Summary of 2 Timothy 2
2 Timothy chapter 2 continues the unfolding story of 2 Timothy, written by Paul (c. AD 66-67). To grasp this chapter, read it slowly in context, watch what it reveals about God, and trace how it connects to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Key takeaway
2 Timothy 2 invites us to know God better and respond in faith. As you read, ask: What does this passage say about who God is, who I am, and what I'm called to do?
How 2 Timothy 2 fits the whole book
Paul's final letter charges Timothy to guard the gospel and finish the race well. Chapter 2 of 2 Timothy contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
