This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2 TIMOTHY CHAPTER 2
2Ti_2:1-14 Timothy is exhorted to constancy and perseverance in
the discharge of his duty, as a good soldier of
Christ, looking for a certain reward of his fatigues
and sufferings.
2Ti_2:15,16 to divide the word of truth rightly, and to shun
profane and vain babblings.
2Ti_2:17,18 The dangerous error of Hymenaeus and Philetus.
2Ti_2:19 The foundation of God standeth sure.
2Ti_2:20,21 Of vessels honourable and dishonourable.
2Ti_2:22-26 Timothy is taught what to flee, and what to follow,
and how the servant of Christ must behave toward all men.
The sense is either: Show thyself a stout and valiant man, not being affrighted at the dangers that threaten thee in the publishing and defence of the gospel which brings the glad tidings of the grace of Jesus Christ: or: Be thou strong through the gracious influence of Christ Jesus, without which thou canst do nothing.
