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

2Tim 2 THE FIRST VERSE of our chapter brings before us a third thing that is needful if the truth of God is to be maintained. A good deposit had been entrusted to Timothy. It had been conveyed to him by Paul in an outline of sound words, and was to be kept by the indwelling Holy Spirit, as 2Ti_1:13 , 2Ti_1:14 have told us. Now to have the truth enshrined in an outline of sound words is good, and yet no such outline can in itself keep the truth alive; for this the Holy Ghost is needed. Apart... read more

An Admonition to faithfulness in Faith and Christian Conduct. v. 8.

Of Clean and Unclean Vessels. v. 19. Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. v. 20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor and some to dishonor. v. 21.

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Timothy 2:4

2 Timothy THE TRUE AIM OF LIFE - PLEASING CHRIST 2Ti_2:4 . PAUL had enough to do to infuse some of his own vigour into the feebler nature of Timothy. If we may judge from the prevailing tone of the Apostle’s letters to him, his young assistant lacked courage and energy; was easily beaten down, needed tonics for the ‘often infirmities’ of his mind as well as of his body. The delicate ingenuity with which this letter accumulates all conceivable encouragements for the drooping heart that was... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 2 Timothy 2:13

2 Timothy A FAITHFUL GOD 2Ti_2:13 . I HAVE chosen this text, not as intending to deal with it only, so much as with the great thought to which it gives such emphatic expression. The faithfulness of God is a familiar enough phrase, but I suspect that the depth and scope of the thought are not as familiar as the words. It is employed in Scripture in many ways, and with many different applications of exhortation and encouragement. Like a prism held at right angles to the light, the thought... read more
