Was Timothy a young man?

I ask this because in writting to him, paul mentions this:

2 Timothy 3:22 "Flee also youthful lusts, but follow righteousness, faith, love, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart."

He also calls timothy is his dearly beloved son.

2 Timothy 1:2 "To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the father and Christ Jesus our Lord."

Thanks!

1 Timothy 4: 12 "Let no man despise thy youth, but be though an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

Okay, carry on, I've convinced myself! Timothy was a young man! Yey! :D Love that! I feel very close to Timothy now :D

Teehee Rhys, <3 you!

thewatchman:
He wasn't as young as you. Paul was over 60 when he wrote that and Timothy over 40. Because of the the cultural elder issues where Timothy was teaching men older than him, Paul was encouraging Timothy to not defer to the older men in age as he was the true elder in the spirit.
