2Ti 3:10. Σὺ δὲ, but thou) An antithesis: so again after new descriptions of evils, 2Ti 3:14, ch. 2Ti 4:5.-παρηκολούθηκας, thou hast followed out) [fully followed up, traced out and known]. Timothy became the companion of Paul after the persecutions mentioned in this place, Act 13:50; Act 14:5; Act 14:19; Act 16:3. This is therefore a well chosen word to employ here, as in Luk 1:3. So Antiochus concerning his son: “I am persuaded that he, understanding my mind (παρακολουθοῦντα, following up my mode of thinking); 2Ma 9:27.-τῇ ἀγωγῇ) ἀγωγὴ, mode of life, Fr. conduite.-τῇ προθέσει, purpose) His purpose for the future follows close after his (present) mode of life; comp. Act 11:23, note; and long-suffering follows close after faith, as in Heb 6:12 : patience follows close after love, as in 2Th 3:5.
