2 Timóteo 1
John Damascene
2 Timóteo 1:1
He wrote to him while he was hindered and bound in Rome. And therefore he urged him for a second letter. He begins by praising the student, that he is a slave to Christ who dwells above.
2 Timóteo 1:8
He said that if he suffers that he must not be ashamed.
2 Timóteo 1:14
Before all things, keep that truth which is committed to your trust, the holy Word of faith by which you have been taught and instructed. And let no weeds of heresy grow up among you, but preserve the heavenly seed pure and sincere, that it may yield a great harvest to the master, when he comes to demand account of our lives. He shall reward us according to our deeds, when the righteous shall shine forth as the sun, but darkness and everlasting shame shall cover the sinners. — BARLAAM AND IOASAPH 36.335
