2 Timothy 2:18

2:18 They have strayed from the truth ¹  by saying that the resurrection has already occurred, and they are undermining some people’s faith.

2 Timothy 2:2

2:2 And entrust what you heard me say ²  in the presence of many others as witnesses ³  to faithful people ⁴  who will be competent ⁵  to teach others as well.

2 Timothy 1:5

1:5 I recall ⁶  your sincere faith ⁷  that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure ⁸  is in you.

[2:18]  ¹ tn Grk “have deviated concerning the truth.”

[2:2]  ² tn Grk “what you heard from me” (cf. 1:13).

[2:2]  ³ tn Grk “through many witnesses.” The “through” is used here to show attendant circumstances: “accompanied by,” “in the presence of.”

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Grk “faithful men”; but here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is generic, referring to both men and women.

[2:2]  ⁵ tn Or “able” (see Paul’s use of this word in regard to ministry in 2 Cor 2:16; 3:5-6).

[1:5]  ³ tn Grk “recalling” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Or “convinced.”
