Paul called Timothy to first have the men to pray together. God does an amazing work when men pray together in unity. James 5:16 says, “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.”

Prayer of righteous, unified men in Christ is powerful beyond our natural means.

Paul also emphasized to Timothy the need for men to be at peace with one another as they served Christ together.
