First Timothy focuses on church leadership and organization, guiding Timothy on how to combat false teachings and ensure sound doctrine in the church at Ephesus. Paul emphasizes the importance of prayer, proper worship, and the qualifications for elders and deacons. The letter also addresses practical matters like how to interact with different groups within the church (elderly, young people, widows, slaves) and the dangers of materialism. Ultimately, 1 Timothy highlights the link between sound doctrine and godly living.
