Paul was in a prison somewhere in Rome. He was not under house arrest, as he was when he wrote his first letter to Timothy; he was now chained as a common criminal (2 Timothy 2:9) in a cold cell (2 Timothy 4:13). Although Paul was lonely (2 Timothy 4:16), his heart was for the Lord, and for the ministry in Ephesus under Timothy’s leadership. He knew that he would not come out of prison alive (2 Timothy 4:6-8) but wanted to finish his life and ministry well – and to urge Timothy to stay strong and firm in the faith, and also to train others for Gospel ministry (2 Timothy 2:1-2).
