The epistle of Second Timothy is considered to be one of Paul’s most personal letters. He is writing during his second and final imprisonment to his trusted and beloved son in the faith. Paul knows his execution is imminent. His concern is not for himself, but for Timothy, who must continue in the spiritual battle. His theme, “the good soldier of Jesus Christ” follows that of first Timothy, “Fight the good fight” (1Ti 1:18; 1Ti 6:12).

Ephesians #20
God wants us to grow up (Eph 4:13-16). Children (infants) can be deceived (Eph 4:14, 2Co 11:3). Unity results from knowledge of Jesus Christ. We're to speak the truth in love (Eph 4:15, Eph 5:18-19, Col 3:14-17). When we do we serve the body and the head, Jesus Christ, better.
