Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [2 Timothy: Chapter 2].
(\kenoph•nias\). See 1Ti 6:20. {Will proceed} (\prokopsousin\).
Future active of \prokopt•\, "will cut forward." See Ga 1:14; Ro
13:12. {Further in ungodliness} (\epi pleion asebeias\). "To
more of ungodliness." See Ro 1:18; 1Ti 2:2.
2:17 {Will eat} (\nom•n hexei\). "Will have (future active of
\ech•\) pasturage or increase" (\nom•\, old word from \nem•\, to
pasture, in N.T. only here and Joh 10:9). {As doth gangrene}
(\h•s gaggraina\). Late word (medical writers and Plutarch), only
here in N.T. From \gra•\ or \grain•\, to gnaw, to eat, an eating,
spreading disease. Hymenaeus is probably the one mentioned in
1Ti 1:20. Nothing is known of Philetus.
2:18 {Men who} (\hoitines\). "The very ones who." {Have erred}
(\•stoch•san\). "Missed the mark." First aorist active indicative
of \astoche•\, for which see 1Ti 1:6; 6:21. {That the
resurrection is past already} (\anastasin •d• gegonenai\). Second
perfect active infinitive of \ginomai\ in indirect assertion
after \legontes\ (saying) with the accusative of general
reference (\anastasin\). {Overthrow} (\anatrepousin\). See Tit
1:11.
2:19 {Howbeit} (\mentoi\). Strong adversative, "however." {Firm}
(\stereos\). Old adjective, solid, compact, in N.T. only here,
1Pe 5:9; Heb 5:12,14. See \stere•ma\ in Col 2:5. For
\themelios\ see 1Co 3:11; Rom 15:20; 1Ti 6:19. Cf. \hedrai•ma\
in 1Ti 3:15. {Seal} (\sphragis\). See 1Co 9:2; Ro 4:11.
{Knoweth} (\egn•\). Timeless aorist active indicative of
\gin•sk•\. Quotation from Nu 16:5. {Let every one depart}
(\apost•t• p•s\). Paraphrase of Nu 16:27; Isa 26:13; 52:11; Jer
20:9. Second aorist active imperative of \aphist•mi\
(intransitive use), "Let every one stand off from." Probably
another echo of the rebellion of Korah.
2:20 {In a great house} (\en megal•i oiki•i\). Metaphor of a
palace. He doubtless has the Kingdom of God in mind, but he works
out the metaphor of a great house of the rich and mighty.

same double use as here. {Of gold} (\chrus•\). Old contracted

Re 9:20. {Of earth} (\ostrakina\). Late adjective, from
\ostrakon\, baked clay, in LXX, in N.T. only here and 2Co 4:7.
