2 COR. 1. 1. And Timothy our brother, &c.
This is the second part of the Inscription, wherein we have the person conjoined in this Salutation, and he is described by his name Timothy, and by his relation, our brother.
THis is the second part of the Inscription, wherein we have the person conjoyned in this Salutation, and he is described by his name Timothy, and by his relation, our brother.
The Apostle doth in several Inscriptions in his Epistles likewise name this Timothy, not that he helped Paul in composing of them, but partly for Timothy's encouragement, to show the good esteem he had of him. As Nazianzen (if my memory fail not) in his Funeral Oration upon Basil, declaring the excellency that was in him, said, If Basil had lived in Paul's time, he would have prefixed his name in his salutatory Prefaces, as he did Timothy and Silvanus, &c. And partly because Timothy, as to the Corinthians had a peculiar relation. For 1 Cor. 4. 17. Paul had sent him to them, to put them in remembrance of their duty; and it seemeth, being now returned again unto Paul, he informed him of the Churches estate there. So that Timothy might well be mentioned, as having some peculiar relation to their Church-affairs. In some other Epistles, he joineth other persons, is Sosthenes, &c. Yea, Gal. 1. he conjoineth all the brethren that were with him.
