Paul's Second Letter to Timothy

Overview

Paul wrote a second letter to Timothy shortly before his death in about 67 AD. Imprisoned in Rome, Paul recognized that his life was nearing its end, so he drafted his “last words” to Timothy. Paul didn’t focus on his own circumstances; rather, he focused his concern on all the churches he planted over the years. In the end, Paul used this last letter to encourage Timothy (and all believers) to persevere in their faith and continue proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
