2 Timothy 1:9

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:6-11

2 Timothy 1:6 to 2 Timothy 2:13 . Appeal to Timothy for Courage in Face of Difficulties.( a) 2 Timothy 1:6-1 Kings : . Direct Appeal, based on Timothy’ s Ordination Gift.— The false teachers have created a situation demanding courageous treatment. Timothy has not failed (the Greek tense in 2 Timothy 1:8 implies “ do not begin to be ashamed” ), but he plainly needs enheartening. Paul appeals for strong action on three grounds. The first is the character implied in Timothy’ s ordination gift.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 1:9

Who hath saved us; that is, brought us into a state of salvation, and given us a right to it. And called us with an holy calling; and, in order to our obtaining it, hath effectually called, renewed, and sanctified us. Not according to our works; not for any merits of ours. But according to his own purpose and grace; but from his own free love purposing and decreeing eternal salvation to us, with the means adequate to it. Which was given us in Christ Jesus; to be obtained through the merits and... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-18

Shall we turn now to second Timothy? This is the last epistle that Paul wrote. He is again in prison in Rome. It would seem that he was released from the first imprisonment and allowed a little more time of liberty to preach the Gospel. And putting together from the various epistles and from the book of Acts, it would seem that he went to Miletus and then on over to Corinth and to Troas, probably to Ephesus, and then on back where he was arrested and taken back to Rome.Paul realizes that the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Timothy 1:1-18

2 Timothy 1:1 . Paul according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus. On this promise of eternal life the whole system of revelation is built; for this cause Paul was made an apostle, that he might preach this hope to a benighted world. This eternal life, now confirmed by Christ, was promised from the foundation of the world. Genesis 17:7. Leviticus 18:5. Deuteronomy 31:16. When Moses pressed the observance of the law, he added, It is not a vain (or light) thing for you, “because... read more

We may, in the first place, inquire wherein this heavenly and holy calling is, or what such are represented in scripture as called to.1. They are called, in the first place, it is said, “out of darkness into marvellous light.”2. And then they are said, again, to be “called to the obtaining of the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.” But then they are called to the knowledge of Jesus as... read more
