Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Timothy 1:15-18

2 Timothy 1:15-18. This thou knowest Of this thou hast received information; that all they which are in Asia He appears to mean those of Asia who were known to him by a profession of Christianity, and who had attended him at Rome for a while; are turned away from me And have proved treacherous friends, after all their forward pretences. See on chap. 2 Timothy 4:16. “What! turned away from Paul, the aged, the faithful soldier, and now prisoner of Christ! This was a glorious trial, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-18

1:1-2:13 ENCOURAGEMENT TO TIMOTHYNeed for courage and faithfulness (1:1-18)Paul recalls the time when he left Timothy behind in Ephesus, and remembers how Timothy wept as they parted. He longs to see him again (1:1-4). No doubt the quality of Timothy’s faith, which so attracted Paul to him, was largely the result of a godly upbringing by those of sincere faith (5). At the beginning of Timothy’s ministry Paul had shown publicly that he believed Timothy to be divinely gifted for his work. He... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:16

The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found meThe house of Onesiphorus ... This plea that the Lord would grant mercy to this man's house seems to imply that mercy had not been granted to Onesiphorus; and, from this, many have speculated that he had already been put to death, but there is no way to be certain about this. It is just as possible that Onesiphorus, like the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 1:16

16. The Lord give mercy—even as ONESIPHORUS had abounded in works of mercy. the house of Onesiphorus—He himself was then absent from Ephesus, which accounts for the form of expression (2 Timothy 4:19). His household would hardly retain his name after the master was dead, as BENGEL supposes him to have been. Nowhere has Paul prayers for the dead, which is fatal to the theory, favored by ALFORD also, that he was dead. God blesses not only the righteous man himself, but all his household. my... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Timothy 1:16-18

Some have suggested that Onesiphorus (lit. help-bringer) may have been dead when Paul wrote this epistle since Paul spoke only of his household. But that seems unlikely to me in view of 2 Timothy 1:18."In the Apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla, Onesiphorus is spoken of as a convert of Paul’s who gave him hospitality on his first visit to Iconium." [Note: Guthrie, p. 135] Onesiphorus’ household was an exception to the "all" above (2 Timothy 1:15), or perhaps they had felt differently and had... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Timothy 1:16

(16) The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus.—In striking contrast to those false friends who turned away from him was one, also well known to Timothy, probably an Ephesian merchant. Onesiphorus, to whose house the Apostle prays the Lord to give mercy, had, early in this last imprisonment of St. Paul, arrived in Rome on matters connected probably with business. There he heard of the arrest of that great master whom he had known well in Asia, and sought him out in his prison. There is... read more
