Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Timothy 4:21

"Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren." — 2 Timothy 4:21 (ASV)

Do thy diligence, 2 Timothy 4:9.

To come before winter. Probably because of the dangers of the navigation then, and because the circumstances of the apostle were such as to demand the presence of a friend.

Eubulus, etc. These names are of common occurrence in the classic writers, but of the persons here referred to we know nothing.

"diligence" — "your best."
