2 Timothy 1:10 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:6-14

Here is an exhortation and excitation of Timothy to his duty (2 Tim. 1:6): I put thee in remembrance. The best men need remembrancers; what we know we should be reminded of. 2 Pet. 3:1; I write this, to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance. I. He exhorts him to stir up the gift of God that was in him. Stir it up as fire under the embers. It is meant of all the gifts and graces the God had given him, to qualify him for the work of an evangelist, the gifts of the Holy Ghost, the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 2 Timothy 1:8-11

1:8-11 So, then, do not be ashamed to bear your witness to our Lord; and do not be ashamed of me his prisoner; but accept with me the suffering which the gospel brings, and do so in the power of God, who saved us, and who called us with a call to consecration, a call which had nothing to do with our own achievements, but which was dependent solely on his purpose, and on the grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus: and all this was planned before the world began, but now it stands... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 2 Timothy 1:8-11

(iv) It is the gospel of grace. It is not something which we achieve, but something which we accept. God did not call us because we are holy; he called us to make us holy. If we had to deserve the love of God, our situation would be helpless and hopeless. The gospel is the free gift of God. He does not love us because we deserve his love; he loves us out of the sheer generosity of his heart. (v) It is the gospel of God's eternal purpose. It was planned before time began. We must never think... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:10

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ ,.... The grace according to which the elect of God are saved and called; though it was given to them in Christ, before the world was, yet lay hid in the heart of God; in his thoughts, council and covenant; and in Jesus Christ; and in the types, shadows, sacrifices, prophecies, and promises of the Old Testament; but is now made manifest in the clearness, freeness, and abundance of it by the appearance of Christ, as a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:10

But is now made manifest - This purpose of God to save the Gentiles as well as the Jews, and call them to the same state of salvation by Jesus Christ, was, previously to the manifestation of Christ, generally hidden; and what was revealed of it, was only through the means of types and ceremonies. Who hath abolished death - Καταργησαντος μεν τον θανατον . Who has counterworked death; operated against his operations, destroyed his batteries, undersunk and destroyed his mines, and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:10

Verse 10 10But hath now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ Observe how appropriately he connects the faith which we have from the gospel within God’s secret election, and assigns to each of them its own place. God has now called us by the gospel, not because he has suddenly taken counsel about our salvation, but because he had so determined from all eternity. Christ hath now “appeared” (145) for our salvation, not because the power of saving has been recently bestowed on... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-14

Address and salutation. "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord." The language is similar to what is found in other of Paul's Epistles. The peculiarity is that his apostleship is here associated with the promise of the gospel, which like a rainbow spans our sky in this dark world. It is the promise by preeminence;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:8-18

Constancy in the hour of danger. There are great differences of natural temperament in different men. There are those whose courage is naturally high. Their instinct is to brave danger, and to be confident of overcoming it. They do not know what nervousness, or sinking of heart, or the devices of timidity, mean. Others are of a wholly different temperament. The approach of danger unnerves them. Their instinct is to avoid, not to overcome, danger; to shrink from suffering, not to confront... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:9-11

The power of God in the salvation manifested by Jesus Christ to the world. He now proceeds to expound in a glorious sentence the origin, conditions, manifestations of the salvation provided in the gospel. I. THE MANNER IN WHICH THE POWER OF GOD HAS BEEN DISPLAYED TOWARD US . "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began." ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:10

Hath now been manifested for is now made manifest, A.V.; Christ Jesus for Jesus Christ, A.V.; abolished for hath abolished, A.V.; brought for hath brought, A.V.; incorruption for immortality, A.V. Hath now been manifested ( φανερωθεῖσαν ); a word of very frequent use by St. Paul. The same contrast between the long time during which God's gracious purpose lay hidden, and the present time when it was brought to light by the gospel, which is contained in this passage, is forcibly dwelt upon... read more
