SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:8
¶ Acurdate que Jess, el Cristo, resucit de los muertos, el cual fue de la simiente de David, conforme a mi Evangelio;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:8
Verse 8. Remember that Jesus Christ] The apostle seems to say: Whatever tribulations or deaths may befall us, let us remember that Jesus Christ, who was slain by the Jews, rose again from the dead, and his resurrection is the proof and pledge of ours. We also shall rise again to a life of glory and blessedness. According to my Gospel] The false teaching of Hymeneus and Philetus stated that the resurrection was past already. Paul preached the resurrection from the dead; and founded his doctrine on the resurrection and promise of Christ. This was his Gospel; the other was of a different nature.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 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 truly man; and that he assumed human nature with all its frailties and infirmities, excepting sin, and was, like David, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with griefs; and it includes his whole life, and his righteousness, and obedience to the law of works, and points him out as the true Messiah, who was well known to the Jews by the name of the son of David. And now the apostle puts Timothy in mind, that he was raised from the dead ; which implies that he died; and so includes all the doctrines relating to his death; as that he died to make reconciliation, atonement, and satisfaction for the sins of his people, and to procure peace for them, and the full remission of all their iniquities; and to obtain redemption for them, from sin, Satan, the law, and its curses; as well as it expresses his resurrection from the dead, for their justification: and this being his first step to glory, has connected with it his ascension to heaven, session at the right hand of God, intercession for the saints, and his second coming to judgment; and is therefore particularly mentioned, because it is an article so comprehensive, and is a fundamental one, and of the greatest importance to faith, and was what was struck at in those times: the apostle adds, according to my Gospel ; meaning not the Gospel of Luke, in which there is a clear account given of the resurrection of Christ, said to be written by him, at the instigation, and under the direction of the apostle, and published with his approbation, as some think; but the doctrine of the Gospel, and which he calls his, not because he was the author, or the subject of it; for in these respects it is the Gospel of God, and of Christ; but because it was committed to him, and he was intrusted with it, and fully and faithfully preached it; and in distinction from another Gospel, that of the false teachers; and agreeably to this doctrine, which the apostle everywhere taught, Christ was raised from the dead; so the Ethiopic version renders it, as I have taught.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - Let suffering saints remember, and look to Jesus, the Author an Finisher of their faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despised the shame, and is now set down at the righ hand of the throne of God. We must not think it strange if the best me meet with the worst treatment; but this is cheering, that the word of God is not bound. Here we see the real and true cause of the apostle' suffering trouble in, or for, the sake of the gospel. If we are dead to this world, its pleasures, profits, and honours, we shall be for eve with Christ in a better world. He is faithful to his threatenings, an faithful to his promises. This truth makes sure the unbeliever' condemnation, and the believer's salvation.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
8. Remember that Jesus Christ - was raised, etc. Incorrect. Rend. remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead. Mnhmoneue remember, only here in Pastorals: often in Paul. Egeirein to raise, very often in N.T., but only here in Pastorals. The perfect passive participle (eghgermenon) only here. The perfect marks the permanent condition - raised and still living. Of the seed of David. Not referring to Christ's human descent as a humiliation in contrast with his victory over death (eghgermenon), but only marking his human, visible nature along with his glorified nature, and indicating that in both aspects he is exalted and glorified. See the parallel in Rom. i. 3, 4, which the writer probably had in mind, and was perhaps trying to imitate. It is supposed by some that the words Jesus Christ - seed of David were a part of a confessional formula.
According to my gospel. Comp. Rom. ii. 16; xvi. 25, and see 1 Corinthians xv. 1; 2 Galatians. xi. 7; Gal. i. 11; ii. 2; 1 Tim. i. 11.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:8 {Risen from the dead} (egegermenon ek nekrwn). Perfect passive participle of egeirw, still risen as the perfect tense shows in #1Co 15:4,12-20. Predicate accusative. "Remember Jesus Christ as risen from the dead." this is the cardinal fact about Christ that proves his claim to be the Messiah, the Son of God. Christ is central for Paul here as in #Php 2:5-11. {Of the seed of David} (ek spermatos daueid). The humanity of Christ as in #Ro 1:3; Php 2:7f. {According to my gospel} (kata to euaggelion mou). Paul's very phrase in #Ro 2:16; 16:25. Not a written gospel, but my message. See also #1Co 15:1; 2Co 11:7; Ga 1:11; 2:2; 1Ti 1:11.
