2 Timothy 1:12

And it is for this reason. This implies that the unbelieving Jews are the cause of his second imprisonment. Compare Acts 22:21-22; Ephesians 3:1 (which show the cause of his first imprisonment). Christ said it would be this way (John 16:33; Matthew 10:34-39). But I am still full of confidence. "I know the power of the One who appointed me to preach the Good News." What he has entrusted to me. The TEV give the correct translation, as PARATHEKE has that meaning in other places Paul uses it (1 Timothy 6:20; 2 Timothy 1:14). Spain says this best fits the context of 2 Timothy 1:11-14. Chrysostom understands the thing entrusted as: "the faith, the preaching of the Gospel." [If it is understood as "What I have entrusted to Him," it is Paul's entire person, body, soul, and spirit.]
