The First Epistle to Timothy, aka Book of 1 Timothy, is a Pauline Epistle written by the Apostle Paul around 62 A.D. Here, he encouraged a young pastor named Timothy by giving him advice regarding leadership to the church at Ephesus and probably other churches in Asia. Paul warned Timothy about false teachings, as well as emphasized the importance of church responsibility in dealing with the church members (especially widows and the elders) as well as exhorting the wealthy to become more generous.
