**Verse 23**
*Set at liberty.* There has been much discussion in respect to the proper meaning of the words here rendered *set at liberty.* They might have been translated *sent away.* To what circumstances in the life of Timothy they allude, on either supposition, is not known.

**Verse 24**
*They of Italy;* the Christians of Italy. Paul is supposed to have been at Rome when this Epistle was written.
