提摩太后书 1:14-15 RCUVSS

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:15

Verse 15 15Thou knowest that all that are in Asia have forsaken me Those apostasies which he mentions might have shaken the hearts of many, and given rise, at the same time, to many suspicions; as we commonly look at everything in the worst light. Paul meets scandals of this kind with courage and heroism, that all good men may learn to abhor the treachery of those who had thus deserted the servant of Christ, when he alone, at the peril of his life, was upholding the common cause; and that they... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-14

Address and salutation. "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord." The language is similar to what is found in other of Paul's Epistles. The peculiarity is that his apostleship is here associated with the promise of the gospel, which like a rainbow spans our sky in this dark world. It is the promise by preeminence;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:8-18

Constancy in the hour of danger. There are great differences of natural temperament in different men. There are those whose courage is naturally high. Their instinct is to brave danger, and to be confident of overcoming it. They do not know what nervousness, or sinking of heart, or the devices of timidity, mean. Others are of a wholly different temperament. The approach of danger unnerves them. Their instinct is to avoid, not to overcome, danger; to shrink from suffering, not to confront... read more

Guard for keep, A.V.; through for by, A.V. That good thing ( τὴν καλὴν παραθήκην , R.T., for παρακαταθήκην ); see 1 Timothy 6:20 , and note. This naturally follows the preceding verse. Faithfulness in maintaining the faith was closely connected with the maintenance of sound words. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:14

The importance of preserving the precious deposit of doctrine. I. THERE IS A SYSTEM OF TRUTH DEPOSITED IN THE HANDS OF THE CHURCH . "That good deposit keep through the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us." 1 . The truth is not discovered by the Church, but deposited in its keeping. This is the significance of the words of Jude, when he speaks of "the faith once delivered to the saints." That is II. IT IS THE DUTY OF MINISTERS AND MEMBERS OF ... read more

That are for they which are, A.V.; turned for be turned , A.V.; Phygelus for Phygellus, A.V. and T.R. Turned away from ( ἀπεστράφησάν με ). This verb is used, as here, governing an accusative of the person or thing turned away from, in Titus 1:14 ; Hebrews 12:25 , as frequently in classical Greek. The use of the aorist here is important, as St. Paul does not mean to say that the Churches of Asia had all forsaken him, which was not true, and which it would be absurd to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:15

The Asiatic desertion of the apostle. He reminds Timothy of a fact well known to him already, that he had suffered from a melancholy desertion of friends. I. THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HIS LOSS . "All who are in Asia turned away from me." 1 . As to its nature. It was not a repudiation of Christianity. It was a desertion of the apostle himself, either through fear of persecution, or through a repudiation of his catholic ideas on behalf of the Gentiles. The Christian... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:15-18

Contrasts. I. PHYGELUS AND HERMOGENES . "This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes." The defection here referred to was from Paul and his interests. It extended to all that were in Asia, i.e. all Asiatics who at one time had been attached to the apostle, and whose attachment was put to the test when in Rome during his imprisonment. It was to have been expected of them that they would have found their way to his dungeon;... read more

That good thing which was committed unto thee; - see the notes at 1 Timothy 6:20. The reference here in the phrase, “that good thing committed to thee,” is to the sound Christian doctrine with which he had been intrusted, and which he was required to transmit to others.Keep by the Holy Ghost - By the aid of the Holy Spirit. One of the best methods of preserving the knowledge and the love of truth is to cherish the influences of the Holy Spirit. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 1:15

This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me - That is, in that part of Asia Minor of which Ephesus was the capital. The name Asia was often given particularly to that part of Asia Minor; see the notes at Acts 2:9; Acts 16:6. This passage proves that Timothy was somewhere in that region when this Epistle was written to him, for otherwise he could not be supposed to Know what is here said. When Paul says that “all” were turned away from him, he must use the word in a... read more
