Timothy’s primary responsibility, 1Tim 1.3-11 III. Timothy’s primary resource, 1Tim 1.12-17 The “Way” for Our Life Serving Jesus 1Tim 1.12— The rendering of the King James Version, “the ministry,” is too specific and has developed a specialized connotation today as relating to the ordained clergy. The word rather means service of any kind with the thought of carrying out the commands of another. The official status of the one serving is not involved. D. Edmond Hiebert, First Timothy, Everyman’s Bible Commentary (Chicago, IL: Moody Press, 1957), 40. IV.
