2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 1

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 1:10
  
  the manifestation of our Savior, Christ Jesus: Here Paul explains that God’s “undeserved kindness,” mentioned in verse 9, was “made clearly evident” by means of “the manifestation of . . . Christ Jesus.” In this context, Jehovah brought about this manifestation by sending his Son to the earth to live as a man. This manifestation is also mentioned at Joh 1:14, which says that “the Word became flesh and resided among” humans. Similarly, 1Ti 3:16 (see study note) refers to Jesus’ being “made manifest in flesh.” That expression applies to his earthly life and ministry, apparently from the time of his baptism in the Jordan River. Throughout his ministry, Jesus clearly taught humans how they could be saved from their sins and gain everlasting life.—Mt 1:21; Lu 2:11; 3:6.
  
  Christ Jesus . . . has shed light on life and incorruption: The Hebrew Scriptures mention the resurrection of the dead and the hope of living forever. (Job 14:14, 15; Ps 37:29; Isa 26:19; Da 12:2, 13) Yet, those inspired writings left many things to be revealed and clarified. Jesus is called “the true light that gives light.” (Joh 1:9) It is only natural that he was the one who “shed light” on this hope. He called himself “the life,” and he promised that whoever exercised faith in his word would have “everlasting life.” (Joh 5:24; 6:40; 14:6) Jesus also “shed light on life” by explaining that he would give his life as a ransom to abolish, or destroy, death. (Mt 20:28; Joh 3:16; 5:28, 29; 11:25, 26) Additionally, Jesus revealed that some humans would enjoy heavenly life and reign together with him. (Lu 12:32; Joh 14:2, 3) And when they receive this heavenly reward, they are “raised up in incorruption.”—1Co 15:42 and study note; 1Pe 1:3, 4.
