  • 2 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 3
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 3:15

      from infancy you have known the holy writings: Timothy was very young when his mother, Eunice​—and probably also his grandmother Lois​—taught him “the holy writings” of the Jews, that is, the inspired Hebrew Scriptures. (2Ti 1:5; 3:14; see study note on Ro 1:2.) The Greek word breʹphos, here rendered “infancy,” may refer to very small children, newborn babies, or even unborn children. (Lu 1:41; 2:12; Ac 7:19; 1Pe 2:2; see study note on Lu 18:15.) Timothy received an early education in the Hebrew Scriptures, which laid a solid foundation for his growing faith. When Timothy was a young man, he and his mother and grandmother learned about the “salvation through faith in Christ Jesus,” and they became Christians. As Timothy grew older, he continued to make excellent progress.​—See study note on Ac 16:1; see also Php 2:19-22.
