Paul writes this letter as an a delegate of Jesus, our source of hope, under His command

I love the emphasis on the relationship between Paul and Timothy. When Paul calls T his child it is to assume that he is also taking on the role as his spiritual father....What if we took our discipleship that seriously?

A task for T was to make sure that no one taught contrary to the truth

4-
Another task would be to avoid speculation that doesn't lead anywhere. T is reminded to let his conversation be about building up other is their believes. A line is drawn here on what is good to "pay attention" to and what is not

5-
The results of a good teachers teaching should be a pure life that has Godly boundaries and is undisguised to those around him about his faith

1 Timothy 1:1-5
