2 Timothy 2:2Faithful endurance
The things which you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit the same things to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
Interpretation
Paul urges a commit faithful that is embodied in solitude and community. 2 Timothy 2:2: trace "things" and "which". Align commit faithful in small choices no one sees—season power with mercy. Through faith & justification, Explores how trust in God—rather than works—positions people in right relationship (Gen 15:6; Rom 3–4; Gal 2–3).
Context
2 Timothy speaks here as epistle/letter writing, naming commit faithful. Placed in ch. 2, the nearby lines set its tone. There’s a line into faith & justification. The nearby sentences supply the texture.
Manuscripts & Textual Witnesses
The Greek text is preserved in thousands of manuscripts. Early papyri (P46, P66, P75) from the 2nd-3rd centuries, along with major uncials like Sinaiticus and Vaticanus (4th century), provide strong textual witness. Minor variants exist but leave the overall message intact.
