1 Timothy
New Testament · 5 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible
Three letters in the New Testament are addressed to individuals rather than congregations, and have been read together since the eighteenth century as the Pastoral Epistles: the two to Timothy and the one to Titus. They share a vocabulary, a set of concerns, and a picture of church life, and they raise the same question more insistently than any other letters in the collection.
