In 2 Timothy 1:5, the apostle Paul writes to his young protege: “I am reminded of your sincere faith.” In his first letter, in 1 Timothy 1:5, he had penned these words: “But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” Timothy exemplified that which Paul was hoping to nurture in all believers.
