THE SECOND EPISTLE OF PAUL TO TIMOTHY - Chapter 2 - Verse 11

Verse 11. It is a faithful saying. Or, rather, that which he was about to say was worthy of entire credence and profound attention. See Barnes "1 Ti 1:15".

The object is, to encourage Timothy to bear trials by the hope of salvation.

For if we be dead with him. See Barnes "Ro 6:8".

We shall also live with him. This was a sort of maxim, or a settled point, which is often referred to in the Bible. See Barnes "Ro 6:3".

See Barnes "Ro 6:4, See Barnes "Ro 6:5"; See Barnes "John 11:25"; See Barnes "1 Th 4:14".
