2 Timothy / Question
Question source
2 Timothy
Paul says, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” in 2 Timothy 4:7. He connects this with the crown of righteousness that the Lord will award on that day in 2 Timothy 4:8. The statements summarize Paul’s completed course as he expects his death soon in 2 Timothy 4:6.
6For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure has come.
7I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
8From now on, there is stored up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing.
