Just another thought re. “they” as congregation…

If we know Timothy is dealing with falsehood, then of course the whole congregation must remain faithful in order for “she” to sit and learn. It is the whole environment that must be cleaned up, and we already know that the false teachers were affecting more than one person. It is unambiguous that “a man” is being authenteo‘ed, but surely he isn’t the only one at risk for being led astray.
