Bible Expert: Well, Timothy is being told to stand firm in his faith, to not be swayed by the false teachings of others, and to keep passing on the truth. He is also being told to be dedicated to the work of the Lord, which could involve preaching and teaching, but could also include the everyday work that he is doing.

He also reminds him that Jesus is the source of true strength and that he will be able to endure anything that comes his way with the help of Jesus.
