12. For the which cause —For the Gospel cause of which I was appointed a preacher ( 2 Timothy 1:10 ; 2 Timothy 1:11 ). I also suffer —besides my active work as a missionary. ELLICOTT translates, "I suffer even these things"; the sufferings attendant on my being a prisoner ( 2 Timothy 1:8 ; 2 Timothy 1:15 ). I am not ashamed —neither be thou ( 2 Timothy 1:8 ). for —Confidence as to the future drives away shame [BENGEL]. I know —though the world knows Him not ( John 10:14 ; John 17:25 ). whom —I know what a faithful, promise-keeping God He is ( John 17:25- : ). It is not, I know how I have believed, but, I know WHOM I have believed; a feeble faith may clasp a strong Saviour. believed —rather, "trusted"; carrying out the metaphor of a depositor depositing his pledge with one whom he trusts. am persuaded — ( John 17:25- : ). he is able —in spite of so many foes around me. that which I have committed unto him — Greek, "my deposit"; the body, soul, and spirit, which I have deposited in God's safe keeping ( 1 Thessalonians 5:23 ; 1 Peter 4:19 ). So Christ Himself in dying ( Luke 23:46 ). "God deposits with us His word; we deposit with God our spirit" [GROTIUS]. There is one deposit (His revelation) committed by God to us, which we ought to keep ( 2 Timothy 1:13 ; 2 Timothy 1:14 ) and transmit to others ( 2 Timothy 2:2 ); there is another committed by God to us, which we should commit to His keeping, namely, ourselves and our heavenly portion. that day —the day of His appearing ( 2 Timothy 1:18 ; 2 Timothy 4:8 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
