Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
1:15-18 Using the examples of others, both negative and positive, Paul continues urging Timothy to be faithful and to come to Rome without fear. 1:15 everyone . . . has deserted me: The desertion took place either in Rome or in the province of Asia when Paul was arrested. Paul might have seen this as another way his life followed the pattern of Christ’s (see Matt 26:31, 56). • Phygelus and Hermogenes are otherwise unknown. The context (2 Tim 1:11-14) might imply that they were church leaders who sided with Paul’s opponents.
