Introduction to First Timothy

This letter (epistle) of First Timothy is the first of two letters written by Paul, the apostle, to Timothy. He wrote this letter around 67 A.D. some years after his release from prison in Rome recorded in Acts 28.

Timothy had already received the gift of holy spirit from God by means of the Lord Jesus Christ because he had already been taught and he believed God's Word. Timothy’s mother was a Christian of the Judean/Israeli background and his father was of the Gentile (other nations) background. Paul first met Timothy as recorded in Acts 16:1-3 and traveled with Paul many times. He is also mentioned in some of Paul’s other letters.

In this letter Paul gives Timothy many instructions on how holy-people (Christians) with different functions within the one body of Christ, the church, should behave themselves in accordance with the will of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
