The Apostle had sent Timothy to other places, to the Corinthians, and to the Philippians. He always found him constant in faith, and zealous to do good unto the Saints. And now commendeth him to this congregation, and calleth him brother, a minister of God, and his labour fellow, that so they might conceive of his great care for them, which sent so worthy a man unto them: and also that they would esteem him, and have him in reputation, to hearken unto Timothy, and to do in all things as he should direct them.

Such as S. Paul nameth Timothy, should all they be, which are sent unto the people. They must hold the faith of Christ unfeignedly, ⟨p. 89⟩and profess it boldly: they must be called, and allowed of God to his service: and must not be idle, but painful, and labouring to build up the house of God, and to gather in his harvest: that they may truly be called the ministers of GOD, and labourers in the Gospel.
