Recalling your tears The phrase "recalling your tears" suggests a deep emotional connection between Paul and Timothy. The Greek word for "recalling" is "μνημονεύων" (mnēmoneuōn), which implies a deliberate act of remembrance. This indicates that Paul is not merely reminiscing but is actively bringing to mind Timothy's past sorrows. The "tears" could refer to a specific moment of parting or distress, possibly when Paul was last imprisoned or when Timothy faced persecution. Historically, tears were often seen as a sign of genuine emotion and vulnerability, reflecting the close bond and mutual affection between the two men. This phrase underscores the humanity and emotional depth present in their relationship, reminding us of the importance of empathy and shared experiences in Christian fellowship. I long to see you so that I may be filled with joy Being mindful of thy tears.--Shed probably by Timothy when his aged master had last taken leave of him. It is likely that the clouds of danger which were gathering thickly round St. Paul towards the close of his career had oppressed the brave-hearted Apostle with a foreboding of coming evil, and had invested the last parting with Timothy with circumstances of unusual solemnity. St. Paul had affected others besides Timothy with the same great love, so that tears were shed by strong men when he bade them farewell. (See the account of the leave-taking of the Ephesian elders at Miletus, Acts 20:37-38--"And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more.") There is no necessity for Hofmann's singular, but rather far-fetched, theory here that the tears were simply an expression for Timothy's intense sorrow at hearing of the Apostle's arrest and close imprisonment, which sorrow St. Paul was made acquainted with in a letter. The tears, according to Hofmann, were those "welche Timotheus brieflich geweint hat." That I may be filled with joy.--When he meets Timothy again.
