[1:18] 1 sn This charge refers to the task Paul described to Timothy in vv. 3-7 above.
[1:18] 2 sn The prophecies once spoken about you were apparently spoken at Timothy’s ordination (cf. 1 Tim 4:14) and perhaps spoke of what God would do through him. Thus they can encourage him in his work, as the next clause says.
