Second Timothy.

This letter was written from Rome just before his martyrdom A. D. 67.
It was written to further instruct Timothy and to explain his own
personal affairs. It is the last letter written by Paul, a sort of
last will and testimony and is of great importance as it tells as how
he fared just before his death. It is more personal in tone than First
Timothy and shows us how very pitiable was his plight in these last
days.
