1 Timothy 1

Paul urges Timothy to confront false teachers in Ephesus promoting strange doctrines, myths, and endless genealogies that miss the Torah's true purpose of love from a pure heart, good conscience, and sincere faith[1][2][4]. He shares his testimony as the foremost sinner saved by grace through Christ Jesus, commissioning Timothy to fight the good fight like faithful Onesiphorus[1][4].
