1. Opening (1:1–2)2. Thanksgiving (1:3–5)3. Exhortation to remain faithful (1:6–18) * Paul urges Timothy not to be ashamed and to preserve the gospel (1:6–14) * Paul gives examples of unfaithful and faithful people (1:15–18)
In [1:6](../01/06.md), Paul speaks about the “gift” that Timothy received. He received it when Paul laid his hands on Timothy to commission him. It is clear from the context that this “gift” is a special skill or ability that Timothy had. Most likely, this skill or ability enabled Timothy to teach and lead believers well. Since Paul does not state or even imply what the “gift” was, you should use a general word or phrase that refers to a special skill or ability.
In [1:12](../01/12.md) and [1:14](../01/14.md), Paul refers to a “deposit.” These two uses of the word “deposit” can be understood in two ways:1. In verse 12, Paul is referring to something he “deposits” with God, which would be his life or his eternal blessings. In verse 14, Paul is referring to something that God has “deposited” with Timothy, which would be the gospel or his ministry.2. In verse 12 and in verse 14, Paul is referring to something that God has “deposited” with himself and Timothy, which would be the gospel or their ministries.See the notes on these verses for more information and translation options.
In [1:2](../01/02.md), Paul calls Timothy a “beloved child.” By that, he means that Timothy is like a son to him in the context of their faith in Jesus. The phrase implies that Paul is a mentor to Timothy and that Timothy is a good student. Since the use of family language for fellow believers is an important metaphor in the New Testament, if possible, preserve the metaphor or express the idea in simile form. See the notes on this verse for translation options. (See: figs-metaphor)
