Day 348 Reading Schedule: 2 Timothy 1-4 2 Timothy 1: Gratitude and Encouragement for Timothy [Summary] This chapter emphasizes suffering together with the gospel in order to protect the truth of the gospel. This chapter is the introduction to this letter, and it encourages Timothy, who is facing various difficulties, to devote himself to his pastoral ministry while describing the issue of the basis of salvation. As indicated in the introduction of this chapter, this book is a letter from a spiritual father to his beloved son, and is based on a very close personal relationship. This book is a later work of Paul, and contains the memoirs of the apostle who faithfully carried out the gospel ministry and is now at the end of his life, as well as a message of encouragement for Timothy, the evangelist. In particular, the main theme of this chapter is the advice on the attitude of life as a true pastor who suffered for the gospel. The content can be divided into greetings (verses 1-2), Paul's evaluation of Timothy's faith (verses 3-8), encouragement for Timothy (verses 9-14), and Onesiphorus' help (verses 15-18). 2 Timothy 2: The Faithfulness of Those Called by God [Summary] In the previous chapter, Paul urged Timothy to boldly preach the gospel. In this chapter, he specifically emphasizes the attitude and mission of the evangelist. Paul, who advised Timothy not to be ashamed of the gospel and to actively preach Jesus Christ, urged him not to stop at simply proclaiming the gospel, but to go further and train and arm the saints with the word of truth of the Lord. He said that he should never stagnate, but should constantly grow to the full stature of Christ. To this end, it is absolutely necessary to preach the gospel to unbelievers and nurture the saints. The content of this chapter consists of the first half (verses 1-7) that mentions the appearance of a good minister, the middle part (verses 8-13) that mentions the rewards received by ministers, and the second half (verses 14-26) that mentions the advice given to good ministers. 2 Timothy 3: The Life of the Saints in the End Times [Summary] In this chapter, Paul points out the evils and heretics that will appear in the end times, and urges devout Christians to remain in what they have learned and are convinced of in order to overcome suffering and be victorious. In his early letters, Paul shows his faith in the imminent second coming, but as the second coming of the Lord was delayed, his eschatological thoughts became vague, and in his later letters, there is no expectation that Jesus will come again soon. In particular, in the era when the pastoral letters were written, that is, at the end of the first century, the eschatological thoughts among the saints became vague and they lost their sense of tension, so they fell into religious and moral complacency, and were especially easily tempted by false teachers. In this chapter, Paul reminds us that the second coming of Jesus will definitely happen someday, and that all the eras since the first coming of Jesus are the era of the end times, and he mentions the correct attitude of the saints living in the end times. The content can be divided into various phenomena of the last days (verses 1-9) and persecution and response in the last days (verses 10-17). 2 Timothy 4: Paul's Final Exhortation [Summary] In the previous chapter, Paul asked Timothy to remain in the truth by keeping the word even in the midst of suffering, and now he is giving his final instruction to his beloved Timothy. In particular, this chapter clearly shows the solemnity of the old apostle waiting for his final moment in a Roman prison. That is, in this chapter, there is no hope at all that Paul will be released and return to the front lines of the gospel ministry. Rather, Paul is hinting at his imminent death (verse 6). In this position, Paul is looking back on the past days when he devoted himself to the gospel ministry and is giving his final exhortation to Timothy, his beloved disciple and co-worker. The content of this exhortation can be summarized as follows: first, gospel witness, second, word-centered education and training, and third, acceptance of suffering. The content of this chapter consists of Paul's final instructions to his beloved co-worker Timothy to fulfill his duties as an evangelist (verses 1-5), a section that clearly shows Paul's desire as a martyr (verses 6-8), personal requests (verses 9-18), and a final greeting (verses 19-22).
