George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:7

Of fear. [3] Of a cowardly fear, and want of courage. --- Of sobriety. [4] Though the Protestants here translate of a sound mind, yet they translate the same Greek word by sobriety in divers other places, as Acts xxvi. 25; 1 Timothy ii. 9 and 15 and chap. iii. 2; Titus i. 8. &c. (Witham) =============================== [BIBLIOGRAPHY] Timoris, Greek: deilias, timiditatis, it is not Greek: phobou. =============================== [BIBLIOGRAPHY] Et sobrietatis, Greek: kai sophronismou. read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 1:6-14

6-14 God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of power, of courage and resolution, to meet difficulties and dangers; the spirit of love to him, which will carry us through opposition. And the spirit of a sound mind, quietness of mind. The Holy Spirit is not the author of a timid or cowardly disposition, or of slavish fears. We are likely to bear afflictions well, when we have strength and power from God to enable us to bear them. As is usual with Paul, when he mentions Christ and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-99

2Tim 1 IN HIS OPENING words, presenting his apostleship, Paul strikes a note which is prominent all through this epistle. He is an apostle, not only “by the will of God” that gave him his authority but also “according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus” that conferred upon his apostleship an unconquerable character. Nature furnishes us with many illustrations of the extraordinary power of life. Here is a green sapling so tender that an infant could crush it in its tiny fist yet... read more

Paul Reminds Timothy of His Early Training and Its Obligations. v. 3. I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; v. 4. greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; v. 5. when I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois and thy mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that in thee also. v. 6. ... read more

IIIExhortation to Timothy to stir up and to apply well the gifts of grace which had been conferred upon him.—The motive hereto; reference to the example of Paul, and others2 Timothy 1:6-186Wherefore I put thee in remembrance, that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by [through] the putting on of my hands. 7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; [,] but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind6 8[self-restraint].

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Timothy 1:7

2 Timothy WHAT KIND OF MEN CHRIST MAKES 2Ti_1:7 THE parts which we should naturally have expected Paul and Timothy to fill are reversed in this letter. ‘Paul the aged,’ a prisoner, and soon to be a martyr, might have been expected to receive encouragement and consolation. But Timothy seems to have been of a somewhat weak and timid nature, and this letter of the dying man is one long trumpet-blast to stir his courage. My text is the first of the ‘soul-animating strains’ which he blows. In it... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-11

“Stir Up the Gift Which Is in Thee” 2 Timothy 1:1-11 Lonely and facing death the Apostle fell back on the bedrock of the will of God. If it were the divine plan that he should finish his life-work in that miserable plight, he was content that it should be so. But he longs to see his beloved son in the faith once more. He desires to stir up the dead coal of his ardor, in which there was fire and heat, but not enough flame. Apparently the young evangelist was becoming daunted by the gathering... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Timothy 1:1-18

The second letter to Timothy was written from prison. Paul, conscious of the evil existing in the Church, forecast the terrible days that were coming. He was conscious also of the grave responsibility resting on Timothy. He introduced his letter by a revelation of his affection for Timothy, and his thankfulness for him. His first appeal had to do with Timothy himself. He charged him to "stir up the gift'' he had already received, and not to be "ashamed . . . of the testimony." The qualities... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:1-7

Seven Bible Mothers 2 Timothy 1:1-7 ; 2 Timothy 3:13-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We are studying a theme today which should have in it much of value to every one of us; even the men and the young men love mother, and we believe they will be very happy to study some things about Bible mothers. So far as the young women are concerned, it is a matter of very vital relationship with them. By way of introduction we wish to speak of Eve, whom if you will permit, we will call, "The mother of us all." We... read more
