John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:7

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Ver. 7. Ever learning, and never able ] Because resolved not to lose their lusts. Intus existens prohibebat alienum; there was that within that kept out holy learning. It was therefore an excellent prayer of holy Zuinglius before his public lectures, Father of lights, enlighten our minds and open our hearts, so as that we may both understand thine oracles and be transformed into them.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:8

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. Ver. 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres ] Numenius the Pythagorean calleth him Mambres. These were those Egyptian sorcerers: their names St Paul had either by tradition, or out of some Jewish records. Apuleius in his second apology mentioneth one Joannes among the chief magicians. The Babylonian Talmud also maketh mention of these two by name, as chief of the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:9

9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men , as theirs also was. Ver. 9. As theirs also was ] Exodus 8:19 . When they were set, and could not with all their skill make a louse, but by further resistance manifested their folly unto all men. So did that magician of Antwerp, all whose enchantments were made void by Mr Tyndale the martyr, present at that supper, where and when he should, but could not, play his feats, and show his cunning. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:10

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Ver. 10. But thou hast fully known ] παρηκολουθηκας . Or, thou hast exactly trod in my track, followed my footsteps; as Irenaeus did Polycarp’s, as Paraeus did Ursin’s; whence Paulus Melissus, " - Sacra docente Pareo, Vividus Ursini spiritus ora movet.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:11

11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Ver. 11. What persecutions I endured ] Gr. οιους , what manner of persecutions. A Christian may without sin be sensible of injuries and indignities. Only it must be the mourning of doves, and not the roaring of bears. A sheep may be as sensible of the biting of a dog as a swine is, though he raise not such a dust, make not such a din. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:12

12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Ver. 12. Yea, and all that will live ] Carry they the matter never so discreetly, they must suffer. Many dream of a delicacy, they conceit a godly life without persecution. These would pull a rose without pricks. Armat spina rosas, mella tegunt apes. (Boetius.) Thucydides complains of his countrymen, that none of them would ταλαιπωρειν δια το καλον , suffer aught for goodness’ sake. Too few there are that today... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:13

13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Ver. 13. Shall wax worse and worse ] In deterius proficient, a sorry kind of profiting, quando Andabatarum more res procedat. Thus the Illuminates (as they called themselves), a pestilent sect in Arragon, professing and affecting in themselves a kind of angelic purity, fell suddenly to the very counterpoint of justifying bestiality. (Spec. Europ.) And though these men and their light are quenched some... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:14

14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them ; Ver. 14. But continue thou, &c. ] Gr. μενε . Abide, keep thy station. Thou shalt surely be put to it, as that prophetic man in the ecclesiastical history went to the pillars a little before an earthquake, and bade them stand fast, for they should shortly be shaken. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Timothy 3:15

15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Ver. 15. And that from a child ] Gr. απο βρεφους , from a suckling. As all children, so those especially that are dedicated to the work of the ministry, should be betimes inured to Scripture learning. See Trapp on " 1Ti 4:6 " The story of Mistress Elizabeth Wheatenhall, daughter of Mr Anthony Wheatenhall, of Tenterden in Kent, late deceased,... read more
