the most personal of the Pastoral Epistles. It was written shortly
before Paul's martyrdom and contains intimate words of lasting
significance. The apostle's special concern for both Timothy and the
people he served is laid bare in this touching letter of instruction and
encouragement.Second Timothy is characterized by clear expression and a
penetrating analysis of this epistle written to a son in the faith. The

and is interspersed in the interpretative text. Technical matters have
been kept to a minimum but discussion of the Greek is included where
such commentary is needed.
