First Epistle to Timothy

Paul’s first letter, as from this will stem the proper behavior of glorifying God through loving others and behaving appropriately. Therefore, St. Paul’s inferred thesis is to glorify God in our bodies by remaining sexually moral, socially proper, and loving selflessly…

Not a Day Sooner In every encounter, people who cross our path leave a part of themselves with us. Their words, wisdom, or humour is a gift of God. I find that the Holy Spirit will call to remembrance some of these unusual moments to illustrate a truth or impress a teaching upon the heart of another, and all we are doing is telling a story. Jesus was a master real-life storyteller, and that is why His teachings impact us in life today. There is a Christian commentator who hosts a program…

Much can be gained by a study of the personal letters of a first-century missionary to one of his most trusted disciples. Paul wrote almost half of the New Testament, but only four of his letters are written to individuals. Of these four, I’ve chosen 1Timothy to further explore. Thirty years of labor for the gospel took its toll on Paul. His body bore the suffering of a servant of Jesus Christ. The intensity of his sufferings never changed the intensity of his love and concern for the churches…

As in all of Psalms, the grammar is poetic as it extols the majesty of creation in its first six verses of chapter 19 of Psalms, followed by the greater glory of the scriptures in the final eight days. It displays remarkable scientific insight as well as profound spiritual…

“Saint Paul of Tarsus, a man who was breathing at the same time as Jesus. The first theologian to walk the earth and the main interpreter of Jesus’s teachings whose development of Christianity has been all-embracing. In the 21st century people learn that Saint Paul of Tarsus is one of the most important figures in the history of Christianity. However he was not always known like that previously he was known as Saul of Tarsus the persecutor of Christians. Reference will be made to Saint Paul’s…

Introduction to the Book of Philippians Introduction Paul’s short epistle to the Philippians was in essence a thank you letter to a church in Philippi that he himself had established sometime during his second missionary journey (Acts 16:12). The tone of the epistle is apparent, Paul regards the Philippi church dear to his heart and it is also apparent that the church’s sentiments towards Paul are similar (Phil 1:7). The epistle is Paul’s response to the Philippi church where he takes the time…

in the books of I Timothy, II Timothy and Titus. In these books, Paul is writing to his preacher boys and his own sons after the faith. He gives Timothy and Titus areas to work on and actions to accomplish in order to be a good minister. At the time that the Apostle Paul was writing these epistles, he was near to his death. He had already spent much time in the ministry, and he wanted to pass down what he learned to his preacher boys. By applying the teaching that Paul gave Timothy and Titus,…

Interpret the Gospels and Epistles Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the four Gospels which contain the rich history of Jesus ' life, death and Resurrection, which is the Good News that we as His follower 's need to share with other people (New International Version, Matthew 5:14-16). These books were written as eyewitness narratives of Jesus ' miracles and teachings so they are accurate historical records of Jesus ' life and sayings as a man here on earth. The epistles contain parts of theology…

will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia [...].” This is the second epistle written to Corinth, which varies from the first where Paul speaks specifically about the leaders of the church whereas the other discusses generally the Church on Earth. Similarly…

3. 1 Timothy 4:8b-9 "But godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation." This saying is of a different "sort of proverbial maxim" according to Eugene Stock, author of Practical Truths from the Pastoral Epistles. This saying is often debated whether or not to include verses 7 and 8a. For this passage, it makes sense that Paul would not make an important statement about the…
