But you know of [Timothy’s] proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.
– Philippians 2:22
A good father must always be a good pattern to his children. If the father is a drunkard or a gambler, this is very hard on the children and hurts their growth. It is difficult to grow properly without a healthy pattern.
