“To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.”
To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord — the intimate form of address (teknon agapētos) deepens the paternal relationship. The triple blessing (charis, eleos, eirēnē) from God and Christ establishes the theological framework for pastoral exhortation.
