1 Timothy Chapter 1

False Teachings

Paul wants believers to be filled with love and a genuine faith. Instead some have gone astray listening to false teachings, myths and speculations that arises from misunderstanding scripture. (verses 3-7).

Things that are contrary to sound doctrines ➡ verses 9-11

Jesus Came to Save the Sinners

From verses 12, Paul goes on to say how thankful he is to Jesus, for saving him from the life he was leading – in unbelief and ignorance. He ends verse 15 by even claiming to be the worst of all sinners, and now, sinners can look at Paul as an example of how Jesus can turn a sinners life around for His glory and for their redemption.

Jesus indeed came to save the sinners (Mark 2:17).

Study the parallel between ➡ 1 Corinthians 5:5 and 1 Timothy 1:20 to learn the importance of soul over body.

According to this Chapter in the Bible, a church leader is (verses 1-6):

  3. Able to teach
  4. Not be a heavy drinker
  5. Be gentle and not quarelsome

  7. Not a new believer

In the same way verses 8-13 talks about how one can be a deacon.

The Mystery

Jesus Christ and His mission is the great mystery that was kept hidden. Study more on this topic in 1 Corinthians 2:7.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in glory. 1 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV)

This one verse above explains the mystery of the entire Gospel in a nutshell:

  1. God became flesh and dwelt among us as a man (Is Jesus God?)
  2. Preached the Good News of Salvation to the Gentiles
  3. So that everyone in the world may believe in Him
  4. Resurrected in glory

1 Timothy Chapter 4

Paul always hits on this topic of deception which is the main reason for causing people to go astray. From verses 1-5, Paul covers deceptive ideologies and false religious beliefs distrupting the church.

  2. Hope in the living God and Savior (verse 10)
  3. Be an example in the way you live (verse 12)
  4. Do not neglect your spiritual gift (verse 14)

1 Timothy Chapter 5

While Colossians 3:18-21 talks about how a Christian household should treat each other, 1 Timothy 5, goes into details on how one should care for the elderly, including widows (verses 1-4).

Verses 5-10 continues to talk about who is a true widow.

He also talks about the difference in how an elderly widow (verse 9-10) and a younger widow (verse 11-15) is to be treated.

1 Timothy Chapter 6

False Teachings

Teachings of the Lord Jesus promote a godly life, but those who teach something different, lack understanding, ending up in jealousy, slander and divisions (verses 3-5).

Real Wealth

But godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6

This is the Chapter that talks about the famous verse – the love of money is the root of all evil (verse 10). Unfortunately, the need for wealth and riches may sometimes cause a person to be led in a wrong direction.

Instead seeking gain in our own strength, we seek the King and His Kingdom.

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33

Final Conclusion

Paul ends this letter, covering everything he has spoken in this book.

  1. Lead a godly life of unwavering faith (verses 11-16)
  2. Do not rely in worldly riches, but lay your trust in God our Provider (verses 17-19)
  3. Do not be caught up in foolish discussions (verses 20-21)
