Introduction
This is the second letter of Paul that we have that’s written to Timothy. He wrote it from Rome when he was imprisoned there as a result of his preaching about Yeshua the messiah. Timothy was still teaching the believers in Ephesus, so here Paul requests him to come to see him before he gets sentenced to death.
In this letter, Paul advised Timothy to be strong so that he can persevere in his preaching and doing God’s work even in the middle of suffering and when others oppose him. He also warns Timothy about the coming evil of teachers of false doctrines because these can destroy the faith of the listeners.
Most of all, Paul reminds Timothy about his life so that Paul’s faith and endurance would be an example for Timothy to follow: his humility, his love, and his enduring suffering from those who persecuted him.
