Teacher of the Gentiles. Paul (2 Timothy 1:11-12) is a pattern for Timothy, as a public "preacher," an "apostle" or missionary, and a "teacher" in private. In 1 Timothy 2:7 these designations refer to his dignity; here, to his sufferings which attend his offices, and which Timothy therefore must not be ashamed of.
