BIBLE READING PLANNER

Timothy was a young man converted by the Apostle Paul. He had been brought up, at Lystra, with a good foundation of Scriptural knowledge (2 Timothy 3:15).

When he became the 'bishop' or guide of the believers at Ephesus, Paul wrote to him with sound advice.

It was at Ephesus that Paul had warned of the dangers of departing from the one true Gospel (Acts20:2 & 32).

In these Epistles written soon before his martyrdom in Rome, Paul again outlines the essential Foundation Teachings of the Faith which cannot be altered.
