2 Timoteo 1:1

Pablo, apóstol de Cristo Jesús por la voluntad de Dios, según la promesa de vida en Cristo Jesús,

(un) Pablo. El apóstol Pablo escribió tres cartas pastorales. Los dos primeros fueron enviados a Timoteo y el tercero a Tito. Estas cartas probablemente fueron escritas desde una prisión romana alrededor del año 64 d.C.

(b) un apóstol; ver entrada for 1 Cor. 1:1.

(d) La vida en Cristo Jesús. Abundant, divine life is one of the many blessings we receive as a result of being in union with Christ. See entry for Philemon 1:6.

2 Timoteo 1:2

A Timoteo, mi amado hijo: Gracia, misericordia y paz de Dios Padre y de Cristo Jesús Señor nuestro.

(una) Timoteo. Paul met Timothy on his second visit to Lystra (Acts 16:1). On his first visit to Lystra, Paul had been stoned to death and raised from the dead (Acts 14:19-20). Perhaps the young Timothy had witnessed this and became a believer as a result. By the time Paul returned to Lystra a second time, Timothy had matured into a well-regarded Christian. Paul asked Timothy to join him and Silas on their travels (Acts 16:2-3).

Paul mentored Timothy and the young man took an active role in the planting and strengthening of churches. When Paul left Asia to travel to Macedonia, he left Timothy in charge of the church he had planted at Ephesus (1 Tim. 1:3). Later Paul wrote to him with instructions on how to deal with the sorts of issues that pastors face, such as how to deal with false teachers and appoint church leaders.

(si) Mi amado. Ver entrada for Rom. 1:7.

(d) Gracia, misericordia y paz. El apóstol de la gracia comenzaba todas sus cartas con este amable saludo. Ver entrada for Rom. 1:7.

(mi) Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor. Paul introduces the Lord Jesus Christ at the start of all his letters, and he encourages his readers to confess Jesus as Lord (Rom. 10:9, Php. 2:12). True preachers reveal Jesus as Lord of all.

Jesus is not merely a teacher or historical figure. He is the exalted Son of God and his Name is above all names (Php. 2:9). Before the cross, Jesus was known as the Christ or anointed one. But after the cross, Jesus is the Lord or Kyrios o “el que es supremo sobre todo”.

2 Timothy 1:3

I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,

(una) A clear conscience is one that is yielded to the leading of the Holy Spirit. See entrada for Conscience.

(si) Forefathers. The Old Testament Jews who served the Lord under the old law covenant.

2 Timoteo 1:5

Porque me acuerdo de la fe sincera que hay en ti, que habitó primero en tu abuela Loida y en tu madre Eunice, y estoy seguro de que también está en ti.

fe sincera. Una fe sincera y no fingida es una fe que se basa en la justicia de Cristo.

2 Timoteo 1:9

quien nos salvó y llamó con llamamiento santo, no conforme a nuestras obras, sino según el propósito suyo y la gracia que nos fue dada en Cristo Jesús desde toda la eternidad,

(una) quien nos ha salvado. Elsewhere Paul writes of the hope of salvation (1 Th. 5:8) and the hope of eternal life (Tit. 1:2, 3:7), as though our salvation wasn’t a done deal. But since this hope is based on the unbreakable promises of God, Paul can also speak of our salvation in the past tense, as he does here. If God has saved you, you are well and truly saved.

(si) No según nuestras obras.. Since we are not saved on account of our good works (Rom. 11:6, 2 Tim: 1:9), we cannot be unsaved on account of our bad works.

(C) Su propio propósito y gracia. We stand wholly on the grace of God. Everything we need for life and godliness, including salvation, acceptance, and sanctification, comes freely to us through our knowledge of Christ Jesus (Eph. 1:3, 2 Pet. 1:3). This is why it is essential that we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12).

(d) en cristo jesus; ver entrada for 2 Tim. 2:1.

2 Timoteo 1:10

pero ahora ha sido manifestada por la aparición de nuestro Salvador Cristo Jesús, quien quitó la muerte y sacó a luz la vida y la inmortalidad por el evangelio,

(una) Muerte abolida. First Adam introduced death; Last Adam abolished death (Rom. 5:12, 6:9).

(si) Trajo vida. Two kinds of life are described in the Bible; the psuche- or soul life we inherited from Adam and the zoe- or spirit life that comes from God (John 5:26). It’s the second kind of life that is described here. See entrada para la Vida Nueva.

(C) Luz a través del evangelio. Jesús es la Luz del mundo que brilla a través del evangelio. Ver entrada for John 9:5.

(d) El Evangelio; ver entrada para El Evangelio.

2 Timoteo 1:13

Conservad la norma de las sanas palabras que oísteis de mí, en la fe y el amor que es en Cristo Jesús.

(una) Fe y amor. Es el amor inagotable de Dios lo que nos inspira a confiar en él (ver entrada for 1 John 4:16). Since the love of God is revealed in Jesus Christ (John 17:26), both faith and love are found in Christ Jesus. Faith comes from hearing the good news of Jesus Christ (Rom. 10:17).

(si) en cristo jesus. La gracia, la fe y el amor de nuestro Señor se encuentran en Cristo Jesús, es decir, se experimentan en nuestra unión con el Señor. Ver entrada para Unión.

2 Timoteo 1:14

Custodia, por el Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros, el tesoro que te ha sido confiado.

(una) El Espíritu Santo que habita en nosotros. Tu cuerpo es la santa morada del Espíritu Santo (cf. entrada for 1 Cor. 6:19).

(si) El tesoro we guard is the revelation of grace. In Timothy’s case, it was the message he had heard from Paul (see previous verse). If we fail to guard this treasure, there is a danger we will stray from the faith (1 Tim. 6:21).
