What would Timothy remind the Corinthians of when he came?
When Timothy came, he would bring the Corinthians into remembrance of Paul’s ways which are in Christ. He would constantly remind them of what Paul had done on their behalf by bringing them the knowledge of the crucified and risen Christ, as Paul taught everywhere in every church.
Les explains that Timothy, though not Paul’s physical son, was his beloved spiritual son and faithful in the Lord. When Timothy would come to Corinth, he would not bring new doctrine but would remind them of Paul’s ways in Christ—specifically what Paul had done on their behalf in bringing them the knowledge of the crucified and risen Christ. This matched how Paul taught everywhere in every church. Even with the apostle as their spiritual father and Timothy coming to enhance their work, the Corinthians still had problems, much like Israel in the Old Testament who had much going for them but failed miserably.
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
