(1 Timothy 1:18) In harmony with that direction, Paul and the older men of the congregation laid their hands upon the young man, thereby setting him apart for a particular service, and the apostle chose him as a missionary companion.​—1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6.
(1 Timotheo 1:18) Kupatana na mwongozo huo, Paulo na wanaume wazee wa kutaniko walimwekea mikono kijana huyo kijana, na hivyo kumweka kando kwa ajili ya utumishi hususa, na mtume huyo akamchagua kuwa mmishonari mwandamani wake. 1 Timotheo 4:14; 2 Timotheo 1:6.
