Paperback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. P. Doddridge, D.D, Vol. 10 of 10: The Family Expositor, Containing a Paraphrase on the Second Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy Timothy against the difficulties he might be called to encounter, he lays open the motives and hopes by which he himself was support ed under the sufferings he bore in defence of the gospel; assuring him, that those who su iered with Christ should also be glorgfied with him. To this he adds some directions in relation to his mi nistry; advising him in particular to avoid and discourage all those empty liarangues and idle controversies which only served to con found the mind, and by which some had been seduced from the purity of the Christian faith, ver. 8 - 18. The apostle then takes occasion, from a general view of the great design and tendency of the gospel, to urge the necessity of holiness in all Christians, and especially in ministers; and recommends to the'latter the utmost gentleness and meekness in their attempts to recover sinners from the miserable condition into which they were fallen, ver. 19, to 1116 end. - And, to make him more sensible of the importance of exert ing himselfin order to maintain the purity and honour of religion, he assures him that a great declension and apostacy was to prevail in the Christian world; and that false teachers were rising up in it, by whose wicked artifices many weak persons were deceived and led astray; reminding him at the same time of that patience and fortitude which he had seen him discover amidst the severest persecutions; chap. Iii. L - l3. To guard Timothy against these seducers, and to preserve the church from their fatal in uence, Paul recommends to him the study of the scriptures as of the utt most importance to all the purposes of Christian edification; and charges him in a solemn manner to use the utmost diligence in all the parts of his ministerial work; declaring at the same time, for his encouragement, the satisfaction with which he re ecred on his own fidelity in the nearest views of martyrdom for the truth, ver. 14. Chap. Iv. 1 - 8. The apostle concludes this epz'stle with re questing Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, in order to assist and comfort him under the unworthy treatment he had met with from some of his Christian brethren; giving him an account of the manner in which he had, in his late appearance before the heathen magistrate at Rome, been deserted by men, but supported by Christ; and, having expressed his cheerful confidence that he should be safely conducted to the presence of his Lord, he adds some particular salutations, and closes with his usual benediction, ver. 9, to the em!

Seve ral learned writers, among whom are Hammond, Lightfoot, and Cave, have ~maintained the former opinion; while others have argued in favour of the latter, from chap. I. 18, where Paul speak ing of Onesiphorus, says, he sought him diligently at Rome, which they apprehend imp'ies, that the apostle was kept under so close a confinement at this time, that few knew where he was to he found: whereas in that imprisonment, of which Luke gives an account in the conclusion of his history, We are told, He dwell in a lured house, receiving all that came to him, (acts xxviii. 31g.)About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
