What was Paul's final charge to Timothy?

• A. To write letters to churches.
• B. To organize money for the church.
• C. To teach on the temple laws.
• D. To preach the word and do the work of an evangelist.

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that Paul’s final instruction to Timothy centers on continuing gospel proclamation and active outreach. In his last letter, Paul urges Timothy to be ready to proclaim the message at all times, to train and exhort people with sound doctrine, and specifically to “do the work of an evangelist.” That combination—preaching the word and carrying out evangelistic ministry—captures Timothy’s ongoing mission as Paul’s appointed representative. The other activities listed aren’t the focus of this final charge: writing letters, gathering money, or teaching temple laws aren’t presented as the culmination of Timothy’s assignment in this moment.
