Compare. See Barnes on Matthew 2:2.

Manifested his word through preaching. See Barnes on 2 Timothy 1:10.

The meaning here is that he has made known his eternal purpose through the preaching of the gospel. Compare. See Barnes on Romans 10:14-15.

Which is committed to me. Not exclusively, but in common with others. See Barnes on 2 Timothy 1:11.

According to the commandment of God our Saviour. Paul always claimed to be divinely commissioned and affirmed that he was engaged in the work of preaching by the authority of God. See Galatians 1:1-12, 1 Corinthians 1:1, and Romans 1:1-4.
