Study 1 From The Book of 2 Timothy Is: 2
Timothy 1
1. Picture Paul’s circumstances. See also
4:9-13. What positive Christian truths
sustained and encouraged Paul as he lay in prison?
2. Note how Paul reminds Timothy of the
demands and cost of Christian service. Express in your own words the chief
points of Paul’s counsel and exhortation to him. To which of these do you particularly need to
give heed?
3. What do verses 3-7 reveal concerning the
value of a God-fearing and Christian home and upbringing? Cf. 3: 14, 15.
Note.
Verse 16-18. ‘Onesiphorus appears here as one separated from his
household, either by absence from home, or quite possibly by death (cf.
4:19). This does not mean, however, that
Paul is praying for his present well-being as one dead, a practice completely
unsupported elsewhere in Scripture. The prayer concerns not the intermediate
state at all, but conduct in this life, and reward on the future day of
judgement’?
