1 Timothy

How a church should be run
Paul writing to a young man he had left in charge at Ephesus, and much of it is practical instruction he would rather have given in person. What to do about teachers spreading myths and endless genealogies. How to pray for kings and everyone in authority. What kind of character to look for in overseers and deacons, which is almost entirely about how a man lives rather than what he can do. How to treat older men, widows, and elders. And through it, personal charge to Timothy himself: let no man despise thy youth, and keep hold of what has been entrusted to you.
