This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This Timothy Paul found at Lystra, Act_16:1. His father was a Greek, his mother a Jewess, therefore Paul circumcised him; her name was Eunice, the daughter of Lois, 2Ti_1:5. Paul took him along with him in his travels. He was ordained by the imposition of the hands of the presbytery, 1Ti_4:14 2Ti_1:6. Paul calls him his beloved son, either because he was his spiritual son, or because he was by him instructed in the gospel: he calls him his own son in the faith, 1Ti_1:2.
Faithful in the Lord, because he was faithful in the work of the Lord, in the business of the ministry.
Who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church; he (saith the apostle) shall bring to your remembrance my ways in the Lord, he shall acquaint you with both what doctrine I have preached and what course of life I have lived; how I have preached to every church, what rules I have given for the ordering of every church, and how I have walked before and toward them.
