This second letter from Paul to Timothy is a very personal letter. Paul’s circumstances had changed and he was put in prison instead of the more comfortable house arrest he had gone through earlier. Paul was lonely and dreading the cold winter months ahead. He feared for his own life under the new wicked Roman emperor Nero. Paul’s message was his last message of encouragement and of warnings to Timothy.

Paul wrote this second letter to the Church at Corinth several months after writing his first letter. He asked that the letter also be shared with the other surrounding churches.

His letter focused on Christ who had given Paul his ministry and included instructions on how to stand up against the false teachers who were attempting to derail their faith.
