That's ok, to avoid "Timothy," imo. First Timothy: this was the first letter of Paul to Timothy, encouraging him and training him about his service for Christ. It's mainly applicable to those who are leaders in the church,a manual for church organization and administration, thus so much of it may not apply to your life.

Second Timothy is written shortly before Paul's death, so it would have a different tone perhaps... not only for the circumstances, but that our writing and thoughts all change their tone as we age. "Practical Application: It is easy to get side-tracked in the Christian life. We have to keep our eyes on the prize – being rewarded in Heaven by Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 4:8). We must strive to avoid both false doctrine and ungodly practices. This can only be accomplished by being grounded in our knowledge of God’s Word and firm in our refusal to accept anything that is unbiblical."

How's that? ok?
