‘s susceptible of the meaning ‘‘ Thou wert attracted as a disciple to me on account of’’. It is not necessarily im- plied that Timothy had copied his master in all these respects. The A.V., Thou hast fully known, follows the A.V. of Luke i. 3. This translation fails to bring out the appeal to Timothy’s loyalty which underlies the passage. The aorist is appropriate here, because St. Paul is recalling to Timothy’s recollection the definite occasion in the past when the youth cast in his lot with him. He is not thinking, as in 1 Tim. iv. 6, of Timothy’s consistent discipleship up to the moment of writing. Bengel quotes aptly 2 Macc. ix. 27, παρακολου- θοῦντα τῇ ἐμῇ προαιρέσει. (So cod. Venetus: A has συνσταθέντα for παρα- κολ.) This limitation of the reference explains why St. Paul mentions only the places in which he suffered on his first missionary journey.
διδασκαλίᾳ: See note on 1 Tim. i. 10.
ἀγωγῇ: conduct (R.V.). The Α.Υ., manner of life has perhaps reference to guiding principles of conduct rather than to the external expression of them, which is meant here.
προθέσει : For πρόθεσις in this sense of human purpose see reff. Here it means what St. Paul had set before him- self as the aim of his life. In Rom. viii. 28; 1x. τπτ ΕΡΕ. 1. ΤΙ, ii: It, 2 Lim. 1. 9 the word is used of God’s eternal purpose for man.
ὑπομονῇ : See on τ Tim. vi. 11.
Ver. 11. ᾽Αντιοχείᾳ: Acts xiii. 14, 45, 50; ᾿Ικονίῳ : Acts xiv. 1, 2,5; Λύστροις: Acts xiv. 6, το.
οἵους διωγμούς : There is no necessity to supply, with Alf., “ Thou sawest”’.
καί: and yet. The verse is an echo
of Ps. xxxili. (xxxiv.) 18, ὁ Κύριος .. «. ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτῶν ἐρύσατο αὐτούς. See also reff.
Ver. 12. This verse is an interesting example of the effect of association of ideas. St. Paul’s teaching after his per- secutions at Antioch, etc., had strongly emphasised this topic. St. Luke (Acts xiv. 22) actually repeats the very words * used by the preachers, ‘‘ Through many tribulations we must enter into the king- dom of God”. Consistency in the life in Christ must necessarily be always op- posed by the world. θέλοντες is em- phatic, as Ell. notes, ‘‘ whose will is’’. Cf. Luke xiv. 28, John vii. 17.
