1. Son with dependence 2:1,2
2. Soldier with determination 2:3,4
3. Sprinter with discipline 2:5
4. Sower with deliberation 2:6
5. Sufferer with dedication 2:7-14
6. Student with diligence 2:15-18
7. Saint with distinction 2:19-23
8. Servant with devotion 2:24-26
As a saint Timothy was to be set apart or distinguished as a vessel of honor. As such he was:
1. sanctified – set apart for God’s purpose
2. submitted – given to obedience to the Master
3. suitable – prepared to be used for God’s glory
Staying in this condition involved:
1. Fleeing (negative) – youthful lusts – desires, temptations to sin
2. Following (positive) – righteousness, faith, charity, peace
3. Friends – avoiding foolish, choosing wise

God has called me to be a saint that is distinctively His. I want to be a vessel unto honor.
