Titus had probably gone to Del- matia, on the east coast of the Adâ€" riatic, on some mission for Paul. He remained one of the most trust- ed helpers of the apostle, who had him for a, companion in a journey through the East after the first im- prisonment. At; that time Titus was left behind to organize the church in Crete, from which Paul 10. Demas was with Paul during some of the first imprisonment, and figures in the greetings to the C50- lossians (4. 14), and in the letter to Philemon (24). Tradition says that his shrinking from his duty, and returning to Thessalonica, which was possibly his home, end- ed in.t0ta1 apostasy. Crescens is knowh only by this reference. 1 At that dayâ€"A reiterated word of ‘the Old Testament, connected with Judgment and the setting up of the Messianic kingdom. In the New Testament it gains new meaning by its association with the personal re- turn of Christ at the end of the world. In the early church, to be able to stand “before our Lord Jesus, at his coming” was a great aspiration and controlling motive. To have loved his appearing was a touchstone of judgment. 9-15. Paul bids Timothy make a speedy journey to him, bringing certain necessary articles, and warns him against an enemy. 7, 8. At the close of his life he looks back upon his career as a contest similar to those with which every inhabitant of Rome was fa- ‘miliar. The good fight is not that of battle, but the strife of the games. Remembering the words of his Lord, “It is finished,” he comes Victoriously to the end of the course, bearing safe the faith which had been intrusted as a precious de- posit to his keeping (1 Tim. 1. ll; 6. 20). Then, resuming the langu- age of the games, he points to the crown which is to be his reward for righteousness, just as the vic- torious athlete wears the crown of physical supremacy. 6. Already being offeredâ€"He is thinking of his approaching mar- tyrdom, and describes it in terms of the drink offerings of the Jews and heathen, poured out upon their sacrifices. (Compare Phil: 2. 17). 7 Fulfill thy ministryâ€"Give faith- ful hegd to fevery phase of the work. Do the work of an evangelist - Not the specific work of the office called by that name, but the pro« claiming of the gospel which was still incumbent upon Timothy, though he had attained a loftier position. 5.

Sound doctrineâ€"As opposed to the false teaching which even then wall beginning to crystallize into the fables (4) of the Gnostics. Reproveâ€"Convict of error in be- lief or conduct. (Compare 2 Tim. 3. 16). Bishop Ellicott thus enumv crates the uses of Scripture: it teaches the ignorant, convicts the evil and prejudiced, corrects the fallen, and trains in righteousness all men. In order to make the Bible serve these purposes, one must exercise all long-suffering; that is, patience under all circumâ€" stances. Be urgent in season, out of sea- sonâ€"“The voice said, Cry.” Preaching must be passionate if it would be potent. And that, whe- ther the opportunity is apparent or not. If the door is not open, storm it. 2. Preach the wordâ€"The perfect, authoritative message of the gospel. Paul has just (2 Tim. 3. 16) declar- ed the profitableness of all inspired Scripture. 1. I charge theeâ€"A word full of solemnity, emphasized by the fact that the adjuration to Timothy is uttered in the sight of an all-seeing God, and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge all men, both those dead and those who will be living at Christ‘s appearing, which, together with the final, glorious kingdom, is invoked to impress Timothy with the {eight of his responsibility. Verses 1-8. Believeing his own end to be not far off, Paul exhorts Tim- othy to teach the truth with renew- ed firmness, especially as a period 01' error is fast approaching. Lesson XI.
