Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Paul was a spiritual father, and Timothy his disciple under tuition. His mother Eunice and grandmother Lois were Jewish believers of unfeigned faith, whom Paul commended greatly; his father was Greek and left Timothy uncircumcised, yet Paul took him up for further training in Christ's knowledge and faith.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

Timothy himself is the subject here, not his father. The churches at Lystra and Iconium bore witness to his piety and virtue. Ministers need good testimony both from the world and from believers, but the judgment of the church is far more to be valued than the judgment of outsiders.

Albert Barnes Presbyterian @notesbybarnes

Timothy had been religiously educated and carefully trained in Scripture from youth, which fitted him well for the work ahead. His character was esteemed highly among the brethren, who recognized in him both piety and promise.
