2:19 Paul assures Timothy that the false teaching will not win (see 3:9), and he reinforces the call to purity. • foundation stone: This metaphor emphasizes immunity to destruction (Isa 28:16) and might reflect a temple (see also 1 Tim 3:15; 1 Cor 3:11; Eph 2:20; 1 Pet 2:4-7; Rev 21:14). • The Lord knows: This quotation alludes to Num 16:5. • All who belong to the Lord must turn away from evil: See Isa 52:11; cp. Num 16:26-27; Lev 24:16; Ps 6:8.
