2 Timothy 4:22

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:13-22

“The Lord Stood by Me” 2 Timothy 4:13-22 The winter was approaching, and the Apostle would be glad of his cloak amid the damp of the Mamertine prison. Evidently his arrest under Nero’s orders had been so sudden and peremptory that he was not allowed to go into his lodgings for this and other possessions, such as the books mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:13 . He had made his first appearance before Nero, and was expecting a further appearance to receive his sentence. But the Lord was with him, and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 4:1-22

As the result of these charges, the apostle shows what Timothy's attitude must be toward those over whom he has oversight. There are four things which he must do. "Preach the Word," "reprove," "rebuke," "exhort." The qualities of the Word which are of value in building personal character are to be used in carrying out relative responsibility. Then follow what are, in all probability, the last written words of Paul preserved to us. His position was that he was already "being offered." This was... read more

Final Explanations and Greetings (2 Timothy 4:19-22 ).

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:22

‘The Lord be with your spirit. Grace be with you.’ The final salute is in two parts, the first directed to Timothy, the second to the whole church. To Timothy he seeks to bring home the intimacy of his Lord with him. It is the Lord Himself Who is with his spirit, Christ in him. How then can he faint or fail? The greeting to the church wishes for them the unmerited favour and gracious working of a gracious God. With these words the Pauline letters are complete. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:9-22

2 Timothy 4:9-Song of Solomon : . Personal Requests and Personal News. Timothy’ s summons to Rome seems inconsistent with the discharge of the duties just enforced. If the letter is a unity, its main instructions may concern his conduct after, as well as before, his visit to Rome and Paul’ s death (Ramsay). For the significance of the historical allusions that follow, see Introduction, at end of § 1 . Others being absent on different missions, only Luke, of Paul’ s immediate circle, is now... read more

The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit; se the like, Galatians 6:18; Philemon 1:25. Grace be with you; the free grace of God, it its various emanations, suited to all your necessities, be with you. Amen. (The second epistle unto Timotheus, ordained the first Bishop of the church of the Ephesians, was written from Rome, when Paul was brought before Nero the second time.) read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:19-22

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—2 Timothy 4:19-22A Martyr’s Last Words—I. Breathe the spirit of love towards tried and faithful friends.—“Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus” (2 Timothy 4:19). How tenderly this salutation would be prized when the friends received intelligence of the apostle’s fate! Love is precious the more it is tested and tried. The heart is impoverished indeed that cannot find room for its best friends. Love reveals itself in words and deeds.II.... read more

Chapter 4Paul said to Timothy,I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ ( 2 Timothy 4:1 ),Hey, that's heavy duty, man, when you charge a person before God and before the Lord Jesus Christ.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Timothy 4:1-22

2 Timothy 4:1-2 . I charge thee therefore before God preach the word. Paul speaks here as a dying man, soon to appear before the throne of God and the Lamb. Soldiers must not sleep in war without a watch, nor must labourers be negligent in the time of harvest. A man of living faith and ardent charity cannot see souls perish, without using all the requisite means for their salvation. His sermons will be fervent in public worship; and out of season he will preach like Paul, in schools and... read more

2 Timothy 4:22The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.The highest wish of true friendshipI. Man has a spiritual nature. Spirit is something that is unlike matter--indivisible, self-active, self-conscious, religious. That man has a spirit is--1. A fact most demonstrable.2. A fact most practically ignored.3. A fact the most distinguishing--marking us off from all mundane existences.II. Man’s spiritual nature needs the companionship of Christ.1. Christ alone can centralise its affections.2.... read more
