I'm sorry then. I don't see the implications of the difference that you're drawing. Do you believe that Paul imparted some kind of grace to Timothy but it wasn't in accordance with his becoming a bishop?

I believe he was imparting some gift to him yes. But what specifically is a bishop gift?

But what specifically is a bishop gift?

When a bishop sacrifices on R7 it is known as Greek gift or classic bishop sacrifice. Declining the Greek gift usually leads to a strong attack as the rook pawn is missing. In a few cases, declining the sacrifice will refute it, especially if the bishop cannot retreat.
