This takes aim at any perfectionism in Timothy, because Paul is basically saying, you're going to start out slow, but you'll see improvement over time. This instruction will not only help keep Timothy humble, but it will encourage those around him too. By the way, in verse 10, Paul isn't making a statement of universalism. He says, God is the savior of all people.

But if this statement meant everyone is saved, then why is Paul risking his life to share the gospel? Why is he enduring prison and persecution to share Jesus with people who don't even need to know him?

There are a few different ways this verse can be interpreted to fit in with the rest of Scripture, but the one many scholars land on is that this verse is saying, God will save people from among every people group, and more specifically, the people he'll save are the ones who believe in him. In chapter 5, Paul continues to help Timothy walk in humility while creating order in the church.

There were some issues in this church with widows, apparently. Some of the younger widows may have been taking advantage of the church's provision when they actually had other means of sustaining themselves. So Paul says, set up some boundaries around who the church will support. Don't just throw the bank account gates wide open without discernment.

It has to be challenging to set up structure for caring for needy people in the church, so Paul is giving Timothy some wisdom and guidance on how to set up a system that honors God and the people of the church simultaneously. He tells Timothy to pay the people who lead the church, make sure they're well taken care of.

Then he gives him instructions on how to rebuke people who persist in sin, but he adds that some sins are the kinds that don't really show up. They're internal more than external. They're slower to surface. He talks a lot about money and how to handle it in chapter 6. There's nothing wrong with money, he says. It's a blessing that should be used to honor God.

He wants us to delight in the things he gives to us. Money isn't the problem. The love of money is. So Paul doesn't condemn their wealth or command them to get rid of it. Instead, he says, hold it loosely and view it rightly. It's not sturdy enough to set your hopes on. My God shot comes from this section too.
