Discovery Box1 Timothy 1:7 
Context1:7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently. 1
1 Timothy 1:19
Context1:19 To do this 2 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 4:16
Context4:16 Be conscientious about how you live and what you teach. 3 Persevere in this, because by doing so you will save both yourself and those who listen to you.
1 Timothy 6:19
Context6:19 In this way they will save up 4 a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation 5 for the future and so lay hold of 6 what is truly life.
1 tn The Greek reinforces this negation: “understand neither what they are saying nor the things they insist on…”
2 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…”
3 tn Grk “about yourself and your teaching.”
4 tn Grk “saving up” (the continuation of 6:18). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 19.
5 tn Grk “treasuring up a good foundation.”
6 tn Grk “that they may lay hold of.”
