Eunice

The mother of the apostle Timothy and daughter of Lois (2 Timothy 1:5). She was the wife of a pagan Greek man. Eunice was a Jewish Christian (Acts 16:1). She taught Timothy the Old Testament Scriptures “from infancy” (2 Timothy 3:15). Eunice converted to Christianity during the first trip of the apostle Paul to her home in Lystra. This happened sometime before his visit mentioned in Acts 16:1.
