One should also note that whoever wrote first Timothy lied about being Paul. The overwhelming consensus among biblical scholars is that Paul didn't write 1st Timothy, 2nd Timothy, or Titus.

Conservative (Evangelical/fundamentalist) Christians aren't on board with that consensus, but they should be, because if you dig into it, you understand very quickly that Paul could not have written those books or several other books whose authors claim to be him.

Even serious Catholic scholars face up to the fact.
