SUMMARY
=======
In the New Testament, the Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy, usually referred to simply as Second Timothy and often written 2 Timothy or II Timothy, is one of the three Pastoral Epistles traditionally attributed to Saint Paul.  The three epistles are called "pastoral" because they relate to the conduct of church leaders, thought of as pastors (literally  shepherds).  It is traditionally considered to be the last epistle he wrote before his death.  It is addressed to Timothy, a fellow missionary.The Epistle advocates endurance as the main quality for a preacher of the gospel.  As a good soldier for Jesus Christ, he is to be pure, noble, and ready to take his share of suffering.  In Paul's farewell, he describes himself as at the end of his career and awaiting the crown of righteousness.Although the Pastorals are written under Paul's name, they are different from his other epistles, and since the early 19th century, scholars have increasingly seen them as the work of an unknown student of Paul's doctrine.  They are speculated to have been written between 90 and 140. They do not address Paul's common themes, such as the believers' unity with Christ, and they reflect a church hierarchy that is more organized and defined than the church was in Paul's time.  Sole scholars refer to the assumedly pseudonymous author as "the Pastor".  Some recent scholarship has concluded that Paul probably used an amanuensis, or secretary, in writing his letters which was a common practice in the first century.
