It may not have been complete at that time, but most of the New Testament had be written, and was circulating to the scattered church in Asia Minor. Paul tells Timothy to preach the word. Is that only the OT, or both the OT and writings of the Apostles?

So it wouldn't be inconsistent to say Paul is telling Timothy to preach Jesus, and given that Jesus is the completion of "the Law and the Prophets" then preaching those naturally leads to Jesus.
