2 Timotius 4:15

4:15 You be on guard against him ¹  too, because he vehemently opposed our words.

2 Timotius 4:5

4:5 You, however, be self-controlled ²  in all things, endure hardship, do an evangelist’s work, fulfill your ministry.

2 Timotius 1:14

1:14 Protect that good thing ³  entrusted to you, through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

2 Timotius 1:6

1:6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess ⁴  through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timotius 4:18

4:18 The Lord will deliver me from every evil deed and will bring me safely ⁵  into his heavenly kingdom. To him ⁶  be glory for ever and ever! ⁷  Amen.

2 Timotius 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ⁸  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ⁹  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ¹⁰  until that day. ¹¹ 

[4:15]  ¹ tn Grk “against whom,” as a continuation of the previous clause. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[4:5]  ² tn Or “sober,” “temperate.”

[1:14]  ³ sn That good thing (Grk “the good deposit”) refers to the truth of the gospel committed to Timothy (cf. 1 Tim 6:20).

[1:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “that is in you.”

[4:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “save me.”

[4:18]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Grk “unto the ages of the ages,” an emphatic way of speaking about eternity in Greek.

[1:12]  ⁸ tn Grk “suffer these things.”

[1:12]  ⁹ tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

[1:12]  ¹⁰ sn What has been entrusted to me (Grk “my entrustment,” meaning either (1) “what I have entrusted to him” [his life, destiny, etc.] or (2) “what he has entrusted to me” [the truth of the gospel]). The parallel with v. 14 and use of similar words in the pastorals (1 Tim 6:20; 2 Tim 2:2) argue for the latter sense.

[1:12]  ¹¹ sn That day is a reference to the day when Paul would stand before Christ to give account for his service (cf. 2 Tim 1:18; 1 Cor 3:13; 2 Cor 5:9-10).
