Timothy was a close associate of Paul who was facing problems within the church that he was leading in Ephesus. In these personal letters, Paul gives practical pastoral instruction to his protege, highlighting godliness and holy living to help Timothy fulfill his calling and effectively carry out his important tasks in the church. Let no one despise your youth, Paul encouraged, but be an example to believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity (1 Timothy 4:12).
Paul s gentle encouragement in these letters challenges Timothy to persevere in his faith a faith that might have been weakening under the pressure of the church and the persecution of the world. Paul s godly counsel was helpful not only to Timothy, a first-century Christian leader, but is also helpful to each of us as believers today.
