1 Timothy 3:15

3:15 in case I am delayed, to let you know how people ought to conduct themselves ¹  in the household of God, because it is ²  the church of the living God, the support and bulwark of the truth.

1 Timothy 4:1

Timothy’s Ministry in the Later Times

4:1 Now the Spirit explicitly says that in the later times some will desert the faith and occupy themselves ³  with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings, ⁴ 

1 Timothy 4:12

4:12 Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in your speech, conduct, love, faithfulness, ⁵  and purity.

1 Timothy 6:10

6:10 For the love of money is the root ⁶  of all evils. ⁷  Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

[3:15]  ¹ tn Grk “how it is necessary to behave.”

[3:15]  ² tn Grk “which is” (but the relative clause shows the reason for such conduct).

[4:1]  ³ tn Or “desert the faith by occupying themselves.”

[4:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “teachings of demons” (speaking of the source of these doctrines).

[4:12]  ⁵ tn Or “faith.”

[6:10]  ⁷ tn This could be taken to mean “a root,” but the phrase “of all evils” clearly makes it definite. This seems to be not entirely true to life (some evils are unrelated to love of money), but it should be read as a case of hyperbole (exaggeration to make a point more strongly).

[6:10]  ⁸ tn Many translations render this “of all kinds of evil,” especially to allow for the translation “a root” along with it. But there is no parallel for taking a construction like this to mean “all kinds of” or “every kind of.” The normal sense is “all evils.”
