1 Timothy 1
Paul greets Timothy and charges him to stay in Ephesus to confront false teachers promoting misleading doctrines and endless speculations. Paul stresses the importance of love that comes from a pure heart. Paul shares his testimony, recalling how God’s grace saved him despite his past as a persecutor. He exhorts Timothy to hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, warning of those like Hymenaeus and Alexander who have “shipwrecked” their faith.
