with my mom's birthday in a few days, this commentary on 2 timothy 1:5 is particularly poignant. paul commends timothy for his "sincere faith," and it "dwelt" first in his grandmother and mother...
thus pious women may take encouragement from the success of lois and eunice with timothy, who proved so excellent and useful a minister. some of the most worthy and valuable ministers the church of Christ has been favoured with, have had to bless God for early religious impressions made upon their minds by the teaching of their mothers or other female relatives.
-matthew henry
