1 Timóteo 1:1
It is not nature but faith that has made Timothy a son. — INTERPRETATION OF THE FIRST LETTER TO TIMOTHY
1 Timóteo 1:4
Believers of Jewish background, taking pride in their knowledge of the Old Testament, laid certain questions before Gentile believers. They did this in order to take advantage of their ignorance of these same divine words, and in the attempt to persuade them to embrace the law as a way of life. They rehearsed with them the human genealogy of the Lord as descended from Abraham and David. Therefore, Paul instructs Timothy to block these people and to prevent them from corrupting the teaching. The others he orders not to listen. He calls their ideas "myth" because they involve the Jewish, Mishna-like exposition of the Scripture, which focuses on superfluous and useless questions, rather than the essential divine economy of salvation. — INTERPRETATION OF THE FIRST LETTER TO TIMOTHY
1 Timóteo 1:8
To use the law appropriately is to keep its purpose, that is, to lead one to Christ the Lord. Those who refrain from the sins that Paul mentions are living in conformity with the law. — INTERPRETATION OF THE FIRST LETTER TO TIMOTHY
1 Timóteo 1:18
With the name of "son," Paul gives his blessing to Timothy. — INTERPRETATION OF THE LETTER TO THE ROMANS

By recalling prophecy, Paul makes it clear that Timothy received the laying on of hands in accordance with divine revelation, and after numerous signs that he, Timothy, had been so elected. — INTERPRETATION OF THE FIRST LETTER TO TIMOTHY
1 Timóteo 1:20
The sinner is separated from the body of the church, stripped of divine grace, and so will be cruelly beaten by the Adversary, will fall into illnesses and painful passions and into a host of scrapes and calamities. It is understood that the sentence will be revoked when the sinner has repented. — INTERPRETATION OF THE FIRST LETTER TO TIMOTHY
