Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
True (gnhsiw). Legitimate, not spurious. Old word from ginomai, but Pauline only in N.T. (Philippians 4:3; II Corinthians 8:8; Titus 1:4). In Philippians 2:20 the adverb gnhsiwv occurs and of Timothy again. 
Christ Jesus (Xristou Ihsou). So twice already in verse I Timothy 1:1 and as usual in the later Epistles (Colossians 1:1; Ephesians 1:1).
Other Robertson's Word Pictures (NT) entries containing 1 Timothy 1:2:
Acts 16:1
2 Timothy 1:2
Titus 1:4
2 John 1:1
