Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Timothy 2:18

_ _ erredGreek, “missed the aim” (see 1 Timothy 6:21).

_ _ is past already — has already taken place. The beginnings of the subsequent Gnostic heresy already existed. They “wrested” (2 Peter 3:16) Paul’s own words (Romans 6:4; Ephesians 2:6; Colossians 2:12) “to their own destruction,” as though the resurrection was merely the spiritual raising of souls from the death of sin. Compare 1 Corinthians 15:12, where he shows all our hopes of future glory rest on the literal reality of the resurrection. To believe it past (as the Seleucians or Hermians did, according to Augustine [Epistles, 119.55, To Januarius, 4]), is to deny it in its true sense.

_ _ overthrow — trying to subvert “the foundation” on which alone faith can rest secure (2 Timothy 2:19; compare Titus 1:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Timothy 2:14-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Timothy 2:18

Saying the resurrection is already past — Perhaps asserting that it is only the spiritual passing from death unto life.
