提摩太後書 2:2-3 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-14

Endurance the lot of Christ's ministers. Continual endurance of evil, whether directed specially against himself, or generally thwarting the cause which he has most at heart, is the ordinary lot of the minister of Jesus Christ exercising his ministry in an evil world. And in order to be ready to encounter this evil, actively or passively, as the case may require, a complete concentration of purpose on the fulfilment of his ministry is absolutely required. If the heart is divided between... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:2

Which for that , A.V.; from for of, A.V. The things which thou hast heard, etc. Here we have distinctly enunciated the succession of apostolical doctrine through apostolical men. We have also set before us the partnership of the presbyterate, and, in a secondary degree, of the whole Church, with the apostles and bishops their successors, in preserving pure and unadulterated the faith once delivered to the saints. There can be little doubt that St. Paul is here alluding to Timothy's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:2

Admonition to Timothy respecting the appointment of faithful preachers. At such a period of unfaithfulness and timidity, it was necessary to provide for the continuous wants of the Church. I. THE TRUST TIMOTHY IS TO DELIVER TO FAITHFUL MEN . "The things which thou heardest from me among many witnesses." 1 . Timothy heard these things from the apostle at his ordination, but oftener still during his long missionary travels, when he would hear the apostle discourse... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:3

Suffer hardship with me for thou therefore endure hardness, A.V. and T.R.; Christ Jesus for Jesus Christ, A.V. and T.R. Suffer hardship with me ( συγκακοπάθησον ) , which is the reading "supported by the weightiest authorities" (Huther), as in 2 Timothy 1:8 . The simple form κακοπάθησον , which is the reading of the T.R., occurs also in 2 Timothy 1:9 of this chapter, in 2 Timothy 4:5 , and in James 5:13 , and κακοπαθεία in James 5:10 . Both these simple forms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:3

Culture of strength. "Endure hardness." We are all endangered by ease and self-indulgence. The soft south wind of worldly comfort enfeebles us. Dangerous, for to the soldier nerveless strength is death; and the great campaign requires on our part energy and courage all through. I. IT IS HARD TO SUBJUGATE THE PRESENT WORLD . In the fourth verse Paul speaks of the "affairs of this life," in which Timothy, like the rest of us, was in danger of" being entangled;" and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:3-7

The apostle bespeaks from Timothy a copartnership in affliction, which would have its due reward. I. THE DUTY OF SUFFERING HARDSHIP IN THE GOSPEL . "Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ." 1 . The minister is a soldier of Christ, enrolled by him, trained by him, armed by him, supported by him, as the Captain of our salvation. The ministry is a warfare, involving, not only the "good fight of faith," but an increasing struggle against false teachers. 2... read more

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

And the things which thou hast heard of me among many witnesses - Margin, “by.” Before, or in the presence of, many witnesses. Perhaps he refers to a solemn charge which he gave him, in the presence of the church, when he was ordained. It is by no means improbable that such a charge was given then to a newly ordained minister, as it is now. On such an occasion, the apostle would be likely to state a summary of Christian doctrine, - (compare the notes at 2 Timothy 1:13), - and to exhort Timothy... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 2:3

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ - Such hardships as a soldier is called to endure. The apostle supposes that a minister of the gospel might be called to endure hardships, and that it is reasonable that he should be as ready to do it as a soldier is. On the hardships which he endured himself, see the notes at 2 Corinthians 11:23-29. Soldiers often endure great privations. Taken from their homes and friends; exposed to cold, or heat, or storms, or fatiguing... read more

2 Timothy 2:3-7. Thou therefore endure hardness Κακοπαθησον , literally, endure evil; that is, expect persecutions and various sufferings, and, by the powerful aids of divine grace, endure them with courage, constancy, and patience; as a good soldier of Jesus Christ Who endured much greater afflictions in the days of his flesh, and hath thereby shown all who engage to fight under his banner, and would approve themselves his faithful soldiers, that they must expect to meet with various... read more
