In 1 Timothy 2:1-10, Paul gives specific instructions on how to pray and live so that the lifesaving gospel will continue to go out to all people. Paul's concern was that false teachings were turning the Ephesian congregations into elitist clubs that focused on “myths and endless genealogies” instead of the life-giving gospel. If we’re not careful, we can miss the point of the Gospel and our role in preserving and promoting it.
