1Tim.1:1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and Christ Jesus our hope;
1:2 to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1:3 As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine.

The apostle Paul set out immediately his purpose in writing his letter to Timothy. Paul had preached to many and started numerous congregation throughout the than known world, but of all those Paul had brought the Good News to, none, but Timothy stayed at Paul's side through all his persecution. Today where many love Paul's writings, but would find it hard to believe, Paul did not fill colosseums like preachers today, he was rejected and disliked by the majority he preached to, but not Timothy.

Ephesians 3:8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ.

2Cor.11:20 For you bear with a man, if he brings you into bondage, if he devours you, if he takes you captive, if he exalts himself, if he strikes you on the face. 11:21 I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.

Timothy was faithful to God's word, hence, he was faithful to Paul and Christ commission to Paul to preach the Good News. Although, Paul's words have been used more than all the other apostles it would be Paul's same words that cause the growth in false weed Christian's when digested by fleshly minded people to build massive institutions of religion every since. Paul intention were anything but that, still no words are more misunderstood and abused than Paul's original Holy Spirit intention in making sure his brothers and sister remained free in Christ.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

Galatians 5:1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

The law was always the issues even though, most modern day Christian's find a million other issues from Paul's words creating religious doctrines, the real issue was freedom in Christ by the new covenant not enslavement through laws of our flesh, including those under the the Law of Moses. The flesh is enslaved to sin and the laws/rules that control sin are sins laws. Hence the natural flow of the sinful flesh is stealing the freedom in Christ calling it righteous by adding more sins laws. Paul nor Christ ever enslaved anyone to teaching or control, a person cannot walk in love and enslave other they are mutually opposed. However, Paul's own efforts and words in undoing the false teachings have themselves been used to enslave millions, every since.

Rev.17:1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, 17:2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality."
