1 Timothy
The ministry of Paul is presented from the point of view that church leadership and sound teaching are essential for guiding God’s people. Paul emphasizes the importance of maintaining faith, good conduct, and upholding the truth in the face of false teachings. Through instructions to Timothy, Paul outlines the qualifications for leaders and encourages him to guard the church, while faithfully teaching the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ.
