The following is the results of your search for Timothy, First Epistle to.
Timothy, First Epistle to: Paul in this epistle speaks of himself as having left Ephesus for
Macedonia
(1 Timothy 1:3) and hence not Laodicea, as mentioned in the
subscription; but probably Philippi, or some other city in that
region, was the place where this epistle was written. During the
interval between his first and second imprisonments he probably
visited the scenes of his former labours in Greece and Asia, and then
found his way into Macedonia, whence he wrote this letter to Timothy,
whom he had left behind in Ephesus. It was probably written about A.D.
66 or 67 The epistle consists mainly,
1. of counsels to Timothy regarding the worship and organization of
the Church, and the responsibilities resting on its several
members; and
2. of exhortation to faithfulness in maintaining the truth amid
surrounding errors.
