CHAPTER 2 2 Timothy 2:1-7 1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 1. Tu ergo, fili mi, fortis esto in gratia, quae est in Christo Iesu. 2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Here Paul encourages Timothy to constancy and perseverance in his work: Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, Ti2 2:1. Observe, Those who have work to do for God must stir up themselves to do it, and strengthen themselves for it. Being strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus may be understood in opposition to the weakness of grace.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

Thou therefore endure hardness,.... "Or afflictions"; as in Ti2 4:5. The same word is used there as here, and properly signifies, "suffer evil"; and means the evil of afflictions, as persecutions of every kind, loss of name and goods, scourging, imprisonment, and death itself, for the sake of Christ and the Gospel: as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
