Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 3:1-17

SECTION 3. Those Who Are Truly the Lord’s Must Equip Themselves Accordingly, Especially In View Of The Grievous Times That Are Coming (2 Timothy 2:19 to 2 Timothy 3:17 ). Having called on him to endure hardness and suffering, Paul now calls Timothy to a life of holiness and establishment in the truth according to the Scriptures. Those who would serve the Lord are to rest secure in the fact that He knows them, and are to purify themselves, and look to the Scriptures, so that they are prepared... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 3:14-17

Timothy Is To Abide In The Scriptures As He Has Always Done (2 Timothy 3:14-17 ). So what Timothy must do is remember what he has learned from the cradle. For he was fortunate enough to be brought up on the sacred writings, the Scriptures, which are able to make him wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. He must remember therefore that they are ‘God-breathed’ and are there in order to provide all that he can possibly need to make him a complete man of God and to prepare him for... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 3:16

‘Every scripture, inspired of God (God breathed) is also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.’ By stressing that Christ is central we do not by it diminish the value of the Scriptures. Rather we enhance it. For while it is Christ Jesus the risen Saviour Who is undoubtedly pre-eminent, the Scriptures are all important in pointing to Him. They are the means by which, through prayer, He can be made known to men and women. They are our... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Timothy 3:17

‘That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.’ And the result is that the man of God (a description used of the prophets in the Old Testament, and having in mind therefore Spirit inspired men) who fully responds to the Scriptures and what is written in them, will become a complete servant of God, completely furnished to every good work. The Scriptures are basically all that he requires in order to be furnished with the truth. Thus through careful study of the... read more

( 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Timothy 3:17

That the man of God may be perfect; that both ministers and all godly men may be as perfect as they can be in the state of mortality, fitted for the duties of their several callings and places. Throughly furnished unto all good works; and be prepared to every work which is good, acceptable and well-pleasing unto God, whether it be a work of piety, or justice and charity. The Scripture, as to all, is so full a direction, that Christians need not go down to the Philistines to whet their tools,... 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
