The letter was written to Timothy, Paul's "true son in faith" (1:2,18). We first learn about Timothy in (Ac 16:1-3), where we find out that his mother was Jewish and his father was Greek. In 1 Timothy Paul desired that the disciple travel with him and therefore Paul circumcised him to fit in with the Jews they were going to preach to. This began a long relationship together where they worked with the Lord, where Timothy treated Paul as he would his father (Ph 2:19-24). This treatment would mean traveling with Paul, and remaining with the new congregations when Paul would have to leave suddenly (Ac 17:13-14). Timothy would also to go back to encourage the congregations (1 Th 3:1-3). Timothy also had the honor to sit with Paul as he wrote several epistles, and from these epistles we lea

The final chapter begins with instructions concerning servants and their duties toward their masters, especially toward those masters who believe (6:1-2). A description then follows of those who might teach the false word of the Lord and his doctrine. (6:3-5). Paul mentions the people who are caught up in material possessions such as food and clothing, and those facing the desire to be rich (6:6-10). Now Paul gives his final instructions to Timothy, he tells him to forget all of the other things not concerning to God and to fully depend on God (6:11-16). The epistle ends with the Christians who are rich in the world, and with a plea for Timothy to stay committed to his trust, avoiding profane and false doctrines that have led others away from faith (6:17-21).

rn that Timothy had been with Paul during his imprisonment in Rome. Because of his faithfulness in his service helps us learn why Paul would leave him in Ephesus (1:3).

Chapter four begins with describing how the spirit will be revealed in times when some people are straying from faith. This falling away would come about as people gave into the false stories. In regards to the letter Paul makes it clear that all foods are acceptable if they are received with thanksgiving, because God said to Paul in a vision they are alright to consume (4:1-5). In the last half of this chapter we find Paul instructing Timothy how he could become a good Minister of Jesus Christ by instructing the breathen in matters pertaining to doctrine. Now Timothy should be careful to avoid foolish fables, and rather exercise himself to godliness (4:6-10). Though Timothy is young he shouldn't let anyone despise him for that. Instead he must demonstrate the proper example of how a believer should speak and live. Paul assures Timothy that if he follows these instructions his progress will show, and that he will save himself and those he saves (4:11-16).

The final summary of this epistle is that Paul was worried that Ephesus and the people in it would fall away from the faith because of false doctrines that existed in the town. He wrote Timothy to warn of this happening and to teach and to encourage him.
