2 Timothy 1:10-12

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

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 2 Timothy 1:12-14

1:12-14 And that is the reason why I am going through these things I am going through. But I am not ashamed, for I know him in whom my belief is fixed, and I am quite certain that he is able to keep safe what I have entrusted to him until the last day comes. Hold fast the pattern of health-giving words you have received from me, never slackening in that faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard the fine trust that has been given to you through the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. This... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 2 Timothy 1:12-14

But there is another side to this matter of trust; there is another paratheke ( Greek #3866 ). Paul urges Timothy to safeguard and keep inviolate the trust God has reposed in him. Not only do we put our trust in God; he also puts his trust in us. The idea of God's dependence on men is never far from New Testament thought. When God wants something done, he has to find a man to do it. If he wants a child taught, a message brought, a sermon preached, a wanderer found, a sorrowing one... 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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:11

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher ,.... Both from eternity, in the counsel and purpose of God, Acts 9:15 and in time, by the church at Antioch, and the prophets in it, according to the express order of the Holy Ghost, Acts 13:2 . And if ever there was a preacher of the Gospel, Paul was one; he preached purely, powerfully, publicly, constantly, boldly, and with all faithfulness and integrity: and an apostle ; that is, of the Gentiles, as follows, and as he elsewhere styles himself, ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:12

For the which cause I also suffer these things ,.... The present imprisonment and bonds in which he now was; these, with all the indignities, reproaches, distresses, and persecutions, came upon him, for the sake of his being a preacher of the Gospel; and particularly for his being a teacher of the Gentiles: the Jews hated him, and persecuted him, because he preached the Gospel, and the more because he preached it to the Gentiles, that they might be saved; and the unbelieving Gentiles were... 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

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:11

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher - Κηρυξ , a herald. See the notes at Matthew 3:17 . And an apostle - Sent immediately from God to man. A teacher - One whose business it is to instruct men, and particularly the Gentiles, to whom he was especially sent; to proclaim the doctrines of eternal life, the resurrection and final incorruptibility of the human body; and, in a word, the salvation both of the body and soul of man by Christ Jesus. read more
