1 Corinthians 4:17

‘I have sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord’

"Of course, Paul did communicate through epistles full of objective truth, set out in clearly stated propositions, but he wanted to send a living letter. He wanted to sustain the incarnational aspect of the glorious gospel with its emphasis on personal relationship and example".
