Subjects in this Topic:

LOIS.—The grandmother of Timothy (2Ti_1:5), and probably the mother of Eunice, Timothy’s mother. The name is Greek. The family lived at Lystra (Act_16:1), where St. Paul first made their acquaintance. Lois was a devout Jewess by conviction, who instructed her family diligently in the Holy Scriptures.
