Both 1 Timothy 4:14 and 2 Timothy 1:6 refer to a gift that Timothy had received at the time of his ordination “by prophecy.” This likely indicates that one of the elders at Timothy’s ordination spoke about a spiritual gift that Timothy would have to enable his future ministry.
1 Timotheo 4:14 na 2 Timotheo 1:6 zarejelea karama ambayo Timotheo alikuwa ameipokea wakati aliwekwa wakuku "kwa unabii." Hii inaweza onyesha kwamba mmoja wa wale wazee walio mtia Timotheo wakuvu alizungumzia juu ya karama ya kiroho ambayo Timotheo angekuwa nayo yakumwezesha katika huduma yake ya baadaye.
