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.
Timothy didn't write any books of the Bible, honey. The letters to Timothy in the New Testament were actually written by the apostle Paul. So, Timothy may have been a great guy, but he's not the one penning those letters.
