2 Timothy 1:8-14, 2:8-13
Intro by Stott
In all three pastoral letters, Paul's overriding preoccupation is the church. Christ died "to purify for himself a people." Consequently, Paul is concerned with the life of the local church and particularly with the church's responsibility to guard and teach the truth. The church is "the pillar and foundation of the truth" its foundation to hold it firm and its pillar to thrust it high.
