Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

 From that time forward Timothy was Paul's constant companion. He was left behind at Beroea with Silas when Paul escaped to Athens, and later joined him there ( Acts 17:14-15, Acts 18:5). He was sent as Paul's emissary to Macedonia ( Acts 19:22). He was there when the collection from the Churches was being taken to Jerusalem ( Acts 20:4). He was with Paul in Corinth when Paul wrote his letter to Rome ( Romans 16:21). He was Paul's emissary to Corinth when there was trouble in that unruly Church ( 1 Corinthians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 16:10). He was with Paul when he wrote 2 Corinthians ( 2 Corinthians 1:1; 2 Corinthians 1:19). It was Timothy whom Paul sent to see how things were going in Thessalonica and he was with Paul when he wrote his letter to that Church ( 1 Thessalonians 1:1; 1 Thessalonians 3:2; 1 Thessalonians 3:6). He was with Paul in prison when he wrote to Philippi, and Paul was planning to send him to Philippi as his representative ( Php_1:1 ; Php_2:19 ). He was with Paul when he wrote to the Church at Colossae and to Philemon ( Colossians 1:1; Philemon 1:1). Constantly Timothy was by Paul's side, and when Paul had a difficult job to do Timothy was the man sent to do it.
