• There is a great and felt difference between the first and second epistles to Timothy. The former contemplates the assembly in its pristine order, with everything regulated by the divine word; the latter deals with the path of the faithful in a time of confusion and departure from the truth. (“The Birth of Jesus” by H.H. Snell)
• He might be, as indeed he was, forsaken, if not refused, by many; but the authority entrusted to him survived. It is the same now as to gift. (“The Birth of Jesus” by H.H. Snell)
• Called by the Lord Himself, he was called by the will of God; and this certainty in his soul was the secret of his courage and devotedness in the Lord’s service. (“The Birth of Jesus” by H.H. Snell)
• {promise of life} The truth may be departed from, and the testimony be consequently surrendered, but the life which is in Christ Jesus—eternal life—is indestructible, as it is also outside of and above all question of failure or corruption. (“The Birth of Jesus” by H.H. Snell)
• The first of Timothy gives directions for the order of the assembly; the second, for the path of the servant of God when it is in disorder and failure. (“Ephesians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• In other epistles he presented himself as a "servant" (Rom. 1:1; Phil. 1:1; Titus 1:1); but here he views himself in his apostolic character, as one sent and commissioned by the Lord Himself, and, as such, having authority, an authority which no unfaithfulness on the part of others could nullify....It is the same now as to gift. Wherever this is found, the privilege and responsibility to use it abide, even though it may not be acknowledged by the saints. The Head of the church who bestows it counts upon, and holds the person on whom it is bestowed responsible for, its faithful employment. (Compare Matt. 25:14-30.) (“Expository 2 Timothy 1:1-5”)
• The truth may be departed from, and the testimony be consequently surrendered, but the life which is in Christ Jesus—eternal life—is indestructible, as it is also outside of and above all question of failure or corruption. (“Expository 2 Timothy 1:1-5”)
