Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
'Remember Jesus Christ, as raised from the dead.' Remember Christ in His character as raised, so as to follow Him. As He was raised after death, so, if thou wouldest share His risen 'life,' thou must share His 'death' (2 Timothy 2:11). [The perfect passive participle, egeegermenon (G1453), implies a permanent character acquired by the risen Saviour, and our permanent interest in Him as such.] Christ's resurrection is made prominent, being the truth now assailed (2 Timothy 2:18), and the one calculated to stimulate Timothy to share Paul's sufferings for the Gospel's sake (note, 2 Timothy 2:3).
Of the seed of David - the one and only genealogy (contrasted with the "endless genealogies," 1 Timothy 1:4) worth thinking of, for it proves Jesus to be Messiah, and also the Heir of the throne of David (Jeremiah 23:5; Matt. 23:42-45; John 7:42). The absence of the Greek article, and this formula, "of the seed of David" (cf. Romans 1:3-4), may imply that the words were part of a short creed. In His death He assured us of His humanity; by His resurrection, of His divinity. That He was not crucified for His own sin appears from His resurrection; that He was crucified, shows that He bore sin on, though not in, Him.
My gospel - that which I always taught.
