Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 3:10-17

( b) 2 Timothy 3:10-Esther : . Timothy’ s Safeguards.— Grave as these dangers are, however, Timothy has a double safeguard. ( a) His present difficult task does not take him by surprise. When, at Lystra ( Acts 16:3), he accepted the missionary commission, he understood clearly, through his intimate knowledge of Paul’ s experience, all that it involved— both the type of teaching, conduct, and character required, and the inevitable hardship entailed. (He knew, too, God’ s power of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 3:16

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God: Scripture signifies no more than writing; some therefore translate this text thus: All Scripture which is inspired of God; not all writings, but all the books of the Old Testament, is θεοπνευστος. This is expounded by Peter, 2 Peter 1:21; For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. And is profitable for doctrine; and it is profitable to instruct us in all propositions of... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES2 Timothy 3:14. Knowing of whom.—R.V. margin, “Gr. what persons.” The apostle does not take the sole credit of the discipleship of Timothy, whose “faith does not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”2 Timothy 3:15. From a child.—R.V. “a babe,” from earliest infancy. The Holy Scriptures.—R.V. “the sacred writings.” A comprehensive term including, like our Lord’s threefold division in Luke 24:44, all the Jewish canonical Scriptures.2 Timothy 3:16. All... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:14-17

2 Timothy 3:14-17 There can be no reasonable doubt what is meant by the sacred writings with which Timothy had been familiar from his infancy. His mother, Eunice, was "a Jewess which believed," and the first care of a devout Jewish mother would be to instruct her child in the knowledge of those "oracles of God," the charge of which was one of the chief glories of her nation, and to fulfil the Divine precept: "These words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart, and thou shalt... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:15-16

2 Timothy 3:15-16 The Bible the True Guide. What are we to say to objections that may be raised to this or that portion of the Old Testament? Are we to close our ears to these objections? The answer to this question must depend in a great measure on the condition of life in which God has been pleased to place us, and upon our own opportunities, attainments, and means of examining these objections thoroughly. The main end for which we have been sent into the world is to serve God, to promote His... read more

2 Timothy 3:16 Unity of Plan in the Old Testament. I. The most cursory glance will show us that the Old Testament is divided into four parts the Pentateuch, the historical books, the poetical books, the prophetical books, and I may say at once that I regard the Song of Solomon as the climax of the whole; all that precedes leads up to it, all that follows flows from it. It is a mountain summit, where you may see Jesus only in His transfiguration glory: a Pisgah height where the Moses of the law... read more

2 Timothy 3:16-17 The Profitableness of Scripture. We have here two great affirmations concerning the Scriptures. First, they are inspired of God; next, they are religiously profitable. I. First, however, it is necessary to bear in mind the distinction between inspiration and revelation. Inspiration is an inbreathing and vital quickening of whatever may be the normal faculties of a man, whereby their natural force and religious sensibilities are augmented; such as we conceive the processes of... read more

DISCOURSE: 2257THE EXCELLENCY OF THE SCRIPTURES2 Timothy 3:16-17. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.LITTLE do men in general think how much they are indebted to God for the possession of the Holy Scriptures. This was the exclusive privilege of the Jewish nation for fifteen hundred years: and it elevated them above... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:1-17

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Second Timothy chapter three? Paul said to Timothy,This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come ( 2 Timothy 3:1 ).It is interesting that the Scriptures in many places speak of the last days and in every case where the Scriptures speak of the last days, you find that it is an apt description of the day and the age in which we live. And so Paul is warning Timothy of certain things that will be transpiring in the last days. And as we go down... read more
