@ronhenzel @pastherandie @Christ_like_ish @JollyStine @peace_got @ymmotrojam @MikeWingerii Paul is clearly writing to Timothy to show him how *he* should act to deal with the false teaching. This is primarily a letter addressed to Timothy expressly to deal with “certain people” who were teaching strange doctrines. Paul’s purpose for the letter didn’t shift in ch 3.
