“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.”
If you put these things before the brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, trained in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine that you have followed — Timothy's ministry as diakonos Iesou Christou (minister of Christ Jesus) consists of reminding the community of sound doctrine. His own training (ektrephomai) in the faith constitutes his authority.
