2 Timothy 4:11

4:11 Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, because he is a great help ¹  to me in ministry. ² 

2 Timothy 1:15

1:15 You know that everyone in the province of Asia ³  deserted me, including Phygelus and Hermogenes.

2 Timothy 2:17

2:17 and their message will spread its infection ⁴  like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group. ⁵ 

2 Timothy 1:6

1:6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess ⁶  through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timothy 2:20

2:20 Now in a wealthy home ⁷  there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also ones made of wood and of clay, and some are for honorable use, but others for ignoble use. ⁸ 

2 Timothy 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ⁹  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ¹⁰  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ¹¹  until that day. ¹² 

[4:11]  ¹ tn Grk “useful.”

[4:11]  ² tn Or “in serving me.”

[1:15]  ³ tn Grk “Asia”; in the NT this always refers to the Roman province of Asia, made up of about one-third of the west and southwest end of modern Asia Minor. Asia lay to the west of the region of Phrygia and Galatia. The words “the province of” are supplied to indicate to the modern reader that this does not refer to the continent of Asia.

[2:17]  ⁵ tn Or “eat away.”

[2:17]  ⁶ tn Grk “of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, this last clause has been made a new sentence in the translation.

[1:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “that is in you.”

[2:20]  ⁹ tn Grk “a great house.”

[2:20]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “for dishonor,” probably referring to vessels used for refuse or excrement.

[1:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk “suffer these things.”

[1:12]  ¹² tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

[1:12]  ¹³ sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

[1:12]  ¹⁴ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
