2 Timothy 1:6-8 Part 3 of 3

For this reason I remind you to fan into the flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.  

So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord 
2 Timothy 1:12  That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
2 Timothy 1:16  May the Lord show mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains. 
Mark 8:38  "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

or of me his prisoner

Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God
