1 Timothy 1:2

1 Timothy 1:2

Greeting

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the commandment of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

2 To Timothy, a ^atrue son in the faith: ^bGrace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

No Other Doctrine

3 As I urged you ^awhen I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some ^bthat they teach no other doctrine,

4 ^anor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.

5 Now ^athe purpose of the commandment is love ^bfrom a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from¹ sincere faith,

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).
