profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science. 6:20 'O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called.'
Son. 1:2 'Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.'
two. The two epistles are called 'The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy', and 'The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Timothy'. The first epistle is the longest with six chapters, and the second epistle has four.
my own son in the faith. In chapter one, Paul writes "Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.", (1 Timothy 1: verse 2). In his second epistle to Timothy, Paul refers to him as "my dearly beloved son:", (2 Timothy 1: verse 2). Paul never refers to Timothy as 'my son in Christ Jesus'.
Ephesus. This is found in 1 Timothy 1: verse 3, where Paul writes "As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia,". Some versions of the King James Bible have an additional note at the end of the first epistle to Timothy, stating "The first to Timothy was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana."
Eunice and Lois. Their names are revealed in 2 Timothy 1: verse 5, where Paul writes "When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice;". By naming these women, Paul was clearly drawing attention to the influence of parents and grandparents on their children and grandchildren.
| In writing to Timothy, Paul mentions two characters called Hymenaeus and Alexander. What does he say he has done with them? | Timothy - The Epistles
|
delivered them to Satan. They are both mentioned in 1 Timothy, chapter 1, where Paul writes "Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.", (1 Timothy 1: verse 20). Hymenaeus is also mentioned in 2 Timothy 2: verse 17, along with someone called Philetus, of whom Paul states "And their word will eat as doth a canker:".
They should dress in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety.. In 1 Timothy 2: verse 9, Paul writes "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;". This advice may have come as a relief to husbands and fathers, who could then have been spared the high cost of purchasing expensive jewellery for their wives and daughters!
Bodily exercise profiteth little.. These words are found in 1 Timothy 4: verse 8, which states "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things,". Some other Bible versions translate this verse more clearly, stating that bodily exercise is profitable for a little time, but that godliness is more profitable.
| Paul mentions two characters, called Jannes and Jambres, who withstood Moses. In which Old Testament book are their names also recorded? | Timothy - The Epistles
|
They aren't mentioned by name in any book of the Old Testament.. Jannes and Jambres are mentioned by name in 2 Timothy 3: verse 8, but nowhere else in the Bible. Traditional Jewish sources claim they were two of the sorcerers who turned their rods into serpents, when Moses and Aaron appeared before Pharaoh, as recorded in Exodus 7: verses 10-12.
a lion's mouth. Paul says "I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion." in 2 Timothy 4: verse 17. In verse 18, he goes on to say "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom:". At this time, Paul was a prisoner in Rome under the emperor Nero, expecting at any time to be put to death, but his faith in God was still strong.
his cloak, books, and parchments. Paul asks of Timothy, "The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.", (2 Timothy 4: verse 13). Paul obviously attached greater importance to his parchments than to the purely physical comfort which his cloak would bring him.
| Concerning the last days, what does Paul tell Timothy of the state of mankind at that time? | Timothy - The Epistles
|
all of these and more (disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers). The state of mankind in the last days is described in 2 Timothy 3: verses 1-5, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof:".
