 ire white:. !> writt>n in July or 



-ed that Timothy 

 was at Kphe.stis when St. \ il to him. 



The immediate desiiru of St. Paid in writing thisKpistle 

 was, it would seem, to apprise Timothy of the circum- 

 stances that had recently happened to himself at Rome, 

 and to request his immediate presence tin 



ither from the last chapter of this Kpistle. that St. 

 Paul was closely confined as a malefactor for some crime 

 laid to his chaise: that when he was brought before the 

 Roman in to make his first answer, no man 



stood by him, but all men forsook him ;' that only Luke 

 was with him : that beimr thus deserted by almost all, he 

 was great! Timothy, -his dearly be- 



loved son in the irospcl." before the Mime of his departure,' 

 which he knew was at hand.' He therefore req 

 him to come to Home immediately, but being uncertain 

 whether he should live to see Timothy again, he gave him 

 in this Epistle a variety of adi> .id en- 



This Kpistle in fact is an appropriate and 

 affecting sequel to the first, the principal injunctions and 

 waning! of which it re peats, but with addition:! I 

 and fervour. St. Paul, as if for the last time chap. i.\ con- 

 jures Timothy to apply himself with all his s\\ 

 to his holy work, to hold fast the doctrine which he had 

 oin him. and not to !' the 



my of the Lord or of St. Paul's own suit. 

 In chap. ii. St. Paul airain cautions Timot i here- 



tics and 'foolish qin d exhorts him to personal 



holiness. In chap. ili. he irivcs a description of the ' perilous 

 which should come.' and which we mtici- 



ni in performing the duties 



of a Christian minister. To this work, in chap, iv., he ev- 

 1 him by a solemn charge before 'God and the Lord 

 Jesus Christ, the juil quick and the dead.' He 



then depicted hi nt state, and his presentiment 



of an approaching maitvidom: and alter requesting the
