Actually, in the very next chapter Paul wrote the reason of his writing, "but
in case I am delayed, [I write] so that you may know how one ought to conduct
himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the
pillar and support of the truth."
Also, note the content of chapter 3. This is the immediate context. Paul's
epistles to Timothy do deal with the church.
I missed the evidence for the following statement you made:
>True. So why do you object to the fact that the early Fathers understood
>Junia as a female apostle?
Where do the early church Fathers say this???
