This phrase underscores the importance of having a clear objective in Christian instruction. In the context of the early church, false teachings were prevalent, and Paul sought to establish sound doctrine. This aligns with the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>), where Jesus commands His disciples to teach all nations. The instruction here is not merely academic but transformative, aiming to produce a specific outcome in the lives of believers.is the love Love is central to Christian doctrine, reflecting the greatest commandments to love God and neighbor (<a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37-39</a>). This love is agape, a selfless, sacrificial love that mirrors Christ's love for humanity. In <a href="/1_corinthians/13.htm">1 Corinthians 13</a>, Paul elaborates on the nature of this love, which is patient, kind, and enduring. The emphasis on love as the goal of instruction highlights that true knowledge of God results in love for others, fulfilling the law (<a href="/romans/13-10.htm">Romans 13:10</a>).that comes from a pure heart A pure heart signifies inner moral integrity and sincerity before God. In biblical terms, the heart is the center of one's being, encompassing thoughts, emotions, and will. <a href="/psalms/51-10.htm">Psalm 51:10</a> reflects David's plea for a clean heart, emphasizing the need for divine intervention to achieve purity. Jesus also taught that the pure in heart will see God (<a href="/matthew/5-8.htm">Matthew 5:8</a>), indicating that purity is essential for a genuine relationship with Him.a clear conscience A clear conscience involves an awareness of one's actions aligning with God's standards. In <a href="/acts/24-16.htm">Acts 24:16</a>, Paul speaks of striving to maintain a clear conscience before God and man. This concept is rooted in the Old Testament, where the conscience is linked to the law written on the heart (<a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>). A clear conscience is vital for spiritual confidence and effective ministry, as it reflects a life lived in obedience to God's commands.and a sincere faith Sincere faith is genuine and unfeigned, contrasting with hypocrisy or superficial belief. <a href="/hebrews/11.htm">Hebrews 11:1</a> defines faith as the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. This faith is foundational to the Christian life, as it is by faith that believers are justified (<a href="/romans/5.htm">Romans 5:1</a>). A sincere faith is evidenced by trust in God's promises and a life that reflects His truth, as seen in the lives of the patriarchs and prophets.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a> The apostle who authored the letter to Timothy, providing guidance and instruction for church leadership and personal conduct. 2. <a href="/topical/t/timothy.htm">Timothy</a> A young pastor and protégé of Paul, stationed in Ephesus, tasked with addressing false teachings and establishing sound doctrine. 3. <a href="/topical/e/ephesus.htm">Ephesus</a> The city where Timothy was ministering, known for its diverse culture and the presence of false teachings that Paul addresses in his letters.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_centrality_of_love.htm">The Centrality of Love</a> The ultimate aim of Christian teaching and instruction is love.

Though Timothy must resist and oppose these false teachers with all courage and firmness, still he must not forget what was the real end, the aim, the purpose of all Christian teaching, which, the Apostle reminds him, is Love.Of the commandment.--There is no reference here to the famous commandments of the Law of Moses. "Commandment" may be paraphrased in this place by "practical teaching."With the false teachers' sickly "fables," which only led to disputing, St. Paul contrasts that "healthy practical teaching," the end and aim of which was love, or charity.Charity.--That love, or broad, comprehensive charity, towards men, so nobly described in 1 Corinthians 13.Out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.--This broad all-embracing love, or charity, emanates only from "a pure heart:" i.e., a heart free from selfish desires and evil passions. The "pure in heart" alone, said the Lord, in the sermon on the mount (<a href="/matthew/5-8.htm" title="Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.">Matthew 5:8</a>), shall enjoy the beatific vision of God.And of a good conscience.--This "charity" must also spring from a conscience unburthened of its load of guilt, from a conscience sprinkled with the precious blood, and so reconciled to God.And of faith unfeigned.--And, lastly, the root of this "charity"--the end and aim of the practical teaching of the gospel preached by the Apostles--must be sought in "a faith unfeigned," in a faith that consists in something more than in a few high-sounding words, which lay claim to a sure confidence that is not felt. The "unfeigned faith" of St. Paul is a faith rich in works rather than in words.Without this faith, so real that its fruits are ever manifest, there can be no good conscience; without this conscience, washed by the precious blood, there can be no pure heart.The error of the teachers of whom Timothy was warned, we see from the next verse, consisted not so much in false doctrines as in an utter neglect of inculcating the necessity of a pure, self-denying life. They preferred curious questions and speculative inquiries to the grave, simple gospel teaching which led men to live an earnest, loving life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_timothy/1.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 5. - But for now, A.V.; charge for commandment, A.V.; love for charity, A.V.; a good for of a good, and faith for of faith, A.V. But the end of the charge. Before proceeding with his sentence, in which he was about solemnly to commit the trust of the episcopate of the Church of Ephesus to Timothy, he breaks off abruptly to show the beneficent character of the charge, viz. the furtherance of that brotherly love and purity of heart and life which are the true fruit of the gospel dispensation, but which some, by their false doctrine, were so ruthlessly impeding. Each of these phrases, "a pure heart" and "a good conscience" and "faith unfeigned," seems to rebuke by contrast the merely ceremonial cleanness and the defiled conscience and the merely nominal Christianity of these heretical Judaizers (comp. <a href="/titus/1-10.htm">Titus 1:10-16</a>). <a href="/commentaries/1_timothy/1-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>The Τὸ (To) Article - Nominative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
