1 Timothy 1 NIV - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the - Bible Gateway

Timothy, the recipient of the two New Testament letters bearing his name, was the son of a Greek father and a Jewish mother. He joined Paul during one of Paul’s later missionary journeys. Paul addresses Timothy as "my true son in the faith" (1 Timothy 1:2).

Timothy is a significant figure in the New Testament, known for his close association with the Apostle Paul. He is mentioned in several epistles and is the recipient of two pastoral letters, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, which provide guidance for church leadership and personal conduct.

Timothy was a regular child with a firm grasp on the Bible, probably as rare in his day as it can be in our day now. However, Paul saw something in him, a light that wanted to shine for Jesus and proclaim the Good News. He knew he needed to take Timothy under his wing.
