2 Timothy 1 - Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible

The apostle foretells the rise of dangerous enemies to the gospel.

The apostle mentions the constancy of Onesiphorus; he oft refreshed him with his letters, and counsels, and comforts, and was not ashamed of him. A good man will seek to do good. The day of death and judgment is an awful day. And if we would have mercy then, we must seek for it now of the Lord. The best we can ask, for ourselves or our friends, is, that the Lord will grant that we and they may find mercy of the Lord, when called to pass out of time into eternity, and to appear before

the judgment seat of Christ.
