SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:11
del cual yo soy puesto predicador, y apstol, y maestro de los gentiles.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:11
Verse 11. Whereunto I am appointed a preacher] khrux, a herald. See the notes at Matt. iii. 17. And an apostle] Sent immediately from God to man.
A teacher] One whose business it is to instruct men, and particularly the Gentiles, to whom he was especially sent; to proclaim the doctrines of eternal life, the resurrection and final incorruptibility of the human body; and, in a word, the salvation both of the body and soul of man by Christ Jesus.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Whereunto I am appointed a preacher , etc.] Both from eternity, in the counsel and purpose of God, ( Acts 9:15) and in time, by the church at Antioch, and the prophets in it, according to the express order of the Holy Ghost, ( Acts 13:2). And if ever there was a preacher of the Gospel, Paul was one; he preached purely, powerfully, publicly, constantly, boldly, and with all faithfulness and integrity: and an apostle ; that is, of the Gentiles, as follows, and as he elsewhere styles himself, ( Romans 11:13) for it does not run so smooth and easy to connect this with the word Gospel. In ( 2 Timothy 1:1), he is called the apostle of Jesus Christ, because he was sent by him; and here the apostle of the Gentiles, because, he was sent to them; and this by the same appointment, by which he became a preacher: and a teacher of the Gentiles ; though all the apostles, by their commission, were sent to teach all nations, or the Gentiles in the several parts of the world, as well as Jews; yet the apostle was eminently a teacher of them; his work chiefly lay among them; the Gospel of the uncircumcision, or the ministration of the Gospel to the uncircumcised Gentiles, was committed to him; and he was a teacher of them in faith and verity, as in ( 1 Timothy 2:7). The Alexandrian copy only reads, and a teacher.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-14 - God has not given us the spirit of fear, but the spirit of power, or courage and resolution, to meet difficulties and dangers; the spirit of love to him, which will carry us through opposition. And the spirit of a sound mind, quietness of mind. The Holy Spirit is not the author of timid or cowardly disposition, or of slavish fears. We are likely to bear afflictions well, when we have strength and power from God to enable us to bear them. As is usual with Paul, when he mentions Chris and his redemption, he enlarges upon them; so full was he of that whic is all our salvation, and ought to be all our desire. The call of the gospel is a holy call, making holy. Salvation is of free grace. This is said to be given us before the world began, that is, in the purpose of God from all eternity; in Christ Jesus, for all the gifts that com from God to sinful man, come in and through Christ Jesus alone. And a there is so clear a prospect of eternal happiness by faith in Him, wh is the Resurrection and the Life, let us give more diligence in makin his salvation sure to our souls. Those who cleave to the gospel, nee not be ashamed, the cause will bear them out; but those who oppose it shall be ashamed. The apostle had trusted his life, his soul, an eternal interests, to the Lord Jesus. No one else could deliver an secure his soul through the trials of life and death. There is a da coming, when our souls will be inquired after. Thou hadst a sou committed to thee; how was it employed? in the service of sin, or in the service of Christ? The hope of the lowest real Christian rests of the same foundation as that of the great apostle. He also has learne the value and the danger of his soul; he also has believed in Christ and the change wrought in his soul, convinces the believer that the Lord Jesus will keep him to his heavenly kingdom. Paul exhorts Timoth to hold fast the Holy Scriptures, the substance of solid gospel trut in them. It is not enough to assent to the sound words, but we mus love them. The Christian doctrine is a trust committed to us; it is of unspeakable value in itself, and will be of unspeakable advantage to us. It is committed to us, to be preserved pure and entire, yet we mus not think to keep it by our own strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us; and it will not be gained by those who trust in their own hearts, and lean to their own understandings. (2Ti 1:15-18)

Vincent's NT Word Studies
11. A teacher of the Gentiles (didaskalov eqnwn). Omit of the Gentiles. Comp. 1 Tim. ii. 7, from which the words were probably transferred when the three Epistles were jointly edited. Paul calls himself an apostle, and describes himself as preaching (khrusswn); but he nowhere calls himself didaskalov a teacher, although he uses didaskein to teach, of himself, 1 Cor. iv. 17; Col. i. 28. He also uses didach teaching, of matter given by him to the converts, Rom. vi. 17; xvi. 17; 1 Cor. xiv. 6. He distinguishes between the apostle and the teacher, 1 Cor. xii. 28; Eph. iv. 11.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:11 {For which} (eis ho). For the gospel. See #1Ti 2:7 for this verse.
