2 Timoteo 1:11

11 del cual yo soy puesto predicador, y apóstol, y maestro de los gentiles

2 Timoteo 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Timothy 1:11

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher
Both from eternity, in the counsel and purpose of God, ( Acts 9:15 ) and in time, by the church at Antioch, and the prophets in it, according to the express order of the Holy Ghost, ( Acts 13:2 ) . And if ever there was a preacher of the Gospel, Paul was one; he preached purely, powerfully, publicly, constantly, boldly, and with all faithfulness and integrity:

and an apostle;
that is, of the Gentiles, as follows, and as he elsewhere styles himself, ( Romans 11:13 ) for it does not run so smooth and easy to connect this with the word Gospel. In ( 2 Timothy 1:1 ) , he is called the apostle of Jesus Christ, because he was sent by him; and here the apostle of the Gentiles, because, he was sent to them; and this by the same appointment, by which he became a preacher:

and a teacher of the Gentiles;
though all the apostles, by their commission, were sent to teach all nations, or the Gentiles in the several parts of the world, as well as Jews; yet the apostle was eminently a teacher of them; his work chiefly lay among them; the Gospel of the uncircumcision, or the ministration of the Gospel to the uncircumcised Gentiles, was committed to him; and he was a teacher of them in faith and verity, as in ( 1 Timothy 2:7 ) . The Alexandrian copy only reads, "and a teacher".

2 Timoteo 1:11 In-Context

9 que nos ha librado, y nos llamó a la santa vocación; no por nuestras obras, sino según el intento suyo y por la gracia, la cual nos es dada en Cristo Jesús antes de los tiempos de los siglos

10 mas ahora es manifestada por la venida de nuestro Salvador, Jesús el Cristo, el cual asimismo anuló la muerte, y sacó a luz la vida y la incorrupción por el Evangelio

11 del cual yo soy puesto predicador, y apóstol, y maestro de los gentiles

12 Por lo cual así mismo padezco esto, pero no me avergüenzo; porque yo sé a quién he creído, y estoy cierto que es poderoso para guardar mi depósito para aquel día

13 Retén la forma de las sanas palabras que de mí oíste, en la fe y caridad que es en Cristo Jesús
