4:1 I solemnly charge you before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

2 Timothy 3:5

3:5 They will maintain the outward appearance ³  of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these. ⁴ 

2 Timothy 2:17

2:17 and their message will spread its infection ⁵  like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are in this group. ⁶ 

2 Timothy 2:25-26

2:25 correcting ⁷  opponents with gentleness. Perhaps God will grant them repentance and then knowledge of the truth ⁸  2:26 and they will come to their senses and escape the devil’s trap where they are held captive ⁹  to do his will. ¹⁰ 

2 Timothy 4:16

4:16 At my first defense no one appeared in my support; instead they all deserted me – may they not be held accountable for it.

2 Timothy 1:8

1:8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord ¹¹  or of me, a prisoner for his sake, but by ¹²  God’s power accept your share of suffering ¹³  for the gospel.

2 Timothy 1:18

1:18 May the Lord grant him to find mercy from the Lord on that day! ¹⁴  And you know very well all the ways he served me in Ephesus. ¹⁵ 

2 Timothy 2:10

2:10 So I endure all things for the sake of those chosen by God, ¹⁶  that they too may obtain salvation in Christ Jesus and its eternal glory. ¹⁷ 

2 Timothy 3:9

3:9 But they will not go much further, ¹⁸  for their foolishness will be obvious to everyone, just like it was with Jannes and Jambres. ¹⁹ 

2 Timothy 2:19

2:19 However, God’s solid foundation remains standing, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are his,” ²⁰  and “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord ²¹  must turn away from evil.”

2 Timothy 4:8

4:8 Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day – and not to me only, but also to all who have set their affection on ²²  his appearing.

2 Timothy 4:18

4:18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely ²³  into his heavenly kingdom. To him ²⁴  be glory for ever and ever! ²⁵  Amen.

[4:14]  ¹ tn Grk “showed me much evil.”

[4:14]  ² sn An allusion to Ps 28:4.

[3:5]  ³ tn Or “form.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.

[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.

[2:25]  ⁷ sn Correcting is the word for “child-training” or “discipline.” It is often positive (training, educating) but here denotes the negative side (correcting, disciplining).

[2:25]  ⁸ tn Grk “repentance unto knowledge of the truth.”

[2:26]  ⁹ tn Grk “having been captured by him.”

[2:26]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “for that one’s will,” referring to the devil, but with a different pronoun than in the previous phrase “by him.” Some have construed “for his will” with the earlier verb and referred the pronoun to God: “come to their senses and escape the devil’s trap (though they have been captured by him) in order to do His will.” In Classical Greek the shift in pronouns would suggest this, but in Koine Greek this change is not significant. The more natural sense is a reference to the devil’s will.

[1:8]  ¹¹ tn Grk “the testimony of our Lord.”

[1:8]  ¹² tn Or “according to.”

[1:8]  ¹³ tn Grk “suffer hardship together,” implying “join with me in suffering.”

[1:18]  ¹³ sn That day is a reference to the day when Onesiphorus (v. 16) stands before Christ to give account for his service (cf. v. 12; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).

[1:18]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “all the ways he served in Ephesus.”

[2:10]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “the elect.”

[2:10]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “with eternal glory.”

[3:9]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “for they will not progress any more.”

[3:9]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “as theirs came to be,” referring to the foolishness of Jannes and Jambres. The referent of “theirs” (Jannes and Jambres) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:19]  ¹⁹ sn A quotation from Num 16:5.

[2:19]  ²⁰ tn Grk “names the name of the Lord.”

[4:8]  ²¹ tn Grk “all who have loved.”

[4:18]  ²³ tn Grk “save me.”

[4:18]  ²⁴ tn Grk “to whom.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:18]  ²⁵ tn Grk “unto the ages of the ages,” an emphatic way of speaking about eternity in Greek.
