What is known about Timothy in the Bible?

A:In 1 Thessalonians 1:1 and 3:2, 2 Corinthians 1:1 and Philemon 1, Paul refers to Timothy as 'our brother', a term of respect for Timothy as a Christian and as a preacher. Paul refers to Timothy as a co-worker and personal messenger in several places in 1 Thessalonians, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Romans. This is really the only reliable information we have about Timothy from the Bible. Acts of the Apostles expands somewhat on the role of Timothy, saying that his father was a Greek and his mother a Jew, but Acts has been re-evaluated by scholars in recent years and it is uncertain how reliable these reports are.The pseudo-Pauline epistle known as Colossians also refers to Timothy as 'our brother, but 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy refer to Timothy as Paul's 'son' (a departure from Paul's words in his genuine epistles) suggesting a younger man, however since these were not written until some decades after both Paul and Timothy were dead, this description of Timothy is not reliable. The Epistles to Timothy portray Timothy as a newly appointed bishop and 'Paul' reminds him of his duties. By this means, the second-century author was using Paul's supposed precedent to establish the role of bishops when they began to be appointed in the second century. The role of bishop did not exist in the time of Paul and Timothy.The concluding chapter of Hebrews mentions that Timothy was free, but this was an addition to the epistle in order to improve its acceptance as having been written by the apostle Paul.

They had a relationship with each other that was like father and son, and in fact Paul refers to Timothy as a son in his writings.
