Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners
Paul thanks Christ Jesus, who judged him faithful and appointed him to his service, though he was once a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost." Every baptized believer is enlisted in God's army, and Paul…

Guard the Deposit
Paul's final charge to Timothy is to guard the deposit entrusted to him and to avoid irreverent babble and the contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge. The Levites guarded the tabernacle, and Adam was placed in the garden to keep it but let the unclean in. The deposit is the gospel…

Rich in Good Works
Paul tells Timothy to charge the rich in this present age not to be haughty or to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides everything to enjoy. They are to do good, be rich in good works, and be generous and ready to share, storing up a good foundation for the...
-
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Paul's doxology in 1 Timothy 6 praises God as the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. No one can look on God's full glory and live, but the only Son has made him known:...
-
The Appearing of Our Lord
Paul charges Timothy to keep the commandment until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about at the proper time. Christ has two appearings: his first coming in humiliation, ending in his exaltation, and his second coming in glory. Believers live between the two and look…

The Good Confession
Paul charges Timothy to keep the good confession, as Christ Jesus made the good confession before Pontius Pilate: "My kingdom is not of this world. For this purpose I was born, to bear witness to the truth." Christ spoke the Father's words with perfect purity, though he came in the likeness of...
-
Pastors Use Authority to Produce Love
Paul left Timothy in Ephesus to charge certain men not to teach different doctrine, and the goal of that charge is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and a sincere faith. Pastors must use their authority to oppose teaching that harms the flock, yet doctrinal purity is not an end in…

Godliness with Contentment
False teachers suppose that godliness is a means of gain, but Paul teaches that godliness with contentment is great gain. We brought nothing into the world and can take nothing out; with food and clothing we will be content. Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and ruin, and the love…

Fight the Good Fight of Faith
Paul charges Timothy, as a man of God, to flee the love of money and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, and gentleness. He is to fight the good fight of the faith and take hold of eternal life, to which he was called when he made the good confession before many…

Timothy, My True Child in the Faith
Paul calls Timothy "my true child in the faith," and Timothy's life is a model for believers. Raised in the faith by his mother and grandmother, timid by nature, he became Paul's trusted coworker, a yokefellow who shared his labors and genuinely cared for the churches. The fruit of the Spirit and...
-
Grace, Mercy, and Peace
Paul greets Timothy with "grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord," a greeting unlike the ordinary greetings of that time. Grace is God's riches at Christ's expense; mercy meets his people in their misery; peace is the presence of the Prince of Peace who stilled the...
-
The Sound Words of Our Lord
Paul warns that anyone who teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ is conceited and understands nothing. Such teachers have an unhealthy craving for controversy and quarrels about words, which produce envy, strife, and suspicion, and they...
-
Not Addicted to Much Wine
Among the qualifications for elders and deacons in 1 Timothy 3 is that they not be addicted to much wine, yet Paul tells Timothy to use a little wine for his stomach. Scripture condemns drunkenness but does not forbid wine, and to add rules God has not given, as the Pharisees did, is dangerous....
-
Using the Law Lawfully
Paul tells Timothy that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, and that it is laid down not for the righteous but for the lawless and disobedient. Israel's law included ceremonial and civil laws that pointed to Christ and expired with him, and the moral law, summarized in the Ten Commandments,...
