Since Timothy’s father was a Greek and evidently an unbeliever, it was his Jewish mother, Eunice, and her mother, Lois, who trained the boy ‘ from infancy in the holy writings. ’
Kuna Timoteose isa oli kreeklane ja ilmselt ka uskmatu, siis ta ema Euniike, kes oli juut, ja emaema Loise õpetasid talle ’ varajasest lapseeast alates pühi kirju ’.
