# Connecting Statement:
Paul begins to encourage Timothy to trust God.
# I am placing this command before you
Paul speaks of his instructions as if he could physically put them in front of Timothy. Alternate translation: "I am entrusting you with this command" or "This is what I am commanding you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"I am entrusting you with this command" or "This is what I am commanding you"
# my child
Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though Paul is the father and Timothy is the child. It is also likely that Timothy was converted to Christ by Paul, and so this is why Paul considered him like his own child. Alternate translation: "who is truly like my child" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"who is truly like my child"
# in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "in agreement with what other believers prophesied about you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
"in agreement with what other believers prophesied about you"
# fight the good fight
Paul speaks about Timothy working for the Lord as if he were a soldier fighting a battle. Alternate translation: "continue to work hard for the Lord" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"continue to work hard for the Lord"
