Paul encouraged Timothy to rebuke the false teachers who were telling people to avoid marriage yet promoting promiscuity. They promoted celebrating religious holidays and abstaining from foods related to religious laws that were not advocated by Jesus.
Even though he was young, Timothy should be an example to the church in Ephesus, teach them the ways of Jesus, and live out his spiritual gifts. How we live does not save us, but how we live shows the world that we have been saved.
