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.

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.

When Moses pressed the observance of the law, he added, It is not a vain (or light) thing for you, “because... read more

2 Timothy 1:12I also suffer these things.Pride in the profane causeth good men to suffer for well-doingThe Pharisees were zealous for the law and ceremonies, and Paul preached the gospel, called them beggarly and impotent rudiments; told that if they were circumcised Christ profited them nothing. Why, this so took down the pride of man, that he should not be justified by his own works, but by another’s, that Paul was persecuted, and hardly intreated of his own countrymen. If a skilful tailor... read more

Ver. 12. I know whom I have trusted ] Here was not a faint hope, or a conjectural confidence, but a plerophory of faith.

12. For the which cause For this divine and eternal purpose and salvation of 2 Timothy 1:9-11. Suffer… not ashamed As he had charged Timothy, 2 Timothy 1:8, to be not ashamed either of the cause or its apostle. For this suffer had a terrible garb of ignominy about it. The chain, the base soldier, the surrounding crowd of malefactors, the scorn of the Roman world, and the withdrawal of even professing Christians, were almost overwhelming loads of shame. Hence our apostle is... read more
