提摩太後書 2:13 CUNPTS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 2:13

If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful; whether we believe or believe not, or whether we be faithful to our trust or be not, yet God will show himself faithful, either to his promises made to them that believe, or to his threatenings denounced against those that believe not. He cannot deny himself; for it is impossible that he who is truth titself should be otherwise, that were for him to deny himself. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Timothy 2:8-13

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES2 Timothy 2:9. I suffer trouble.—R.V. “hardship.” As an evil-doer.—He is treated as one would be whose whole aim was to do evil—a constant menace to society. Unto bonds.—“Up to the point of bonds.” The indignity of the imprisonment was keenly felt by St. Paul, as well as bodily discomfort. But the word of God is not bound.—Chrysostom explains, “My hands are bound, but not my tongue.” A better contrast is between the messenger and the message. They have bound the... read more

DISCOURSE: 2247THE EQUITY OF GOD’S PROCEDURE2 Timothy 2:11-14. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. Of these things put them in remembrance.STRANGE as it may seem, it is no uncommon thing for men to arraign the equity of God, and to accuse him of undue severity in the execution of his judgments. The... 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

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

If we believe not ] See Trapp on " Rom 3:3 " Some sense it thus: though we prove perfidious, yet he is no loser by us, as having all within himself. Howbeit hereby we show that we have no interest in Christ; for he cannot deny himself, though we can deny him. read more
