Timothy did not write any books of the Bible. The Bible Books 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy were letters written TO HIM from the Apostle Paul.
It is a reference to a part of St. Paul's second letter to Saint Timothy.
A:Traditionally, 2 Timothy has been believed to have been written by Paul while imprisoned in Rome. However, scholars say that both Epistles addressed to Timothy are clearly from the second century, and were not written by Paul. Since Second Timothy was not written by Paul, there is nothing to say it was written from prison.
Paul was from Tarsus, a prominent city of Cilicia (Acts 21:39; 22:3)Timothy was probably born in Lystra (Acts 16:1+ 2)

Onesiphorus (2 Timothy 1:16)
The clear majority of scholars do not believe that Paul wrote the letters to Timothy that were written in his name. They say that 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy are clearly second century epistles and were therefore written long after his death. A follower used Paul's name to give the epistles the appearance of authenticity, but they were never sent to Timothy. The purpose was to expound a Christian doctrine from a Pauline perspective, giving the author's views the imprimateur of the apostle Paul.
Timothy was both a convert of Paul, his friend, and fellow evangelist. 1 and 2 Timothy were written by Paul as letters to him, instructing him in pastoral matters. Paul writes to both encourage and teach the younger minister.
1 and 2 Timothy is believed to have been written around 67 CE and traditionally ascribed to St. Paul, but is now frequently doubted because of linguistic differences between the 2 books.
The First Epistle to Timothy is traditionally thought to have been written by Paul from Laodicea. The Second Epistle to Timothy is traditionally thought to have been written by Paul from Rome. However, 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy, known (along with Titus) as the Pastorals because of their concern for the pastoral role of bishops in the second-century Church, are almost unanimously regarded by critical scholars as not written by Paul. We do not really know who wrote them, or from whence they were written.
In the Bible, Timothy is referenced as a companion and co-worker of the apostle Paul. He is mentioned in several of Paul's letters, including 1 and 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Philemon, and both letters to Timothy. Timothy is portrayed as a young leader within the Christian community, noted for his faithfulness and dedication to spreading the teachings of Jesus.
The Epistles of Romans and 2 Timothy deal with suffering.
