Timothy and Titus are likewise cautioned against the same prevailing corruptions, and in particular against the same misdirection of their cares and studies.
In the First Epistle to Timothy, for example, the task of preserving the tradition is entrusted to ordained presbyters; the clear sense of presbuteros as an indication of an office, is a sense that to these scholars seems alien to Paul and the apostolic generation.

The second epistle to Timothy is Paul's word of encouragement to a discouraged man of God and we can imagine the young man reading these last words from his mentor with tears blurring his eyes.
Timothy was to give himself completely to two major concerns: first, his character development, i.e., what he says, how he behaves, his love of others, (KJV "spirit" lacks good manuscript evidence) his faithfulness and his personal purity.
And notice, as Timothy takes heed to "himself" (i.e., his character) and "the doctrine" (i.e., his ministry), advancing in them, the end result is a blessing to himself and those who sit under his ministry.
