提摩太後書 1:8

8 你 不 要 以 給 我 們 的 主 作 見 證 為 恥 ， 也 不 要 以 我 這 為 主 被 囚 的 為 恥 ； 總 要 按 神 的 能 力 ， 與 我 為 福 音 同 受 苦 難 。

提摩太後書 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 1:8

Be not then therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
&c.] Either that testimony which Christ bore personally by his doctrine and miracles, and by his sufferings and death; or rather the Gospel so called, because it comes from Christ, and because it is a testimony concerning him; concerning his person, his offices, his righteousness, blood, sacrifice, and satisfaction; concerning his obedience, sufferings, death, resurrection, ascension, session at God's right hand, intercession for his people, and second coming to judgment; and concerning life and salvation by him: and which no preacher or professor of Christ has reason to be ashamed of, it being so true in itself, so great, so glorious, and so useful; and whoever is, Christ will be ashamed of him another day:

nor of me his prisoner;
for Paul was now a prisoner at Rome, but not for any capital crime, or for any immorality, but for the sake of Christ, and for preaching his Gospel; wherefore none of his friends had any reason to be ashamed of him; he was suffering in a glorious cause, and setting a noble example to others; it looks as if Timothy was somewhat blameworthy in this respect.

But be thou partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel;
the Gospel is here represented as a person suffering afflictions, and the apostle would have Timothy suffer them as that did, and along with it; he means those afflictions which come upon men for preaching and professing the Gospel; for though the Gospel is a Gospel of peace, yet, through the corruption and depravity of men, it brings a sword, division, and trouble. Tribulation arises on account of it; and this should be endured patiently, and constantly, for the sake of it:

according to the power of God;
which is only sufficient to enable persons to bear them; and is mentioned for the encouragement of Timothy and others, to endure them cheerfully.

提摩太後書 1:8 In-Context

6 為 此 我 提 醒 你 ， 使 你 將 神 藉 我 按 手 所 給 你 的 恩 賜 再 如 火 挑 旺 起 來 。

7 因 為 神 賜 給 我 們 ， 不 是 膽 怯 的 心 ， 乃 是 剛 強 、 仁 愛 、 謹 守 的 心 。

8 你 不 要 以 給 我 們 的 主 作 見 證 為 恥 ， 也 不 要 以 我 這 為 主 被 囚 的 為 恥 ； 總 要 按 神 的 能 力 ， 與 我 為 福 音 同 受 苦 難 。

9 神 救 了 我 們 ， 以 聖 召 召 我 們 ， 不 是 按 我 們 的 行 為 ， 乃 是 按 他 的 旨 意 和 恩 典 ； 這 恩 典 是 萬 古 之 先 ， 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 賜 給 我 們 的 ，

10 但 如 今 藉 著 我 們 救 主 基 督 耶 穌 的 顯 現 才 表 明 出 來 了 。 他 已 經 把 死 廢 去 ， 藉 著 福 音 ， 將 不 能 壞 的 生 命 彰 顯 出 來 。
