2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 2New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
a fine soldier of Christ Jesus: At 2Ti 2:3-6, Paul uses three illustrations to explain that Timothy—like all Christians—needs to be ready to endure hardships and suffering. In verse 3, Paul likens Christians to soldiers, as he does a number of times in his letters. (1Co 9:7; 2Co 10:3-5; Eph 6:10-17; Php 2:25; 1Th 5:8; 1Ti 1:18; Phm 2) A soldier obeys the commands of his superior and expects hardships. Likewise, Christians obey the commands of Christ Jesus and readily suffer adversity. Such adversity includes being hated and even persecuted by others. Paul thus reminds Timothy that “as a fine soldier of Christ Jesus,” he needs such qualities as determination, endurance, and self-discipline.
