Fr. Kenneth Baker explains how Paul’s letter to Timothy is still important. This letter is similar in content to the other two Pastoral Letters: it is a powerful exhortation to Timothy to teach sound doctrine and to be faithful to the apostolic tradition; he is to oppose false teachers and refute their errors. He is to be a model of virtue, a vigorous preacher of the gospel, and he is to urge the faithful to put the gospel into practice in their daily lives.
