Bible Question: More info on Enuice adn Lois |
Bible Answer: Greetings KAKMILL and welcome to the forum. I am not sure what you mean by "more" info on Eunice and Lois but Eunice was Timothy's mother and Lois was his grandmother. They both had great faith which helped prepare him for his ministry. There is only one verse in the bible that talks about Eunice and Lois - 2 Tim 1:5 Paul was talking to Timothy and stated " I'm reminded of how sincere your faith is. That faith first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice. I'm convinced that it also lives in you". This one verse gives Eunice and Lois their immortality because it speaks of the excellent job they did in raising Timothy and instilling in him godly virtues. They had prepared him for great responsibilities well. It was from Eunice and Lois that Timothy obtained his intimate knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures, (2Ti 3:15). In addition the religious faith of the mother and grandmother had been handed down to Timothy in overflowing measure. Eunice and Lois seem to step right from the pages of the Bible and tell us that there is nothing more important in a mother's life than the early training of her child. Hope this clears up your question, if not please be more specific on what you would like to know. prayon |
