St. John Chrysostom preached through Second Timothy verse by verse, and these are his sermons as they were taken down. Each one explains a passage and then turns to how his listeners should live.

St. Paul wrote this letter knowing he would soon die, and St. John Chrysostom reads it with great tenderness.
