“2 Timothy 1:8-11”)
