This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2Ti 1:6. Δἰ ἣν αἰτίαν, for which cause) namely, because I have been reminded, ὑπεμνήσθην [referring to 2Ti 1:5, ὑπόμνησιν λαμβάνων].-ἀναμιμνήσκω, I put thee in remembrance) Being reminded himself, he puts others [sc. Timothy] in mind.-ἀναζωπυρεῖν) to stir up. The same word occurs, Gen 45:27, 1Ma 13:7 : ζωπυρίω, of raising the dead, 2Ki 8:1; 2Ki 8:5. The opposite σβεννύειν, to extinguish; Mat 25:8; 1Th 5:19. Timothy, being long without Paul, seems to have become somewhat remiss; comp. note to ch. 2Ti 2:22 : at least he is now stirred up to greater exertions.-τὸ χάρισμα, the gift) which is joined with faith, 2Ti 1:5 : and is energetic and lively, 2Ti 1:7.
