    • 1:2

      Timothy: Meaning “One Who Honors God.”​—See study note on Ac 16:1.

      a genuine child: With this endearing phrase, Paul expresses his warm fatherly feelings toward Timothy. The Scriptures do not state whether Paul introduced the good news to Timothy and his family. However, when Timothy was relatively young, he became Paul’s traveling companion. (Ac 16:1-4) Therefore, by the time Paul wrote this letter, he viewed Timothy as his child in the faith, that is, his spiritual child. (Compare Tit 1:4.) That special relationship had been developing for ten or more years.​—1Co 4:17; Php 2:20-22.

      May you have undeserved kindness and mercy and peace: See study note on Ro 1:7.
