2 Timóteo 1
Ambrosiaster · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
2 Timóteo 1:3
When Paul persecuted the church, he did it for the love of God, not out of malevolence. In this way he served God "in his ancestors" and "from his ancestors," as Levi was served in Abraham, when he gave and accepted tithes from Melchizedek. — COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND LETTER TO TIMOTHY
2 Timóteo 1:6
Paul urges Timothy to nurture his spirit with eagerness of mind, rejoicing in his faith, just as he once rejoiced in the newness of his ordination. — COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND LETTER TO TIMOTHY
2 Timóteo 1:9
When Paul says that we are not called according to our works, he means that all who are called are sinners, though by comparison with others some were found to be more worthy. With regard to God's own grace, however, all were totally unworthy. — COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND LETTER TO TIMOTHY
