“But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,”
King James Version (KJV)
3:8 Several ancient writers speak of Jannes and Jambres, as the chief of the Egyptian magicians. Men of corrupt minds - Impure notions and wicked inclinations. Void of judgment - Quite ignorant, as well as careless, of true, spiritual religion.
3:9 They shall proceed no farther - In gaining proselytes.
3:12 All that are resolved to live godly - Therefore count the cost. Art thou resolved? In Christ - Out of Christ there is no godliness. Shall suffer persecution - More or less. There is no exception. Either the truth of scripture fails, or those that think they are religious, and are not persecuted, in some shape or other, on that very account, deceive themselves.
2Ti 3:10 Thou hast fully known my doctrine. "Thou didst follow my teaching" (Revised Version). Timothy had known his teaching and manner of life, and followed it.
