F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:1-12

The Victor’s Final Charge 2 Timothy 4:1-12 To the end Paul held to the appearing of Jesus, though he might not live to see it; and it was to precede and usher in the coming of the Kingdom. The world of that time was sad and sick, and Paul’s sole panacea was the preaching of the gospel. 2 Timothy 4:2 , do not only take opportunities, but make them. 2 Timothy 4:3 , make haste; such opportunities are closing in. Sound throughout these Pastoral Epistles means “healthy” and “health-giving.” Note... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 4:1-22

As the result of these charges, the apostle shows what Timothy's attitude must be toward those over whom he has oversight. There are four things which he must do. "Preach the Word," "reprove," "rebuke," "exhort." The qualities of the Word which are of value in building personal character are to be used in carrying out relative responsibility. Then follow what are, in all probability, the last written words of Paul preserved to us. His position was that he was already "being offered." This was... read more

Our Guide among the Wreckage 2 Timothy 1:3-5 ; 2 Timothy 2:15-17 ; 2 Timothy 3:14-15 ; 2 Timothy 4:1-2 ; 2 Timothy 4:16-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS One of the outstanding marks of spirituality is soundness of mind, soundness in wisdom, in words, in doctrine, in faith. There are some people who are forever mocking Christianity with the words that, "So and so went crazy on religion." It is not true. People may go crazy when they turn aside to fads and fancies and fanaticism, but not when they... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:1-8

Life's Backward and Forward Look 2 Timothy 4:1-8 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. There is a time when we should not look backward. (1) We should not look back with a heart of longing after the fleshpots of Egypt. The Children of Israel had received from the Lord a great deliverance. They had been led forth with a mighty hand. They had been snatched away from the cruel whip of the taskmaster. At first their hearts were filled with joy and gladness. When, however, they met difficulties in their... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 4:1-2

PREACH THE WORD!‘I charge thee … before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who shall judge the quick and the dead … preach the Word.’ 2 Timothy 4:1-Exodus : You remember the context. St. Paul is near his last hour. He is dictating what is for us his dying letter, and he is close to that letter’s end. He is writing to a man whom he has delegated, now for some time, to a large work of organisation and of order. Timotheus was to do many things; but he was supremely to do this thing, to preach the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:1-8

SECTION 4. Paul’s Final Charge (2 Timothy 4:1-8 ). In some ways this could be seen as a final charge which sealed all that Paul had taught in his letters. For Paul now places on Timothy’s shoulders the responsibility to take over where he was leaving off, and teach what he has taught, the word of the truth of the Gospel. He knows that his time has come, and Timothy must therefore now recognise, along with others, that under God the future rests with him. He therefore charges him in the most... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:2

‘Preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.’ And what is the charge? It is that he preach ‘the word’, that is, the word of the truth of the Gospel, as evidenced in the Scriptures. He is to do it constantly, both when the time appears to be right, and when it does not, and when men are listening and when they are not. As mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:16 he is to use the Scriptures in order to reprove men and women when they err... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:3-4

‘For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts, and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.’ For a time is coming when ‘they’ (those who veer from the truth - 1 Timothy 1:6, 22; 1 Timothy 6:3-5; 1 Timothy 6:20 - and those who listen to them - 1 Timothy 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 1:19; 1 Timothy 4:1; 1 Timothy 6:21) will not be able to bear sound teaching. They will have ears... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 4:1-8

( c) 2 Timothy 4:1-Ruth : . Timothy’ s Duty in the Crisis.— Threatened with such opposition ( 2 Timothy 3:1-1 Samuel :) and strengthened by such safeguards ( 2 Timothy 3:10-Esther :), Timothy must persistently teach the positive truth. He should be ready to reprove error and proclaim the gospel, whether the occasion seem propitious or not ( 2 Timothy 4:2). For Church members as well as false teachers will cause trouble. Anxious for novelty and “ piling up” congenial instructors, they will... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 4:2

Preach; proclaim like a herald, cry like a common crier in the hearing of a multitude. Thus God to Isaiah, Isaiah 58:1; Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet. The word; the word of truth, Isaiah 2:15, or the gospel, called the word by way of emphasis: see Matthew 4:23; Matthew 24:14; Mark 1:14; Mark 13:10; Mark 16:15. The word of God, not old wives’ fables, endless genealogies, perverse disputings, unedifying questions, &c. This precept reflects upon unpreaching ministers,... read more
