Reflection:
Paul’s deep desire for Timothy was that he would be a strong leader of doctrine, teaching to others that both in the church and in the community, there are all kinds of deception which can lead to transgression and sins against God. Both men and woman are exhorted to walk a godly and holy life between each other and in the church as true servants unto our Lord Jesus Christ.
