2 Timotius 1:8

1:8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord ¹  or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by ²  God’s power accept your share of suffering ³  for the gospel.

2 Timotius 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ⁴  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ⁵  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ⁶  until that day. ⁷ 

2 Timotius 2:9

2:9 for which I suffer hardship to the point of imprisonment ⁸  as a criminal, but God’s message ⁹  is not imprisoned! ¹⁰ 

2 Timotius 3:11

3:11 as well as the persecutions and sufferings ¹¹  that happened to me in Antioch, ¹²  in Iconium, and in Lystra. ¹³  I endured these persecutions and the Lord delivered me from them all.

The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

[1:12]  ⁷ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
