SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:10
Por tanto, todo lo sufro por amor de los escogidos, para que ellos tambin consigan la salud que es en el Cristo Jess con gloria eterna.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:10
Verse 10. For the elect's sake] For the sake of the Gentiles, elected by God's goodness to enjoy every privilege formerly possessed by the Jews, and, in addition to these, all the blessings of the Gospel; the salvation of Christ here, and eternal glory hereafter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Therefore I endure all things for the elects' sakes , etc.] There is a certain number of persons whom God has chosen in Christ from everlasting unto salvation, who shall certainly be saved; for these Jesus Christ suffered and died; and on their account is the Gospel sent, preached, and published to the world; for their sakes are ministers fitted and qualified for their work, and have their mission and commission to perform it, and suffer what they do in the execution of it; and since it was for the sake of such, whom God had loved and chosen, that the apostle endured all his reproaches, afflictions, and persecutions, he was the more cheerful under them; and the consideration of it was a support unto him: that they may also obtain ; as well as himself, and other chosen vessels of salvation, who were called by grace already; for the apostle is speaking of such of the elect, who were, as yet, in a state of nature: the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory; salvation is only by Christ Jesus, and in him; and this is only for the elect of God; and it is published in the Gospel, that they might obtain it; and in all ages they do obtain it, or enjoy it: the thing itself is obtained by Christ for them, through his obedience, sufferings, and death; and it is published in the everlasting Gospel, that they might come to the knowledge of it; and in the effectual calling it is brought near by the Spirit of God, and applied unto them; and they have now both a meetness for it, and a right unto it, and shall fully enjoy it in heaven; for it has eternal glory, or heavenly glory, as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read, annexed to it; or rather the full enjoyment of it will consist in an eternal and heavenly glory, which will be put upon the saints, both in soul and body, and remain to all eternity.
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.
