提摩太後書 2:1 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1-7

1-7 As our trials increase, we need to grow stronger in that which is good; our faith stronger, our resolution stronger, our love to God and Christ stronger. This is opposed to our being strong in our own strength. All Christians, but especially ministers, must be faithful to their Captain, and resolute in his cause. The great care of a Christian must be to please Christ. We are to strive to get the mastery of our lusts and corruptions, but we cannot expect the prize unless we observe the laws.... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-99

2Tim 2 THE FIRST VERSE of our chapter brings before us a third thing that is needful if the truth of God is to be maintained. A good deposit had been entrusted to Timothy. It had been conveyed to him by Paul in an outline of sound words, and was to be kept by the indwelling Holy Spirit, as 2Ti_1:13 , 2Ti_1:14 have told us. Now to have the truth enshrined in an outline of sound words is good, and yet no such outline can in itself keep the truth alive; for this the Holy Ghost is needed. Apart... read more

“A Good Soldier of Christ Jesus” 2 Timothy 2:1-9 Soldier , 2 Timothy 2:1-4 : There is grace enough in Jesus for every need, but we must avail ourselves of it. We can expect nothing less than hardship, since life is a battlefield. Our one aim should be to please Him who chose us to be soldiers. In order to be all that he would have us be, we must avoid entangling ourselves in the conditions around us. We must resemble a garrison in the town where it is quartered, and from which it may at any... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1-26

In order to fulfil the ideal revealed in the instructions, Timothy was charged to "be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus." The apostle employed three figures of speech, the soldier, the athlete, and the husbandman, as revealing the methods by which Timothy might be strengthened in grace. The ultimate command is, “Remember Jesus Christ." The apostle next referred to his own experiences again. Briefly, but vividly, he said, "I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor." Paul... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-26

The Christian's Titles 2 Timothy 2:1-26 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We will discuss the seven distinctive names under which Paul addressed his son in the faith. As a prelude to these seven names, it might be helpful to suggest seven titles of our Lord under which the titles given His children are made possible and forceful. There is a verse which says: "The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord." We will discuss the disciple, and servant; we will discuss the Lord, and... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1

STRENGTHENING GRACE‘Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.’ 2 Timothy 2:1 The Holy Spirit speaking through St. Paul does not say ‘be strong’ merely. That would only end in despair. It is not ‘Be strong,’ but ‘Be strong—be strengthened in the strength that is already freely given to thee.’ God has loved thee, God has baptized thee, God has marked thy forehead with His cross, God has laid His hands upon thee and made thy very body the temple of the Holy Ghost,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1

‘You therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace which is in Christ Jesus.’ Paul speaks to Timothy as basically ‘my dear son’ (‘my child’ is an affectionate term which can be used by an older person of someone below forty). And he calls on him to be empowered in the grace (unmerited favour) which is in Christ Jesus. Because Timothy is ‘in Christ Jesus’ all the resources of Christ Jesus (the suffering Saviour) are at his disposal, as Jesus promises to deal with him, not on the basis of His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1-7

Paul Encourages Timothy To Find His Strength In The Unmerited Favour And Compassion Of Christ And To Respond By Genuinely Obedient Service (2 Timothy 2:1-7 ). After first of all pointing out to Timothy his resources in Christ the emphasis in the first part of this passage is on being faithful, strong and enduring. For the very purpose of the provision of the resources by Christ is in order to enable an obedient response from His people. All the riches of the unmerited favour and compassion of... read more
