2 Timothy 2:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 Again, the farmer who does the hard work should have the first claim on the crops. 7 Think about what I am saying, for the Lord will help you to understand it perfectly.
Remember That Jesus Christ Is Risen.[a] 8 Remember the gospel that I preach: Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, was raised from the dead.

- 2 Timothy 2:8 Another heading for this section would read “Be a memorial of Jesus Christ,” i.e., be a person whose whole being and action recalls the Resurrection of Christ and renders it present to those he meets, while announcing to them that its fullness will take place at the time of the Lord’s return. This is the finest picture one could give of the life of Paul.
Verses 11b-13 are probably from a baptismal hymn; to be baptized meant that one should live out, throughout one’s days, the mystery of Christ’s Death and Resurrection (see Rom 6:8; 1 Cor 15:31; Gal 6:14; Phil 3:10; Col 3:3-5).
