# 2 Timothy 02 General Notes #

#### Structure and formatting ####

Many translations set apart extended quotations, prayers, or songs by indenting them. The ULB indents words in 2:11-13 because they are the "trustworthy saying."

#### Special concepts in this chapter ####

##### We will reign with him #####
The faithful Christians are said to reign with Christ in the future. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faithful]])

#### Important figures of speech in this chapter ####

##### Analogies #####
Paul draws on several analogies in this chapter to present his teaching about living as a Christian. First he uses the analogy of a soldier, then an athlete, and then that of a farmer. A little further on in the chapter,  he also uses the analogy of different kinds of containers in a house, some for ordinary, everyday use, and others reserved for use on special occasions.
