Bible Question: How old were Timothy and Titus when they were working with Paul and when Paul wrote the letters to them? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dlcsharp! Scripture does not actually give an age for these two men, but there are a couple of clues concerning Timothy. 1 Tim. 4:12 says, "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." And, Timothy is warned in 2 Tim. 2:22: "Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." The word for 'youth' here indicates the passions of an adolescent. So, I would say that Timothy was quite young. I know of no Scripture which gives a clue to Titus's age. Though, my general impression is that he was probably older than Timothy. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
