NATIONAL BIBLE COLLEGEPASTORAL EPISTLES BI 3142I TIMOTHYI. The Pastoral Epistles: The two letters to Timothy and the one to Titus are called the “PastoralEpistles” because they contain principles for the pastoral care of churches and thequalifications for ministers.II. Authorship of I Timothy: The Apostle PaulA. The writer calls himself Paul [ (I Timothy 1:1), the personal references (I Timothy 1:13, 15)sense of divine calling (1 Timothy 2:7)].B. The arguments against Pauline Authorship:1. Paul’s travels described in Pastoral do not fit anywhere in Acts.2. The church organization described is that of the 2nd century3. The vocabulary and style are different from that of other Pauline lettersC. The arguments for Pauline Authorship:1. Acts does not contain the complete history of the life of Paul, since his death is notrecorded in Acts. He was released from his first imprisonment in Rome, traveled forseveral years, rearrested, imprisoned a second time in Rome, and martyred under Nero.2.Nothing in the church organization requires a later date3. Subject matter could require different vocabulary and style i.e. vocabulary to describechurch organization would be different from vocabulary for Doctrine of H.S.III. Date and place of writing [62-63 AD, probably from Macedonia]IV. Occasion: I Timothy was written to Paul’s young apprentice. Who Paul called “my true son inthe faith ” (v.2). Paul had left Timothy in Ephesus to continue the work at the churchlocated in that city. Since Paul was to be delayed in coming to him, Paul wanted to instruct hisyoung understudy on “how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household ”(I Timothy 3:15). This, of course, is not a reference to a building but the gathering of God’speople, a reference to the local assemblies. In addition, he charged Timothy personally to fightthe good fight, to enforce sound doctrine, to ensure that church leaders are sufficientlyqualified, that they are motivated by spiritual considerations and not worldly prestige ormaterial gain. Timothy was also to warn against false teachers and their destructive doctrine.Even though this is a letter written to Timothy it is also official rather than private. Thecontents were not meant for Timothy alone, but were for the edification of the whole church.These are church matters not just personal issues.
NATIONAL BIBLE COLLEGEPASTORAL EPISTLES BI 3143V. The Recipient: TimothyHe was the son of a Greek father and a devout Jewish mother named Eunice. Timothy wasclosely associated with Paul from the terms of the second missionary journey (II Timothy 1:5;Acts 1—I Timothy 6:1-3). It is possible that the young Timothy had a timid, retiringdisposition, and frail health, who needed encouragement.Several passages may indicate this:I Timothy 4:12I Timothy 4:14I Timothy 4:15-16I Timothy 5:23Despite Timothy’s apparent weakness, Paul had tremendous confidence in him, sending him tosuch a strategic city as Ephesus. As Paul, himself, said “Therefore I will boast all the moregladly about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” II Corinthians 12:9bIn our weakness, Christ’s power can be manifested!VI. The City & Church at Ephesus:(see Hebert p. 253-256.)VII. The Purpose.So that the Lord’s people would know how to conduct themselves in the household of God.I Timothy 3:15VIII. Distinctive Features of I TimothyA. A good look at church order in the 60’s AD.B. Requirements for elders and deacons.C. Gives roles in church of men and women, slaves, masters, young and old, widows.D. Gives guide lines for Pastoral Ministry.IX. Key Scripture: I Timothy 3:15
