Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:1-5

Preach the Word constantly (3:10-4:5)Paul refers to his own experiences to illustrate the truth that the person who whole-heartedly follows God must expect persecution. Timothy was well aware of this, even before he joined Paul in his work. In his own neighbourhood he had seen Paul suffer because of his devotion to Christ (10-12; cf.

When a child of God fails away from the truth, there are no longer any hoops on the barrel; there is absolutely nothing too ridiculous or preposterous for him to receive. It is always the most bizarre and extreme cults that are able to seduce and proselyte Christians. read more

Paul explained the reason for this charge next. "They" are the people to whom Timothy and his followers would preach: his listeners. In the end time they would not tolerate the truth but would only listen to speakers who told them what they wanted to hear (false doctrine, entertainment, etc.; cf. 2 Timothy 3:6). Paul pictured people who would be bored by, apathetic to, and annoyed by sound doctrine."In other words, they have made themselves the measure of who should teach them and what teaching... read more
