2 Timothy 2:8

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David, etc.] This is said either as an encouragement to suffer hardness in the cause of Christ; since he, who though he was of the seed of David, of the blood royal, and heir to his crown, yet suffered and died; and whereas he rose again from the dead, those who suffer for his sake shall rise also, and live and reign with him for ever: or else as a specimen of the form of sound words, or of the things which Timothy had heard of the apostle; for this, with what follows, is a summary of them: Christ being of the seed of David, according to the flesh, or human nature, is expressive of his incarnation; shows that he was really come in the flesh, and was…”

“Rather as Greek, "Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead." Remember Christ risen, so as to follow Him. As He was raised after death, so if thou wouldest share His risen "life," thou must now share His "death" (Ti2 2:11). The Greek perfect passive participle, implies a permanent character acquired by Jesus as the risen Saviour, and our permanent interest in Him as such. Christ's resurrection is put prominently forward as being the truth now assailed (Ti2 2:18), and the one best calculated to stimulate Timothy to steadfastness in sharing Paul's sufferings for the Gospel's sake (see on Ti2 2:3). of the seed of David--The one and only genealogy (as contrasted with the "endless genealogies,"…”

“Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead - Or rather, perhaps, “Remember Jesus Christ; him who was raised from the dead.” The idea seems not to be, as our translators supposed, that he was to reflect on the fact that he was raised from the dead; but rather that he was to think of the Saviour himself. “Think of the Saviour, now raised up from the dead after all the sorrows of this life, and let this encourage you to bear your trials.” There is nothing better fitted to enable us to endure the labors and trials of this life, than to think of the Saviour. On the phrase “seed of David,” see the notes at Romans 1:3. According to my gospel - The gospel which I…”

“Of the seed of David - This one genealogy attend to. 2 Timothy 2:9”

“2:8-13 Paul’s suffering (1:12) reflects the suffering of Jesus Christ and points to the cross and resurrection as the inner meaning of that Good News (see 1:8). Paul’s suffering, like Christ’s, was instrumental in bringing salvation to others. Christ gives his approval to those who suffer and endure with him. 2:8 Jesus Christ, a descendant of King David, was raised from the dead: Cp. Rom 1:3-4. Suffering with Christ should be viewed from the perspective of the resurrection to come.”

“Remember: Heb 12:2, Heb 12:3 Jesus: Mat 1:1; Act 2:30, Act 13:23; Rom 1:3, Rom 1:4; Rev 5:5 raised: Luk 24:46; Act 2:24; Co1 15:1, Co1 15:4, Co1 15:11-20 according: Rom 2:16, Rom 16:25; Th2 2:14; Ti1 1:11, Ti1 2:7 2 Timothy 2:9”
