Footnotes
- 16 Grk “reading.” The public reading of scripture refers to reading the scripture out loud in the church services. In a context where many were illiterate and few could afford private copies of scripture, such public reading was especially important.
- 17 Grk “in you.”
- 18 Grk “which was given to you through prophecy.” Here as in 2:15 the preposition “through” denotes not “means” but accompanying circumstances: “accompanied by prophecy.” These prophetic words perhaps spoke of what God would do through Timothy in his ministry (cf. 1 Tim 1:18).
- 19 Grk “with the imposition of the hands of the presbytery” (i.e., the council of elders).
