This is the last of Paul's "pastoral letters" and the last of his letters as he neared execution. It is more personal than the other pastoral letters, and shows a concern for Timothy and Christ's Church in general. It is a message of warning, comfort and encouragement, and gives confidence to every Christian in troubled times through the Word! Our summary verse is from 2 Timothy 3:16: “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” – (ESV)
