Chapter Summaries of 1 Timothy

1 Paul, to Timothy my son. Stay in Ephesus to correct false teachers. Christ came into the world to save sinners. Glory to God forever!

2 Let prayers be made for all those in authority. God wants everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth. Let women learn in silence.

3 An overseer must be respectable and manage his family well. Deacons must be dignified and not greedy. Godliness is a great mystery.

4 In later times some will depart from the faith. Have nothing to do with godless myths. Devote yourself to Scripture and to teaching.

5 Put widows over sixty on the list. Younger widows should marry. Elders who rule well are worthy of double honour. Keep yourself pure.

6 Those who contradict the teaching of Christ understand nothing. The love of money is a root of evil. Fight the good fight of faith.
