2 Timothy
Second Timothy is Paul’s final letter, written shortly before his execution in Rome, and it is a poignant call for Timothy to remain courageous and faithful in the face of suffering and declining commitment from others. Paul urges Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift of God within him and to be unafraid of persecution, using his own life as an example of faithful endurance. He commands Timothy to faithfully preach the Word of God, even when it is unpopular, and to appoint reliable men who can continue to teach future generations. This letter is a moving testimony to Paul's unwavering faith and a powerful, final charge to a young minister to preserve the Gospel legacy.
