Paul provided a general outline of how training can be provided when he told Timothy: “You,... my child, keep on acquiring power in the undeserved kindness that is in Christ Jesus; and the things you heard from me that were supported by many witnesses, these things entrust to faithful men, who, in turn, will be adequately qualified to teach others. ”
Paulus selgitas, kuidas seda teha. Ta ütles Timoteosele: „Mu poeg, ammuta jõudu armust, mida Jumal osutab Kristus Jeesuse jüngritele. See, mida sa oled minult kuulnud ja mida on kinnitanud paljud tunnistajad, anna edasi ustavatele inimestele, et needki saaksid kõlblikuks õpetama teisi. ”
