“You, however, continue in the things that you learned and were persuaded to believe, knowing from what persons you learned them

2 Timothy 3:14,

Doubtless, Timothy also considered what sort of persons his mother and grandmother were​—truly spiritual individuals. They would not trick him or twist the truth for selfish ends; neither were they hypocrites. Timothy, therefore, had no question about the things he learned. And there is no doubt that his adult life as an active Christian warmed his faithful mother’s heart.
