The following words addressed to Timothy help us to understand how he became a minister: “You, however, continue in the things that you learned and were persuaded to believe, knowing from what persons you learned them and that from infancy you have known the holy writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through the faith in connection with Christ Jesus. ”
Vārdi, kas tika adresēti Timotejam, palīdz saprast, kā viņš kļuva par Dieva kalpotāju. Pāvils viņam rakstīja: ” Paliec mācībās, ko esi mācījies un par ko esi pārliecinājies; jo tu zini, kas tev to ir mācījuši, un ka tu no mazām dienām zini svētos rakstus, kas spēj padarīt tevi gudru, ka tu iegūsti pestīšanu ticībā, kas sakņojas Kristū Jēzū. ”
