What did Timothy remind the Corinthians that Paul had done for them?
Timothy reminded the Corinthians of Paul's work on their behalf: Paul had brought them the knowledge of the crucified and risen Christ. As Paul's beloved spiritual son, Timothy would bring to their remembrance Paul's ways in Christ, which Paul taught everywhere in every church.
Les explains that in verse 17, Paul sent Timothy, his beloved son spiritually and faithful in the Lord, to remind the Corinthians of Paul's ways in Christ. Timothy would constantly remind them of what Paul had done on their behalf by bringing them the knowledge of the crucified and risen Christ. Paul taught these ways everywhere in every church. The Corinthians had Paul as their spiritual father and Timothy as his spiritual son, who would come and enhance their work, yet they were still failing as Israel had failed in the Old Testament.
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.
