2 Timothy 01 General Notes

Special concepts in this chapter

Spiritual children

Paul calls Timothy his "son." Paul was very involved in discipling Timothy. Because of this relationship, he called him his "spiritual" son. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/disciple and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit)

Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
