This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





There was a great brotherly love amongst primitive Christians, so as the apostle often expresseth his desire to see such Christians as were at a distance from him, Rom_1:11 1Th_2:17; but he expresseth aparticular reason of his desire to see Timothy, remembering the



tears he shed at his parting from him and the rest, Act_20:37,38; besides the desire he had by his presence to satisfy him, and give him occasion of joy, with which he also should be filled; unless he speaketh of the joy he promised himself when he saw Timothy, upon his seeing the improvement he had made both of his graces and gifts in the ministerial office.
