Context of 2 Timothy 1:15

13You have heard me tell you about God's true message. Let those words be an example to you, so that you also teach what is true. Do this because you belong to Christ Jesus. Continue to trust him and to love his people. 14God has given you his good message to keep safe. God's Holy Spirit, who lives in us, will help you to keep it safe. You know that almost all the believers in Asia region have turned against me. They include Phygelus and Hermogenes. 16But Onesiphorus has stayed to help me. I pray that the Lord will be kind to his family. He often came to help me not to be sad. I am in prison, but he was not ashamed to help me. 17When he came here to Rome, he looked carefully for me until he found me.

Commentaries on 2 Timothy 1:15

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15All they which are in Asia - It seems as if the apostle must refer to the Asiatic Christians which were then at Rome, or had been lately there. Finding the apostle in disgrace, and thinking it dangerous to own him or his cause, they neither visited him, or confessed Christianity. He cannot be speaking of any general defection of the Asiatic Churches, but of those Asiatics who had professed a particular friendship for him. Phygellus and Hermogenes - These…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me - That is, in that part of Asia Minor of which Ephesus was the capital. The name Asia was often given particularly to that part of Asia Minor; see the notes at Acts 2:9; Acts 16:6. This passage proves that Timothy was somewhere in that region when this Epistle was written to him, for otherwise he could not be supposed to Know what is here said. When Paul says that “all” were turned…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 15-18Verses 15-18 The apostle mentions the constancy of Onesiphorus; he oft refreshed him with his letters, and counsels, and comforts, and was not ashamed of him. A good man will seek to do good. The day of death and judgment is an awful day. And if we would have mercy then, we must seek for it now of the Lord. The best we can ask, for ourselves or our friends, is, that the Lord will grant that we and they may find mercy of the Lord, when called to pass out…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15everyone … has deserted me: This happened either in Rome or in the province of Asia Minor when authorities arrested Paul. Paul might have considered this as another way his life followed Christ’s pattern (see Matthew 26:31, 56). Phygelus and Hermogenes are otherwise unknown. The context might imply that they were church leaders who sided with the opponents of Paul (2 Timothy 1:11–14).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1515. all they which are in Asia--Proconsular Asia; "all who are there now, when they were in Rome (not 'be' or 'are,' but) turned from me" then; were "ashamed of my chain," in contrast to Onesiphorus; did not stand with me but forsook me (2Ti 4:16). It is possible that the occasion of their turning from him was at his apprehension in Nicopolis, whither they had escorted him on his way to Rome, but from which they turned back to Asia. A hint to Timothy, now…Read the comment
