2Ti 2:8. Μνημόνευε) remember, so that thou mayest follow. Paul, as usual, quickens (gives life to) his own example by the example of Christ.-ἐγηγερμένον ἐκ νεκρῶν) An abbreviated expression, i.e. Who died and was raised from the dead; so we [if we are to share His resurrection, must share His death], 2Ti 2:11. Κατὰ, according to, depends on these words.-ἐκ σπέρματος Δαυὶδ, of the seed of David) He wishes Timothy to attend to this one genealogy [as opposed to the other ‘genealogies,’ 1Ti 1:4], which serves as a proof that Jesus is the Christ.
