|

epistle Paul wrote to Timothy from Rome, when he was a prisoner
|
||
there and in danger of his life; this is evident from these words,
|
||
<i>I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at
|
||
hand,</i> <scripRef id="iiTim.i-p3.2" osisRef="Bible:2Tim.4.6" parsed="|2Tim|4|6|0|0" passage="2Ti 4:6"><i>ch.</i> iv. 6</scripRef>.
|
||
It appears that his removal out of this world, in his own
|
||
apprehension, was not far off, especially considering the rage and
|
||
malice of his persecutors; and that he had been brought before the
|
||
emperor Nero, which he calls <i>his first answer, when no man stood
|
||
with him, but all men forsook him,</i> <scripRef id="iiTim.i-p3.3" osisRef="Bible:2Tim.4.16" parsed="|2Tim|4|16|0|0" passage="2Ti 4:16"><i>ch.</i> iv. 16</scripRef>. And interpreters agree
|
||
that this was the last epistle he wrote. Where Timothy now was is
|
||
not certain. The scope of this epistle somewhat differs from that
|
||
of the former, not so much relating to his office as an evangelist
|
||
as to his personal conduct and behaviour.</p>
