1 Timothy - At A Glance

Theme: We have to know the truth in order to defend it. We must cling to the belief that Christ came to save us. We need to avoid those who twist the Bible for their own purposes.

1-11_Speaking to Timothy, Paul said, remain in Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines or pay attention to things that are just speculation. The law is good when used correctly. It is for the lawless, that is, those who commit perversions. The law points out sin.

__12-17_I used to be a blasphemer and a persecutor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted out of ignorance. Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I am the greatest of sinners. Jesus demonstrated His perfect patience with me to show that anyone can be saved who puts his trust in Him.

__18-20_Fight the good fight keeping faith and a good conscience. To neglect this will result in making a wreck of one's life.

1-7_I urge you to pray for all men, and especially kings and those in authority so that we may lead quiet lives. God wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. Jesus ransomed us and I am appointed to teach the Gentiles in faith and truth.

__8-15_So I am asking men to pray with uplifted holy hands. I also ask the women to dress and act in a way that testifies of their holy calling. It seems best to not have women in authority over men. A woman's best purpose would seem to be her demonstration of her faith and love through her family.

1-7_If a man wants to be an elder there are traits he should possess. He should be the husband of one wife, and be temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable and able to teach. He should manage his own house well. He should not be a new convert and he should have a good reputation.

__8-13_Deacons must be men of dignity, straight with everyone and not drunkards. They must hold to the faith with a clear conscience. Let a man serve as deacon only after proving he is above reproach. Each should the husband of one wife and good managers of their children and their household. Women are to be faithful, too.

__14-16_I want each of you to know how he should conduct himself in God's house. We serve a living God. The mystery of Godliness is great. Jesus was revealed in the flesh and witnessed of by the Spirit. He was beheld by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on and taken to heaven.

1-5_The Spirit plainly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith by paying attention to the doctrine of demons. Some will forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from food that God meant for us to eat.

__6-16_Discipline yourself with Godliness. Be constantly nourished on the words of faith and sound doctrine. Give attention to public reading of Scripture.

1-16_Do not sharply rebuke older men. Appeal to them as fathers and the younger men as brothers. Appeal to the older women as mothers and the younger women as sisters. Honor widows if they are actually widows. As far as possible, let their families be responsible for them.

__17-25_Head elders are worthy of double honor, especially those who teach and preach. Do not listen to any accusation of an elder without two or three witnesses. Rebuke those who continue in sin. Resist all partiality. Do not promote any person hastily. Keep yourself free from sin.

1-2_Those who are slaves should regard their masters as worthy of all honor. This will help God to be honored. Those who have masters who are believers should serve their masters as fellow believers.

__3-10_Godliness is great gain when accompanied by contentment. We brought nothing into the world and we will take nothing out of it. If we have food and covering that should be enough. Riches cause many to fall into temptation. The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil and has caused many to wander from the faith.

__11-16_Run away from the love of things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Fight the good fight. Take hold of eternal life. Keep the commandments. God alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light. To Him be honor and eternal dominion.

__17-21_Instruct those who are rich to do good things with their wealth. In so doing they will store up treasure in the life to come. Guard those things that have been entrusted to you. Avoid worldly and empty chatter. Avoid arguments concerning what is falsely called knowledge. Grace be with you.
