2 Timothy

Treated in 310 passages across the library.

Paul's last letter, written from prison in Rome as he expected death. He urges Timothy to stir up the gift of God, to endure hardship as a good soldier, to rightly divide the word of truth, and to preach the word in season and out of season. It holds his testimony, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."
