2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 1New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
a beloved child: Paul and Timothy had developed an especially warm and close bond. In fact, Paul had become a spiritual father to Timothy. (1Co 4:17; Php 2:22) In his first letter to Timothy, Paul addressed him as “a genuine child” and “my child.” (1Ti 1:2, 18) When Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy, the two had served together for at least 14 years. Now Paul sensed that his death was imminent, so he may have regarded this letter as his final written message to Timothy. (2Ti 4:6-8) Warmly reassuring the young man of his affection, Paul calls Timothy “a beloved child.”—See study notes on 1Ti 1:2, 18.
May you have undeserved kindness, mercy, and peace: See study note on Ro 1:7.
