Commentary

man of God--(See on Ti1 6:11). perfect, throughly furnished--Greek, "thoroughly perfected," and so "perfect." The man of God is perfectly accoutred out of Scripture for his work, whether he be a minister (compare Ti2 4:2 with Ti2 3:16) or a spiritual layman. No oral tradition is needed to be added. Next: 2 Timothy Chapter 4
