1 Timothy 2

Paul continues to encourage Timothy's work in Ephesus by reminding him to be a man of prayer. His prayers are to extend to all, not just those with whom he has good rapport. Even those outside of his faith are to receive his prayers. Paul then goes on to talk about the proper place of gender in Timothy's church. The men and women were to serve in distinct roles, demonstrating their understanding of God's plan in their society.
