In which I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 2:9 Go To 2 Timothy 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
But now God has made us such that nothing can subdue us. For our hands are bound but not our tongue, since nothing can bind the tongue but cowardice and unbelief. Where these are not, though you fasten chains upon us, the preaching of the gospel is not bound.
