Govett on Second Timothy
This 90-page soft cover book by Robert Govett is not a verse-by-verse exposition but rather a thematic spotlight on the portions so common in Paul’s epistles yet so overlooked by believers: the warnings and conditions for believers’ attaining to the reward of the millennial kingdom, for which he was about to be martyred.
A few examples suffice:
“If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him. If we shall deny Him, He also will deny us” (2 Tim. 2:12). In “we” and “us” Paul includes and warns also himself.
“Let everyone who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity” (2:19). What if he does not? He will hear “I never knew you, depart from Me, you workers of iniquity” (Matt. 7:21-23). “He will be saved, yet so as through fire” (1 Cor. 3:15).
