This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Ver. 9. From here to the end of the chapter a few notices are given by the apostle of his own condition and prospects, also of some of his companions in the gospel, with the free expression of his feelings and desires in respect to them. Do thy endeavour to come to me quickly. An earnest desire had already been expressed for Timothy’s coming (2Ti_1:4), and now there is the command to hasten it forward: óðïýäáóïí , do it promptly and diligently, lose no time about it. The apostle seemed to have no doubt whatever in his mind as to Timothy’s willingness to come: he could thoroughly count on his affectionate fidelity, even while others were falling away from him; which surely implies that nothing had yet occurred to shake the apostle’s confidence in the hearty and stedfast devotedness of his disciple.
