2 Timothy 1

Paul writes a second letter to Timothy, encouraging him to remain faithful to his ministry. Paul, in the twilight of his earthly journey, reminds his younger partner of the heritage he enjoys and the powerful courage and boldness that results from grounding in firm reliance on God. Timothy does not have to be ashamed of his work, his association with Paul, or of the people among whom he ministers. God remains faithful; Timothy is to reflect that faithfulness in his own life and work in the same way that others have done.
