2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 2New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

-
the word of God is not bound: Paul has just mentioned that he is being treated “as a criminal.” He uses the same word that described the men—or criminals—who were executed next to Jesus. (Lu 23:32, 33, 39) Now, though, Paul highlights a vivid contrast. He may be bound and imprisoned, but no prison or chains can restrict the word of God. (2Ti 1:8, 16) According to one reference work, Paul is saying regarding the opponents of the good news: “They may stop the messenger, but they cannot stop the message.”
