The Life of Timothy
Raised a Believer
The mother of Timothy was a Jewess named Eunice. She later, however, became a Jewish Christian (Acts 16:1, 2Timothy 1:5). His father was a Greek (Gentile). The grandmother of Timothy, on his mother's side, was named Lois and she, too, became a Christian. Both women were likely converted during Paul's first evangelistic journey to the city in 46 A.D., when he healed a cripple man but soon after was stoned to death and resurrected (see Acts 14).
According to Paul, Timothy was taught about the Scriptures when he was a child.
But as for you, continue in the things that you did learn and were assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them;
And that from a child you have known the Holy Writings, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. (2Timothy 3:14 - 15, HBF

First Epistle to Timothy
Book of the New Testament
"Kündlich groß ist das gottselige Geheimnis" redirects here. For the work by Stölzel, see Kündlich groß ist das gottselige Geheimnis (Stölzel).
The First Epistle to Timothy[a] is one of three letters in the New Testament of the Bible often grouped together as the pastoral epistles, along with Second Timothy and Titus. The letter, traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, consists mainly of counsels to his younger colleague and delegate Timothy regarding his ministry in Ephesus (1:3). These counsels include instructions on the organization of the Church and the responsibilities resting on certain groups of leaders therein as well as exhortations to faithfulness in maintaining the truth amid surrounding errors.
Most modern scholars consider the pastoral epistles to have been written after Paul's death, although "a small and declining number of scholars still argue for Pauline authorship".[3]
