However, no one was closer to Timothy than the apostle Paul, and
inasmuch as he mentions this young man he chose to mentor following
his first missionary trip in Hebrews 13:23, it provides strong
internal evidence that Paul is the author. For those who are
persuaded that God provided the Russian Ivan Panin and his Bible
Numeric Greek and English New Testament, then a mathematical
objective proof is added for confirmation.

baptism into water following repentance from dead works and faith
unto God - by a preacher; and then baptism by the Holy Spirit into
Christ for the New Birth, and baptism by Jesus into the Holy Spirit

at the 7 above divisions, and then over a period of time, vocally
meditate these truths back to God in prayer, and let the Lord through
the Holy Spirit set your heart aflame! - J.A.W.</p>
