    Hi , you don't say which Timothy , first or second , so I took a guess you meant first . I will keep it very simple as I don't wish to influence you too much if you are a babe on the path to the Truth . I believe Paul is talking about Jesus . It's as simple as that . Many things in the Bible are very simple . I know so many people who haven't read it and think that you have to be some kind of scholar to do so . I try to tell them that's not the case . All you need to remember is that it is a whole book , all of it matters , all of it is helpful and it interprets itself . Keep reading , be patient , don't get discouraged because you don't understand everything . I'm still discovering new treasures in it and I've been reading it for twenty seven years , half of my life .

    The Word 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture and that all is all without exception is given by inspiration of God the words inspiration of God is translated theopneustos or God breathed, God told men what to write and they wrote it, and is profitable that means no loss for doctrine [right believing] reproof [tells us where we're off ] and correction [gets us back to right believing] for instruction in righteousness walking with God.

    Next verse is purpose 17 That the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works, notice it doesn't sao thoroughly it says throughly, that's because it's on inside spiritually cleaned up. In His Service

    Wesley's Notes for 1 Timothy 3:16

    The mystery of godliness - Afterwards specified in six articles, which sum up the whole economy of Christ upon earth. Is the pillar and ground - The foundation and support of all the truth taught in his church. God was manifest in the flesh - In the form of a servant, the fashion of a man, for three and thirty years. Justified by the Spirit - Publicly declared to be the Son of God, by his resurrection from the dead. Seen - Chiefly after his resurrection. By angels - Both good and bad. Preached among the gentiles - This elegantly follows. The angels were the least, the gentiles the farthest, removed from him; and the foundation both of this preaching and of their faith was laid before his assumption. Was believed on, in the world - Opposed to heaven, into which he was taken up. The first point is, He was manifested in the flesh; the last, He was taken up into glory.
