“2 Timothy 1”

Monday, August 07, 2017

Second Timothy was written under different circumstances than First Timothy.

Paul was imprisoned at Rome on two occasions. During his first imprisonment, he wrote the four “prison epistles,” Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon.

After his release, he wrote several letters, including First Timothy and Titus. If he wrote Hebrews, this was probably also when he did that. He was free for approximately 2-3 years.

Now he is back in a Roman prison and he writes what will prove to be his last letter. Notice that in 2 Timothy 4:6, he is ready for his death.

Outline
