Philippians 1:1 suggests that Timothy was with Paul as Paul was writing his letter to the Philippian church. Some scholars suggest this letter was written in Rome, but logistically it more plausible that Paul was imprisoned in Caesarea when Philippians was written. This conclusion is drawn from the fact that Paul mentions help being sent from Ephesus, a few days journey from Caesarea, but a very long journey from Rome. It is not clear if Timothy was visiting Paul in Caesarea or if he was a fellow prisoner. Timothy is also later believed to have been with Paul during Paul's trial in Rome. In the Benediction in Hebrews, the author indicates that Timothy was recently freed from an unknown imprisonment and the author is hopeful Timothy will be joining him shortly. Catholic scholars attribute the Benediction in Hebrews as authentic Paul, suggesting Timothy was imprisoned elsewhere while Paul was awaiting trial and was subsequently released. It is likely that Timothy arrived in Rome around the time of Paul's trial and was likely with Paul, either as a caregiver and fellow coworker (Roman prisons did not provide inmates food) or that Timothy himself was imprisoned upon his arrival. Thirty years after Paul's death, Timothy is imprisoned, this time in Ephesus, where he is executed for his rebuke of a Pagan festival honoring the Goddess Diana.

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. New Testament scholars consider it beyond question that the Epistle to the Hebrews was not really written by Paul, so this comment has no historical basis, nor does the attribution in some Bibles that Timothy helped write Hebrews.A:Timothy in the bible was a very young coworker. of Paul the apostle. Paul wrote two letters to Timothy in the bible. A:Timothy was a young man that Paul came into contact with and fostered during his ministry. 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. Paul trained Timothy and taught him how to be a leader in the early Church of Christ at Ephesus. His writings to Timothy were to give him encouragement because he was a younger man and to give him confidence in his ministry with others.
What was the relationship between Paul and Timothy?
Timothy was the son of a Jewish mother, who had become a Christian believer, and a Greek father. Timothy's home was in Lystra in the Roman province of Galatia in what is now Turkey. In his letters Paul wrote of Timothy with love and respect calling him his 'son' (in a Christian sense, not biological) whom he loved and who was faithful in the Lord. Paul said Timothy had a genuine spirit like his own. Timothy became a close associate of Paul. He was with Paul during much of Paul's second and third missionary journeys. Six of Paul's letters bear Timothy's name with Paul's in the opening greeting - 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, and Philemon. In the first letter to Timothy there are four main themes: * 1. To instruct Timothy in writing to oppose the false doctrines that Paul had personally urged him to oppose while they were together in Ephesus (1 Timothy 1:3). * 2. To give Timothy the instructions needed to fight the good fight of faith ( 1 Timothy 1:18,19). * 3. To instruct Timothy in how God's New Israel of believers should conduct themselves in the church (1 Timothy 3:14,15). * 4. To instruct Timothy on how to conduct his pastoral ministry (1 Timothy 4:1-6:19) So for much of the first letter, we see Paul acting as a mentor to a new, young, church leader who would take over from him. At the time Paul wrote his Second Letter to Timothy he was anticipating that the time of his martyrdom was near. Unlike his situation during his first imprisonment in Rome, Paul on this occasion saw no chance of his being acquitted and released. (2 Timothy 4:6-8). He wrote this letter to say farewell. He desired to write one final word of encouragement to his dear son in the faith, Timothy, an encouragement that would also benefit the church. It is likely that this letter is the last letter Paul wrote as it is believed that he wrote it in AD 67, just a short time before his execution in that same year. The main themes in the second letter are: * 1. To request Timothy to come to him as soon as possible that he might see his dear son in the faith one last time (cf. 2 Timothy 1:4; 4:9,21). * 2. To request Timothy to bring his warm cloak and books (cf. 2 Timothy 4:13). * 3. To encourage Timothy in his faith and ministry to guard and to preach the pure Word of God and the gospel that had been entrusted to him (2 Timothy 1:13,14; 3:14,15; 4:1,2). This Second Letter to Timothy is more personal in nature than Paul's other pastoral letters. He expresses his desire for Timothy's companionship (2 Timothy 1:4; 4:9,21). Winter was coming and so Paul needed Timothy to bring him his warm cloak that he had left in Troas (2 Timothy 4:13). He also desires to have his books and parchments, which probably contained the Old Testament Scriptures he needed for his comfort and strengthening for the ordeal that lay before him. This is probably one of Paul's most moving letters of a man waiting for the imminent executioner's sword (he was beheaded as he held Roman citizenship rather than crucifixion, as well as being a Jew), but tradition has it that he went to his death peacefully and eager once more to meet his Lord.

Where did Paul write the Epistles to Timothy?
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.
Is the content of 1 Timothy similar to that of Titus?
A:Yes, there are similarities. Although written as if by the apostle Paul, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus are known collectively to scholars as the Pastoral epistles because they addressed issues that arose in the Church in the first half of the second century. The author wrote a series of epistles allegedly from Paul to Timothy and Titus, setting out the new rules he wished to have implemented as if Paul had given the instructions to Timothy and Titus. He realised that by using Paul's name, the epistles would gain far greater acceptance than if he had acknowledged his own role as author.
