τύπος γίνου: For the sentiment, com- pare reff. and 1 Cor. iv. 16, Phil. iv. 9.

τύπος is followed by the genitive of the person for whose edification the τύπος exists in I Cor. x. 6, 1 Pet. v. 3.

In the following enumeration, λόγος is coupled with ἀναστροφή as words with deeds (Rom. xv. 18; Col. iii. 17). These refer to Timothy’s public life; while love, faith and purity refer to his private life, in reference to which they are found in conjunction in il. 15.

Ver. 13. ἕως ἔρχομαι: For ἕως with present indic, instead of fut. see Winer- Moulton, Grammar, p. 370. Cf. Luke xix. 13, John xxi. 22, 23.

ἀνάγνωσις, παράκλησις, διδασκαλία are the three elements in the ministry of the word: (a) reading aloud of Scripture (Luke iv. 16; Acts ΧΙ. 15; 2 Cor. iil. 14, see Moulton and Milligan, Expositor, vii., v. 262); (b) exhortation based on the reading, and appealing to the moral sense (2 Tim. iv. 2 ; Justin Martyr, Afol. i. 67) ; (c) teaching, appealing to the intellect, see note on chap. i. το. Exhortation and teaching are similarly joined in Rom. xii. 7, 8, and τ Tim. vi. 2.

Ver. 14. μὴ ἀμέλει: J. H. Moulton (Grammar, vol. i. p. 122 sqq.), distingui- shes (a) μή with the pres. imperat, ‘‘ Do not go on doing so and so,” ¢.g., 1 Tim. Vv. 22, 23, from (δ) μή with the aor. sub- junctive, ‘‘ Do not begin to do it” (1 Tim. v. I; 2 Tim.i. 8). In this case, μὴ ἀμέλει is equivalent to πάντοτε μελέτα. Timothy’s χάρισμα lay in his commis- sion to rule and in his powers as a preacher. The χάρισμα was given by God; in this particular case the formal and solemn assumption of its use was accompanied by the indication of proph- ecy addressed to the ear, and by the
