2 Timoteo 1:11

11 Y Dios me eligió para que sea predicador, apóstol y maestro de esta Buena Noticia.

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 Pues Dios nos salvó y nos llamó para vivir una vida santa. No lo hizo porque lo mereciéramos, sino porque ese era su plan desde antes del comienzo del tiempo, para mostrarnos su gracia por medio de Cristo Jesús;

10 y ahora todo esto él nos lo ha hecho evidente mediante la venida de Cristo Jesús, nuestro Salvador. Destruyó el poder de la muerte e iluminó el camino a la vida y a la inmortalidad por medio de la Buena Noticia.

11 Y Dios me eligió para que sea predicador, apóstol y maestro de esta Buena Noticia.

12 Por eso estoy sufriendo aquí, en prisión; pero no me avergüenzo de ello, porque yo sé en quién he puesto mi confianza y estoy seguro de que él es capaz de guardar lo que le he confiado
hasta el día de su regreso.

13 Aférrate al modelo de la sana enseñanza que aprendiste de mí, un modelo formado por la fe y el amor que tienes en Cristo Jesús.
