This phrase connects to the preceding verses where Paul discusses his hardships and the gospel's power. It emphasizes the importance of having a clear purpose in ministry and life, rooted in the gospel message.I endure all things Paul's endurance is a testament to his commitment to the gospel. His sufferings include imprisonment, beatings, and persecution, as detailed in <a href="/2_corinthians/11-23.htm">2 Corinthians 11:23-28</a>. This endurance is a model for believers, showing the necessity of perseverance in the face of trials for the sake of Christ.for the sake of the elect The term "elect" refers to those chosen by God for salvation.

Salvation is a gift from God, achieved through faith in Jesus Christ, as seen in <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>. This phrase underscores the necessity of sharing the gospel so that others may come to faith.that is in Christ Jesus Salvation is found exclusively in Christ, as affirmed in <a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a> and <a href="/acts/4-12.htm">Acts 4:12</a>.

And this brave and steadfast endurance on the part of St. Paul contributed to the furtherance of God's projects for gathering these elect in this wise--(1) His endurance, his patient, gallant witness in suffering, would serve as an example to many, not only to the generation then living, but to countless men and women yet unborn; and (2) his faithful, true preaching, now that his voice was hushed, in such writings as this Epistle to Timothy, would help, through the ages to come, to draw countless others, in accordance with the divine counsels, into fellowship with Christ. The question has been often asked, whether those "elect" or whom the Apostle endured these things were, when he wrote these words, believers. This point has already been touched upon; it may, however, be here answered, with some certainty, that the "elect" here spoken of include both believers and unbelievers. The first--the believer--would in all ages be built up by the contemplation of the steadfastness under suffering of St. Paul; the second--the unbeliever--would be won to the faith by the divinely-inspired arguments and exhortations which the brave old man ceaselessly spoke or wrote down in prison just as when free. How could one like St. Paul, who was conscious that he himself had won the "salvation," not patiently endure all things, if such an endurance could help the elect to obtain that salvation which delivered those who obtained it from the misery of sin and death, and which besides--O blessed thought!--had the sure prospect of eternal glory?<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_timothy/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - Sake for sakes, A.V.; also may for may also, A.V. Therefore (διὰ τοῦτο); for this cause. Some (Wiesinger, Alford, etc.) refer this to what follows, viz. "that the elect may obtain the salvation," etc., after the model of <a href="/1_timothy/1-16.htm">1 Timothy 1:16</a> and <a href="/philemon/1-15.htm">Philemon 1:15</a>, where διὰ τοῦτο clearly refers to the words which follow. But the interposition of the words, διὰ τοὺς ἐκλεκτούς, is strongly adverse to this view. It seems, therefore, rather to refer collectively to all the considerations which he had just been urging upon Timothy, perhaps especially the last, of the resurrection of Christ, which he now again enforces by his own example of willing suffering in order that the elect may obtain the eternal salvation which is in Jesus Christ - adding, in vers. 11 and 12, the encouragement to suffering derived from the "faithful saying." I endure (ὑπομένω); the exact force of which is seen in the substantive ὑπομονή, patience, so frequently attributed to the suffering saints of God. <a href="/commentaries/2_timothy/2-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For this reason διὰ (dia) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_1223.htm">Strong's 1223: </a> A primary preposition denoting the channel of an act; through.
