1 + 2 Timothy | Reading Plan + Study Questions

DAY 10 OF 10

2 TIMOTHY 4

FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, FINISH THE RACE, KEEP THE FAITH

Paul charges Timothy to continue preaching God’s Word, reproving, rebuking, and teaching with patience. Despite sharing the good news of Jesus, people will turn away from the truth and seek other messages from false teachers.

Paul encourages Timothy to be alert, sober-minded, and enduring of suffering so that he can fulfill his ministry of evangelism. Knowing that he is near the end of his life, Paul reflects on his own faithfulness, stating that he has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. In the end, Paul believes God will award a crown of righteousness to all those who love Him.

Concluding the letter, Paul says that the time of his departure is near. Although many have scattered from Paul, Timothy has remained faithful. Despite being abandoned by friends and followers, Paul is comforted by the message of Jesus.

Paul requests that Timothy come soon, preferably before wintertime, and asks Timothy to bring his cloak and some scrolls. Despite facing execution for his faith, Paul boldly states that God will rescue him from every evil deed and bring him safely into God’s kingdom.
