Lesson 31 - Paul's Life after Acts and 1 Timothy
Synopsis
New Testament Survey – Lesson 31: Paul’s Life After Acts and 1Timothy
A number of scholars believe Timothy was serving in Ephesus when he received the first of Paul’s two letters that bear his name. The rise of false teachers and leaders that had lost their way in the Christian life were focal points of Paul’s instructions. Timothy was to train for real godliness. He clarified the qualifications for overseers and deacons. And he urged him to pursue godliness so he could be found blameless.
