1 Timothy 1:19

1:19 To do this ¹  you must hold firmly to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck in regard to the faith.

1 Timothy 5:12

5:12 and so incur judgment for breaking their former pledge. ² 

1 Timothy 6:21

6:21 By professing it, some have strayed from the faith. ³  Grace be with you all. ⁴ 

1 Timothy 6:11

6:11 But you, as a person dedicated to God, ⁵  keep away from all that. ⁶  Instead pursue righteousness, godliness, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness.

1 Timothy 5:8

5:8 But if someone does not provide for his own, ⁷  especially his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

[1:19]  ¹ tn In Greek this continues the same sentence from v. 18, a participle showing the means by which Timothy will accomplish his task: Grk “fight the good fight, holding firmly…”

[5:12]  ² tn Grk “incurring judgment because they reject their first faith.”

[6:21]  ³ tn Grk “have deviated concerning the faith.”

[6:21]  ⁴ tc Most witnesses (א² D¹ Ψ Ï sy) conclude this letter with ἀμήν (amhn, “amen”). Such a conclusion is routinely added by scribes to NT books because a few of these books originally had such an ending (cf. Rom 16:27; Gal 6:18; Jude 25). A majority of Greek witnesses have the concluding ἀμήν in every NT book except Acts, James, and 3 John (and even in these books, ἀμήν is found in some witnesses). It is thus a predictable variant. Further, the earliest and best witnesses (א* A D* F G 33 81 1739* 1881 it sa) lack the particle, indicating that the letter concluded with “Grace be with you all.”

[6:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “O man of God.”

[6:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “flee these things.”

[5:8]  ⁵ tn That is, “his own relatives.”
