We can use those same instructions in governing our local assembly today. Likewise, the work and ministry of a pastor, the qualifications for an elder, and the qualifications of a deacon are just as important and pertinent today as they were in Timothy’s day. Paul’s first letter to Timothy amounts to an instruction book on leading, administrating, and pastoring the local church.
Tunaweza kutumia maelekezo hayo katika uongozi wa madhehebu yetu siku hizi. Kadhalika, kazi na huduma ya mchungaji, sifa za mzee wa kanisa, na sifa za shemasi ni muhimu sana na ya kufaa siku hizi kama yalivyokuwa katika siku za Timotheo. Barua ya Paulo ya kwanza kwa Timotheo inaafikia kitabu cha maelekezo ya kuongoza, usimamiaji, na kuchunga kanisa la mtaa.
