2 Timothy
Paul’s last letter — guard the deposit, and preach the word.
About 2 Timothy
Second Timothy reads as a final charge, written with execution in view and with several companions gone. Paul urges Timothy to fan into flame the gift he has, to endure suffering, and to entrust the message to reliable people who can teach others. It contains the clearest New Testament statement about Scripture being God-breathed and useful, and ends with the image of a race finished and a faith kept.
