- Commentary,
2 Timothy 3:14-4:5, Matt Skinner, Preaching This
Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2013.
- " Another avenue a sermon might follow leads strictly into 2 Timothy 4:3 and its interesting comment about people with “itching ears,� who “accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires.� It’s an accusation any group might make against those who don’t listen “properly,� and at its root we find a common human tendency, that of surrounding ourselves with teachers and voices who say only the things we want to hear."
- "Making Sense of God: 'Sound Doctrine' and Divine Inspiration," Richard Mario Procida, Modern Lectionaries, 2013.
- "These Are The Days," Alan Brehm, The Waking Dreamer, 2013.
- "Sometimes we find ourselves asking whether God is anything more than a "supportive" but ultimately powerless presence. And yet Jeremiah said, "the days are coming." Days of restoration, days of rebuilding, days of returning to hope and faith and joy. With this promise in mind, we can find the faith not to lose heart in the face of all that is wrong with our world."
- Commentary,
2 Timothy 3:14-4:5, Dirk G. Lange, Preaching This
Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2010.
- "Tradition is, of course, very important in many church communities ? perhaps in all, even if 'tradition' can have various meanings."

"First
Thoughts on Year C Epistle Passages in the Lectionary,"
Pentecost 22, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
- "How could what began as good news for the broken hearted who cried out for change become the sedative for the comfortable? How could the way of the cross become a pathway for success and a sanction for protecting our own interests, personal or national?"
- "The Man of God," "Paul's Final Charge to Timothy," Rev. Bryan Findlayson, Lectionary Bible Studies and Sermons, Pumpkin Cottage Ministry Resources.
- "The
Adequacy of Scripture: Some Thoughts for Further Meditation on 2 Timothy 3:16-17,"
by
Greg Herrick at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
- "As we meditate on these verses, let us think seriously about our commitment to the Word of God. Do we understand the nature of divine Scripture? Have we therefore committed ourselves to God in his Word? Do we act on what it affirms?"
- "The
Relationship of theopneustos to graphn in 2 Timothy 3:16,"
Daniel B. Wallace, Dallas Theological Seminary.
- "In this paper I have sought to demonstrate that the structural phenomenon of 2 Tim 3:16 does not create a grammatical impasse. That is to say, we do not need to rely solely on intuition nor quickly move on to contextual factors to understand the relation of qeovpneusto" to grafhv."
