The Key Word — σπουδάζω, spoudazōgenerated
The verb σπουδάζω (spoudazō) means to be eager or make an effort. It is an aorist active imperative, indicating a strong command for immediate action. This word conveys a sense of urgency and diligence, as seen in other New Testament passages like Galatians 2:10 and Ephesians 4:3.
The emphasis on effort suggests that Timothy should prioritize this visit, highlighting the importance of personal relationships in ministry. The use of the imperative form reinforces the necessity of acting promptly, especially given the impending winter.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The Berean Standard Bible translates the verse as 'Make every effort to come to me before winter.' This is echoed in the KJV with 'Do thy diligence to come before winter' and the ASV with 'Give diligence to come before winter.' All these versions convey a sense of urgency regarding Timothy's visit.
The translations differ slightly in their phrasing. The WEB uses 'Be diligent to come before winter,' while the BBE says, 'Do your best to come before the winter.' Each translation maintains the core message of urgency but varies in wording.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb is Σπούδασον, make every effort, which governs the entire verse. It is followed by an infinitive phrase ἐλθεῖν, to come, indicating what effort is to be made, and a prepositional phrase πρὸ χειμῶνος, before winter, specifying the time frame.
The remaining clauses include greetings from Eubulus and others, forming a compound structure. The noun phrases identify the subjects sending greetings, including Eubulus, Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
σπουδάζω also appears in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word בָּהַל (H926), meaning to hasten or be eager. This connection emphasizes the continuity of the concept of urgency across both Testaments.
The use of πρὸ in the New Testament aligns with its usage in the Septuagint, where it similarly indicates a temporal relationship, reinforcing the idea of acting before a designated time.

Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren; we have no further account of these persons in holy writ; the first is a Greek name, the rest Latin, Claudia is a woman’ s name.

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

σπουδάζω (spoudazo) means to make haste or be eager, often implying diligence or earnest effort. It can be used with an infinitive or accusative, as seen in various New Testament verses like Galatians 2:10 and 2 Timothy 2:15. The word is built from the root σπουδή and encompasses a range of meanings from being busy to striving earnestly.

[in LXX chiefly for בּהלni.;]
to make haste; hence, to be zealous or eager, to give diligence: c. inf. (v. M, Pr., 205 f.), Ga 2:10, Eph 4:3, I Th 2:17, II Ti 2:15 4:9, 21, Tit 3:12, He 4:11, II Pe 1:10 3:14; c. acc. et inf. (on this construction v. Mayor in l.; MM, xxiii), II Pe 1:15 (for other constructions v. LS, s.v.).†

The Greek word πρό (pro) is a preposition meaning 'before' and is used with the genitive case. It covers various contexts, including spatial (in front of), temporal (prior to), and preferential (above or rather than). In the New Testament, it appears in verses like Matthew 11:10 and John 12:1. Notably, it can also indicate a sense of superiority or preeminence.

χειμών (cheimon) means winter, derived from the idea of pouring rain. It can also refer to stormy weather or a tempest. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts related to winter (e.g., Matthew 24:20) and storms (e.g., Acts 27:20). The lexicons provide a consistent understanding of the word's use across different texts.

win'-ter (choreph, from charaph, "to inundate," "overflow"): The rainy season, also the autumn harvest season (Ge 8:22; Ps 74:17; Zec 14:8). It is also the time of cold (Jer 36:22; Am 3:15). The verb "to winter" occurs in Isa 18:6. Cethaw has the same meaning as Choreph (So 2:11). cheimon, corresponds to choreph as the rainy season, and the verb paracheimazo, signifies "to pass the winter" (Ac 27:12), the noun from which is paracheimasia (same place).

The Greek word ἔρχομαι (i.e., *erchomai*) means 'to come' or 'to go.' It is used in various contexts, often indicating arrival or return, and can apply to both people and events. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in references to the coming of the Messiah (e.g., Mt 11:3). Lexicons note its use with various prepositions to indicate direction or purpose.

The Greek word Εὔβουλος (transliterated as Euboulos) refers to a proper name, specifically a Christian mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21.

u-bu'-lus (Euboulos, literally, "of good counsel," 2Ti 4:21):
One of the members of the church in Rome at the time of Paul's second imprisonment in that city.
The apostle mentions how, at his first answer to the charges brought against him at the emperor's tribunal, the Roman Christians as a whole proved disloyal to him "no one took my part, but all forsook me" (2Ti 4:16). In these circumstances when the desertion of Paul by the Christians in Rome was so disheartening, it is pleasing to find that there were some among them who were true, and Eubulus was one of these. Paul therefore in writing the last of all his epistles sends to Timothy a greeting from Eubulus.
Nothing more is known in regard to Eubulus. As his name is Greek, he was probably a Gentile by birth. John Rutherfurd

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

pu'-denz, pu'-dens (Poudes, literally, "bashful" (2Ti 4:21)):
1. Faithful to Paul:
One of the Christians in Rome who remained loyal to Paul during his second and last imprisonment there, when most of the members of the church "forsook him." The pressure under which they acted must have been very great, as the apostle's final trial before the supreme court of the empire followed quickly after the Neronic persecution. Their defection from their loyalty to Paul must not be taken as implying that they had also proved untrue to Christ. At this time, however, there were some of the Christians who risked their earthly all, and their lives too, in order to prove their adherence to Paul, and Pudens was one of these.
2. Pudens and Claudia:
Pudens
Bashful, a Christian at Rome, who sent his greetings to Timothy (2 Tim. 4:21). (See CLAUDIA.)
(modest), a Christian friend of Timothy at Rome. (2 Timothy 4:21) (A.D. 84.) According to legend he was the host of St. Peter and friend of St. Paul. and was martyred under Nero.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Λίνος (Linos) refers to Linus, a name associated with a Christian figure mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21. The entries indicate that Linus may also refer to a mythical minstrel, son of Apollo, known for a song or lay named after him.

li'-nus (Linos (2Ti 4:21)): One of Paul's friends in Rome during his second and last imprisonment in that city. He was one of the few who remained faithful to the apostle, even when most of the Christians had forsaken him. And writing to Timothy when he realized that his execution could not be very far distant--for he was now ready to be offered, and the time of his departure was at hand (2Ti 4:6)--he sends greeting to Timothy from four friends whom he names, and Linus is one of them. There is a tradition that Linus was bishop of the church at Rome. "It is perhaps fair to assume, though of course there is no certainty of this, that the consecration of Linus to the government of the Roman church as its first bishop was one of the dying acts of the apostle Paul" (H.D.M. Spence, in…

The Greek word Κλαυδία (Klaudia) refers to a feminine proper name, Claudia, mentioned in 2 Timothy 4:21. The entries indicate that it is derived from another Greek word, but details are sparse. Moulton & Milligan note that while there are romantic stories surrounding the name, they lack solid evidence.

Claudia: II Ti 4:21.†
Κλαυδία. Notwithstanding the inscriptional evidence that is sometimes appealed to, Lightfoot (Afost. Fathers I. i. p. 76 ff.) has shown conclusively that there is no valid ground for the romances which have woven themselves round the names of Claudia and (her supposed husband) Pudens in 2 Tim 42), It may be of interest, however, to some to recall a Lat. inscr., which he cites, mentioning a married couple bearing the same combination of names, C/Z VI. 15066: TI.

klo'-di-a (Klaudia): A member of the Christian congregation at Rome, who, with other members of that church, sends her greetings, through Paul, to Timothy (2Ti 4:21). More than this concerning her cannot be said with certainty. The Apostolical Constitutions (VII, 21) name her as the mother of Linus, mentioned subsequently by Irenaeus and Eusebius as bishop of Rome. An ingenious theory has been proposed, upon the basis of the mention of Claudia and Pudens as husband and wife in an epigram of Martial, that they are identical with the persons of the same name here mentioned. A passage in the Agricola of Tacitus and an inscription found in Chichester, England, have been used in favor of the further statement that this Claudia was a daughter of a British king, Cogidubnus. See argument by Alford in the Prolegomena to 2Ti in his Greek…
Claudia
A female Christian mentioned in 2 Tim. 4:21. It is a conjecture having some probability that she was a British maiden, the daughter of king Cogidunus, who was an ally of Rome, and assumed the name of the emperor, his patron, Tiberius Claudius, and that she was the wife of Pudens.
(lame), a Christian woman mentioned in (2 Timothy 4:21) as saluting Timotheus.
A Christian woman, probably a convert of Paul at Rome 2Ti 4:21.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

ἀδελφός is built from a copulative particle and δελφύς, meaning 'womb.' It primarily refers to a brother, either by birth or in a broader sense, such as a fellow Christian or a member of the same nation. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, including familial and spiritual relationships, as seen in Matthew 1:2 and 1 Corinthians 1:1.
ἀδελφός, -οῦ, ὁ
(< ἀ- copul., δελφύς, womb),
in cl., a brother, born of the same parent or parents. [In LXX (Hort, Ja., 102 f.), for אָח;]
lit. of a brother (Ge 4:2, al.).
Of a neighbour (Le 19:17).
Of a member of the same nation (Ex 2:14, De 15:3). In NT in each of these senses (1. Mt 1:2, al.; 2. Mt 7:3; 3. Ro 9:3) and also,
ἀδελφός, -οῦ, ὁ, (fr. a copulative and δελφύς, from the same womb; cf. ἀγάστωρ), [fr. Hom. down]; 1. a brother (whether born of the same two parents, or only of the same father or the same mother): Mt. i. 2; iv. 18, and often. That ‘the brethren of Jesus,’ Mt. xii. 46, 47 [but WH only in mrg.]; xiii. 55 sq.; Mk. vi. 3 (in the last two passages also sisters); Lk. viii. 19 sq.; Jn. ii. 12; vii. 8; Acts i. 14; Gal. i. 19; 1 Co. 1. 5, are neither sons of Joseph by a wife married before Mary (which is the account in the Apocryphal Gospels [ef. Thilo, Cod. Apocr. N. T. i. 8362 sq.]), nor cousins, the children of Alpheus or Cleophas [i. 6. Clopas] and Mary a sister of the mother of Jesus (the current opinion among the doctors of the church since Jerome and Ausustine [ef. Bp. Lghtft. Com. on Gal., diss. ii.]), according to that use of language by which ἀδελφός like the Hebr. τὶ denotes any…

The Greek word πᾶς (i.e., *pas*) means 'all' or 'every' and appears in various forms, including masculine, feminine, and neuter. It is used in the New Testament to denote totality, as in 'all things' or 'every kind,' and can function as an adjective or pronoun. Notably, it can also imply 'the whole' when used with definite articles, as seen in verses like Matthew 28:18.
