Here the creation of all things, which is there mentioned, is taken for granted. Part of the hymn is expressed, the whole hymn is implied. The power of God quickens (gives life to) thee also, O Timothy, in the discharge of thy duty, and will raise thee up to everlasting life.-τοῦ μαρτυρήσαντος, who witnessed) The confession of Christ quickens [gives life to] all confessions (professions, 1Ti 6:12). To witness a confession was the part of the Lord; to confess a confession (profession, 1Ti 6:12) belonged to Timothy.-ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου, before Pontius Pilate) A well-known chronological era.-τὴν) that which all Christians know was made by Him, viz. that concerning His kingdom, 1Ti 6:15.
