  • 2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 3
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 3:12

      those desiring to live with godly devotion: The Greek word rendered “desiring” may involve more than a passing wish; here the verb form implies an ongoing determination. Regarding the effect of being determined to live with genuine “godly devotion,” one reference work notes: “To be different from the world, to have a different set of standards and a different set of aims, is always a perilous thing.” (See study note on 1Ti 4:7.) As Paul here shows, such people of godly devotion would inevitably face the enmity of persecutors. (Ge 3:15; Re 12:9, 17) Christ faced such dangers and persecution. So did Paul and Timothy, and so must all true Christians.​—Joh 15:20; Ac 17:3; Php 3:10; 2Ti 2:3.
