In his second epistle to Timothy, Paul addresses Timothy as his dearly beloved son, and wishes him grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. He prays for Timothy both night and day; greatly desiring to see him before he is put to death. He is thankful for the faith that Timothy demonstrates, which he says was in his mother Eunice, and his grandmother Lois. He then reminds him of the gift of God, which was imparted when he laid hands on him and prayed. In this epistle, Paul addresses guidance for Timothy, wickedness in the last days, and with some final instructions says goodbye.

Paul called Timothy his “true son in the faith.” He took Timothy as one of his companions on the third missionary journey and the most affectionate relations between them were sustained to the end of the apostle’s life. His last epistle was to this disciple. Timothy was stationed at Ephesus where heretical teachers carried on their destructive work. In this epistle the apostle gives this young pastor just the instruction needed to meet the needs of the situation in Ephesus. He does not discuss doctrines, but gives direction for the training and governing of the church.

While Paul proceeded to Corinth, he sent Timothy to ascertain the condition in this new church. Timothy joined Paul in Corinth and reported the steadfastness of the faith of these believers, but that they were disturbed, and were laboring under mistaken ideas relative to the Second Coming of Christ. They were under the impression that this great event was soon to occur and raised the question, what about those who had died having a part in His glorious coming and kingdom? To set their at minds at rest on this point Ploniaaul wrote this first letter. It was the first of thirteen epistles written in 52 or 53 AD, or about eighteen years after his conversion. It was written at Corinth where Paul spent eighteen months.
