Bible Commentary for 2 Timothy 4:8

Wesley's Notes for 2 Timothy 4:8


4:8 The crown of that righteousness - Which God has imputed to me and wrought in me. Will render to all - This increases the joy of Paul, and encourages Timotheus. Many of these St. Paul himself had gained. That have loved his appearing - Which only a real Christian can do. I say a real Christian, to comply with the mode of the times: else they would not understand, although the word Christian necessarily implies whatsoever is holy, as God is holy. Strictly speaking, to join real or sincere to a word of so complete an import, is grievously to debase its noble signification, and is like adding long to eternity or wide to immensity.



People's Bible Notes for 2 Timothy 4:8


2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me. As the successful competitor in the games receives a crown, so the crown awaited him. A crown of righteousness. The crown given for righteousness. The Lord, the righteous judge. He was about to die by the sentence of an unrighteous judge. The higher Judge would reverse the sentence and give him a crown. And not to me only. All can have the same hope. All who serve him, and would love to see him come as their vest friend, shall have the same crown.
