When Timothy was little more than a boy, Paul took him with him as his companion in labor. Those who had taught Timothy in his childhood were rewarded by seeing the son of their care linked in close fellowship with the great apostle (Manuscript 117a, 1901).{7BC 918.8}

Da Timotius var lidt mere end en dreng, tog Paulus ham med sig som sin ledsager i arbejdet. Dem som havde oplært Timotius i sin barndom blev belønnet ved at se sønnen i deres varetægt knyttet i et tæt fællesskab med den store apostel (MS 117a, 1901).
