2 Timotius 2:2

2:2 And entrust what you heard me say ¹  in the presence of many others as witnesses ²  to faithful people ³  who will be competent ⁴  to teach others as well.

2 Timotius 1:12

1:12 Because of this, in fact, I suffer as I do. ⁵  But I am not ashamed, because I know the one in whom my faith is set ⁶  and I am convinced that he is able to protect what has been entrusted to me ⁷  until that day. ⁸ 

2 Timotius 4:6

4:6 For I am already being poured out as an offering, and the time for me to depart ⁹  is at hand.

2 Timotius 4:8

4:8 Finally the crown of righteousness is reserved for me. The Lord, the righteous Judge, will award it to me in that day – and not to me only, but also to all who have set their affection on ¹⁰  his appearing.

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

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

[2:2]  ³ tn Grk “faithful men”; but here ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is generic, referring to both men and women.

[2:2]  ⁴ tn Or “able” (see Paul’s use of this word in regard to ministry in 2 Cor 2:16; 3:5-6).

[1:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “suffer these things.”

[1:12]  ⁶ tn Or “in whom I have believed.”

[1:12]  ⁷ 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]  ⁸ 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).

[4:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “of my departure.”

[4:8]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “all who have loved.”
