### Remember Jesus Christ... of the offspring of David
*Type*: fulfillment
*Summary*: Paul identifies Jesus as the biological and legal descendant of King David, fulfilling the covenant promise that the Messiah would come from David's line.
*Historical context*: This refers to the Davidic Covenant found in [[2 Sam-07#v12|2 Samuel 7:12]]-16 and [[Isa-11#v1|Isaiah 11:1]], where God promised David that one of his descendants would establish an eternal kingdom. Genealogies in [[Matt|Matthew 1]] and [[Luke|Luke 3]] verify this lineage.
*Related to*: [[2 Sam-07#v12|2 Samuel 7:12]]-16
### Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead
*Type*: fulfillment
*Summary*: The resurrection of Jesus is cited as a completed historical event that fulfilled ancient prophetic expectations and Jesus's own claims.
*Historical context*: Theological scholars link this to [[Ps-16#v10|Psalm 16:10]] ('For you will not leave my soul in Sheol') and Jesus's specific predictions of His death and resurrection in [[Mark-08#v31|Mark 8:31]] and [[Matt-16#v21|Matthew 16:21]].
*Related to*: [[Ps-16#v10|Psalm 16:10]]
### If we endure, we will also reign with him.
*Type*: prophecy
*Summary*: A prophetic promise that those who persevere in faith through earthly trials will be granted positions of authority and co-regency with Christ in His future kingdom.
*Historical context*: This is viewed by eschatologists as a prediction of the Millennial Kingdom or the eternal state, later described in more detail in [[Rev-05#v10|Revelation 5:10]] and [[Rev-20#v4|Revelation 20:4]]-6, where the saints are seen reigning with Christ.
*Related to*:
### If we deny him, he also will deny us.
*Type*: prophecy
*Summary*: A prophetic warning regarding the final judgment, stating that those who reject or disown Christ will be disowned by Him before God.
*Historical context*: This prophecy aligns with the warnings given by Jesus in [[Matt-10#v33|Matthew 10:33]] and [[Luke-12#v9|Luke 12:9]], establishing a standard for divine judgment that transcends the immediate context of the early church.
*Related to*:
### For if we died with him, we will also live with him.
*Type*: prophecy
*Summary*: A prophetic assurance that believers who share in Christ's death (spiritually or through martyrdom) are guaranteed a future life and resurrection with Him.
*Historical context*: This reflects the 'already-not yet' eschatology of the New Testament, where the future resurrection of the body is a definitive prophetic hope for the believer, as detailed in [[1 Cor|1 Corinthians 15]].
