1 Timothy 3 is the third chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The author was traditionally identified as Paul the Apostle since as early as AD 180,[1][2] although most modern scholars consider the letter pseudepigraphical,[3] perhaps written as late as the first half of the second century AD.[4]
This chapter refers to the offices of bishop (or overseer) and deacon, a note about Paul's travel plans, and a formulaic presentation of "the mystery of our religion".[5]
^David E. Aune, ed., The Blackwell Companion to The New Testament (Malden, MA: Wiley-Blackwell, 2010), 9: "While seven of the letters attributed to Paul are almost universally accepted as authentic (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, 1 Thessalonians, Philemon), four are just as widely judged to be pseudepigraphical, i.e. written by unknown authors under Paul's name: Ephesians and the Pastorals (1 and 2 Timothy and Titus)."
