The 3:16's - 2 Timothy: Our Measuring Rod and Paul's last 3:16
Week 2 of our 3:16 series takes a look at probably the most well-known 3:16 verse from Paul’s Epistles. It was written in a letter to a young pastor who was leading the church at Ephesus at a time when the Roman government under Nero was starting to persecute Christians. Paul’s words to Timothy would be some of last he ever wrote and they ring true to us today.
