Overview & Insights

"The saying is sure: If we have died with him, we will also live with him." (2 Timothy 2:11)

Paul urges Timothy to remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, as the center of the gospel for which Paul himself is chained like a criminal, quoting what appears to be an early Christian hymn about dying and living with Christ, and charging Timothy to rightly handle the word of truth rather than wrangle over words.
