a Timoteo, amado hijo: gracia, misericordia, y paz de Dios el Padre y de Cristo Jess, Seor nuestro.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Timothy 1:2
Verse 2. To Timothy, my dearly beloved son] See the note on 1 Tim. i. 2.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. To Timothy, my dearly beloved son , etc.] Not in a natural, but in a spiritual sense; and not on account of his being an instrument of his conversion, but by reason of that instruction in the doctrines of the Gospel which he gave him, it being usual to call disciples children; and he calls him so, because as a son, he, being young in years, served with him, and under him, as a father, in the Gospel of Christ; for whom he had a very great affection, on account of his having been a companion with him in his travels, and very useful to him in the ministry, and because of his singular and eminent gifts, great grace, religion, and holiness: Grace, mercy, and peace, etc. (see Gill on 1 Timothy 1:2).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - The promise of eternal life to believers in Christ Jesus, is the leading subject of ministers who are employed according to the will of God. The blessings here named, are the best we can ask for our belove friends, that they may have peace with God the Father and Christ Jesu our Lord. Whatever good we do, God must have the glory. True believer have in every age the same religion as to substance. Their faith i unfeigned; it will stand the trial, and it dwells in them as a livin principle. Thus pious women may take encouragement from the success of Lois and Eunice with Timothy, who proved so excellent and useful minister. Some of the most worthy and valuable ministers the church of Christ has been favoured with, have had to bless God for earl religious impressions made upon their minds by the teaching of their mothers or other female relatives.

2. Dearly beloved (agaphtw). Better, beloved. (Comp. 1 Corinthians iv. 17. In 1 Tim. i. 2, Timothy is addressed as gnhsiov, and Tit. in Tit. i. 4.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
1:2 {Beloved} (agapetoi). Instead of gnesiwi (genuine) in #1Ti 1:2. He had already called Timothy agapeton (verbal adjective of agapaw) in #1Co 4:17, an incidental and strong proof that it is Paul who is writing here. this argument applies to each of the Pastorals for Paul is known by other sources (Acts and previous Pauline Epistles) to sustain precisely the affectionate relation toward Timothy and Titus shown in the Pastorals.
