2 Timothy 1:11 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Timothy 1:11

9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, ^anot according to our works, but ^baccording to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus ^cbefore time began,

10 but ^ahas now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

11 ^ato which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher¹ of the Gentiles.

12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, ^afor I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Be Loyal to the Faith

13 ^aHold fast ^bthe pattern of ^csound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

14 That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
