From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 3. But hath in due times. At the proper time; the time which he had intended; the best time. See Barnes "1 Ti 2:6". Comp. See Barnes "Mt 2:2". Manifested his word through preaching. See Barnes "2 Ti 1:10". The meaning here is, that he has made known his eternal purpose through the preaching of the gospel. Comp. See Barnes "Ro 10:14,15". Which is committed unto me. Not exclusively, but in common with others. See Barnes "2 Ti 1:11". According to the commandment of God our Saviour. Paul always claimed to be divinely commissioned, and affirmed that he was engaged in the work of preaching by the authority of God. See Ga 1:1-11,12; 1 Co 1:1 Ro 1:1-4.
