A Study on the First Epistle to Timothy by Jesse C Jones
Paul called Timothy his “true son in the faith.” He took Timothy as one of his companions on the third missionary journey and the most affectionate relations between them were sustained to the end of the apostle’s life. His last epistle was to this disciple. Timothy was stationed at Ephesus where heretical teachers carried on their destructive work. In this epistle the apostle gives this young pastor just the instruction needed to meet the needs of the situation in Ephesus. He does not discuss doctrines, but gives direction for the training and governing of the church.
