2 Timothy 1:11

1:11 For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher.

2 Timothy 2:7

2:7 Think about what I am saying and the Lord will give you understanding of all this.


tn Grk “for which.”

tc Most mss (א2 C D F G Ψ 1739 1881 Ï latt sy co) have ἐθνῶν (eqnwn, “of the Gentiles”) after “teacher.” The shorter reading has poorer external credentials (א* A I 1175 pc), but is preferred because ἐθνῶν probably represents a gloss added by copyists familiar with 1 Tim 2:7. There is no easy explanation for the omission of the word if it were original here.

tn The Greek word here usually means “for,” but is used in this verse for a milder continuation of thought.

tn Grk “in all things.”
