Answer: As prophesies once made about him

In Paul's letter to Timothy, the teachings that were given to Timothy were actually instructions for his ministry in Ephesus. In 1 Timothy 1:3, Paul asks Timothy to warn those about various false teachings of the word and to make those aware that men have wandered away from righteousness. Now in verse 18, it says that those instructions and teachings Timothy received from Paul were based on prophesies that were once made about him so that he can fight the good fight.

The meaning behind that verse seems to be that Timothy received a prophetic word regarding this during his ordination ceremony. That is primarily the reason behind Paul's instruction to Timothy.
