Paul looked past his own circumstances to express concern for the churches and specifically for Timothy. Paul wanted to use his last words to encourage Timothy, and all other believers, to persevere in faith (2 Timothy 3:14) and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 4:2).
Ginamit ni Pablo ang kanyang mga huling pananalita upang palakasin ang loob ni Timoteo at iba pang mananampalataya upang magpatuloy sila sa kanilang pananampalataya (2 Timoteo 3:14) at upang ipahayag ang Ebanghelyo ni Hesu Kristo (2 Timoteo 4:2).
