1 tn Grk “in you.” 2 tn 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.” sn These prophetic words perhaps spoke of what God would do through Timothy in his ministry (cf. 1 Tim 1:18). 3 tn Grk “with the imposition of the hands of the presbytery” (i.e., the council of elders). |
