提摩太後書 2:1 RCUVTS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1-18

SECTION 2. Paul Exhorts Timothy To Be A Good And Faithful ‘Workman’ And To Remember Jesus Christ, Risen From The Dead And Of The Seed of David, Who Has Obtained Salvation For His Own (2 Timothy 2:1-18 ). In this passage Paul now seeks to bolster Timothy’s faith and courage, pointing him to his hidden resources, and calling on him to serve faithfully and truly, remembering the One Whom they proclaim. At the same time he must remember that Paul himself suffers as his commitment to Christ... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1-13

( d) 2 Timothy 2:1-1 Chronicles : . The Appeal Renewed.— Thus enriched in his ordination, challenged by Paul’ s example, and warned by the Asian defection, Timothy, for all his work, must find continual strength in his Divine equipment. He must ( a) conserve the truth by depositing it with trustworthy teachers ( 2 Timothy 2:2), and ( b) face the hardships involved in his present administration ( 2 Timothy 2:3). In every sphere success demands endurance and self-discipline. This is true in ... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 2:1

The sense is either: Show thyself a stout and valiant man, not being affrighted at the dangers that threaten thee in the publishing and defence of the gospel which brings the glad tidings of the grace of Jesus Christ: or: Be thou strong through the gracious influence of Christ Jesus, without which thou canst do nothing. read more

DISCOURSE: 2244STRENGTH IN THE GRACE OF CHRIST2 Timothy 2:1. My son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.HOW shall it be that all of us, who are assembled here this day, should ever get to heaven, so weak as we are, and so corrupt, and in the midst of so many and great dangers? I look back to the Apostle’s days; and find, that when he was in prison at Rome, “all the converts that were of Asia, turned away from him;” but that one pious man, “Onesiphorus, sought him out with great... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:1-26

Chapter 2Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace ( 2 Timothy 2:1 )You see, it is legalism that is threatening the church. This idea that you can work yourself into divine favor. So "be strong in the grace"that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also ( 2 Timothy 2:1-2 ).And so this is how the Gospel is spread. As Paul said, Now you remember the things that I said and I... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Timothy 2:1-26

2 Timothy 2:1-2 . Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Be strong in the Lord, and in every virtue. This is chiefly repeated from Ephesians 6:10-14. 2 Timothy 2:3 . Endure hardness, or hardships, as we now say, as a good soldier; who in camps, fatigues, and wars, often incur dysenteries by hardships and over exertion. The effeminate minister should read and study these dying words of Paul. Certainly he never aimed that Timothy should affect the fine gentleman. Christ has... read more
