Atos 16:2 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:2

Which was well reported of
Not the father of Timothy, but Timothy himself; to whose piety, virtue, and good conversation witness was borne,

by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium;
the members of the churches which were in these places, and which were not far from one another; and as it is necessary that ministers of the Gospel should have a good report of them that are without, so likewise of them that are within; and the testimony of the latter is preferable to that of the former.

Atos 16:2 In-Context

1 Chegou a Derbe e depois a Listra, onde vivia um discĂ­pulo chamado TimĂłteo. Sua mĂŁe era uma judia convertida e seu pai era grego.
2 Os irmĂŁos de Listra e IcĂ´nio davam bom testemunho dele.
3 Paulo, querendo levá-lo na viagem, circuncidou-o por causa dos judeus que viviam naquela região, pois todos sabiam que seu pai era grego.
4 Nas cidades por onde passavam, transmitiam as decisões tomadas pelos apóstolos e presbíteros em Jerusalém, para que fossem obedecidas.
5 Assim as igrejas eram fortalecidas na fé e cresciam em número cada dia.
