This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ti 1:10. Φανερωθεῖσαν, manifested) Those remarkable words, τῆς ἐπιφανείας, the appearing, and φωτίσαντος, bringing to light, agree with this expression.-ἐπιφανείας, appearing) in the flesh. It does not merely mean here the very act of His coming, but the whole time of the abode of Christ among men.-τὸν θάνατον, death) The article is used here emphatically and designedly. Paul in this passage, as it were, directly abolishes death. Hence the soldier of Christ ought now no longer to fear death.-φωτίσαντος, bringing to light [exposing to the light]) An abbreviated expression: implying, and has procured for us (that should be supplied from the antithetic word καταργήσαντος, who has abolished) and has brought to light by the Gospel; comp. Eph 2:17.-ζωὴν καὶ ἀφθαρσίαν) A Hendiadys.-διὰ τοῦ) Schoettgenius construes this with καλέσαντος, 2Ti 1:9. We may construe thus: φανερωθεῖσαν διὰ τῆς-(καὶ) διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, made manifest by His appearing-(and) by the Gospel.
