2 Timothy 4:22

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Timothy 4:19-22

2 Timothy 4:19-22. Salute Prisca This word is a contraction of the name Priscilla; or, as Estius supposes, Priscilla may be the diminutive of Prisca. Erastus abode at Corinth When I came from thence, being chamberlain of the city, Romans 16:23. He is likewise mentioned, Acts 19:22, as one who administered to Paul.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:6-22

4:6-22 PAUL’S LAST FAREWELLKnowing that he has faithfully carried out the work God entrusted to him, Paul faces execution with confidence.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:22

The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you."This is Paul's own prayer-wish for Timothy; they are the great apostles' last words that came down to us through history."[31] What sadness fills our hearts as we contemplate the termination of so fine and great a life!

2 Timothy 4:2 Observe, he puts longsuffering before doctrine, and that because nothing except patience answers with those who are hard to win. Patience enables us to possess not only our own souls but those of others also.
