1 Timothy (1 Timothée )
This epistle introduces us to Paul as a mentor. Realizing that his life is coming to an end and that he must assure a succession, the apostle takes care to exhort his beloved child in faith to serve the Lord with courage and perseverance until the end. Rather timid by nature and faced in particular with false teachers, Timothy needs to be counseled and strengthened in his position as young head of the Church of Ephesus. So, together with Timothy, benefit from the experience of a wonderful spiritual father!
