The Holy Bible - Second Timothy

The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading.

Why read it?

The Second Letter to Timothy is Paul’s last known letter, written from a Roman prison around 66–67 AD, just before his death. He writes to Timothy like a father to a son, urging him to stay strong in faith, preach the word boldly, and endure hardship. Paul knows his time is short and passes the task of ministry to the next generation.

You will find deep emotion, urgent charges, and confidence in God’s keeping power. This book strengthens anyone who feels alone in serving Christ or faces the end of a chapter.

Favourite quote

In 2 Timothy 1:12, Paul declares:

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.

These words sum up the gospel and Paul’s own wonder at grace.

What I Loved

The solemn charge in chapter 4 moves me deeply: “Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:2). Paul knows false teaching will grow, yet he tells Timothy to stay faithful to Scripture. This call rings clear for every believer who wants to stand firm.

Key Takeaway

Second Timothy teaches that all Scripture is God breathed and useful for teaching and training in righteousness. In hard times we must guard the gospel, endure suffering, and finish our race well. The book calls us to fan into flame God’s gift, reject fear, and rely on His strength. It reminds us that the Lord stands with His servants and will bring us safely home.
