The Second Epistle to Timothy

2TIMOTHY - Along with the letter to Titus, these writings are defined as "pastoral epistles", which approach the material from the perspective of the minister, not of the Church. The letters to Timothy discuss such matters as the duties and qualifications of church officers, the inspirations of Scripture, the treatment of widows, and the expectation of a future reward.

Author: Apostle Paul

SUMMARY:

Quote easton Dictionary - easton 'Timothy, Second Epistle to'

Timothy, Second Epistle to @ was probably written a year or so after the first, and from Rome, where Paul was for a second time a prisoner, and was sent to Timothy by the hands of Tychicus. In it he entreats Timothy to come to him before winter, and to bring Mark with him (comp. kjv@Philippians:2:22). He was anticipating that "the time of his departure was at hand" ( kjv@2Timothy:4:6), and he exhorts his "son Timothy" to all diligence and steadfastness, and to patience under persecution (1:6-15), and to a faithful discharge of all the duties of his office (4:1-5), with all the solemnity of one who was about to appear before the Judge of quick and dead.
