2 Timotius 3:14

3:14 You, however, must continue ¹  in the things you have learned and are confident about. You know ²  who taught you ³ 

2 Timotius 1:5-6

1:5 I recall ⁴  your sincere faith ⁵  that was alive first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am sure ⁶  is in you.

1:6 Because of this I remind you to rekindle God’s gift that you possess ⁷  through the laying on of my hands.

2 Timotius 2:2

2:2 And entrust what you heard me say ⁸  in the presence of many others as witnesses ⁹  to faithful people ¹⁰  who will be competent ¹¹  to teach others as well.

[3:14]  ¹ tn Grk “but you, continue,” a command.

[3:14]  ² tn Grk “knowing,” giving the reasons for continuing as v. 14 calls for.

[3:14]  ³ tn Grk “those from whom you learned.”

[1:5]  ⁴ tn Grk “recalling” (as a continuation of the preceding clause). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Grk “the sincere faith in you.”

[1:5]  ⁶ tn Or “convinced.”

[1:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “that is in you.”

[2:2]  ⁸ tn Grk “what you heard from me” (cf. 1:13).

[2:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “through many witnesses.” The “through” is used here to show attendant circumstances: “accompanied by,” “in the presence of.”

[2:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “faithful men”; but here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is generic, referring to both men and women.

[2:2]  ¹¹ tn Or “able” (see Paul’s use of this word in regard to ministry in 2 Cor 2:16; 3:5-6).
