| '''Questions'''
|-
| [[Hymenaeus]] and Alexander([[1 Timothy 1]]:20) evidently had professed a faith in Christ at one point, but that “faith” was seen as a ''shipwreck''. The wreck was cause by, if we look at Verse 19 by not "Holding faith, and a good conscience". They refused to allow others to simply the following of the dictates of [[conscience]] and were seen as walking according to the flesh and not the Spirit ([[Romans 8]]:5–9), behaving like ''unbelievers''. 
|-
| The people of [[Ephesus]] for the most part preferred [[covetous practices]] of their temple system and would be seen as ''infidels''. If they did not live by "[[charity]] out of a pure heart, and of a good [[conscience]], and of [[faith]] unfeigned:"<Ref name="anupokritos">{{505}}</Ref> Paul would have to see them as commended to the adversary, [[Satan]].
* [[1 Timothy 5]]:8 "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the [[faith]], and is worse than an infidel."<Ref name="apistos">{{571}}</Ref>."
|-
| Albert Barnes wrote, “People become infidels because they wish to indulge in sin. No man can be a sensualist, and yet love that gospel which enjoins purity of life. If people would keep a good conscience,(''commending others to do the same'') the way to a steady belief in the gospel would be easy. If people will not, they must expect sooner or later to be landed in infidelity.”<Ref name="apistos">{{571}}</Ref>
|-
| Hymenaeus and Philetus([[2 Timothy 2]]:17) were doing a ''most serious injury to the church by their teaching''. Hymenæus and Philetus, and especially with the famous [[Sadducee]]s school who did not believe in the immortality of the soul.  Some ascetic Jewish sects of [[Essenes]] and Therapeutæ had other doctrines about the soul. [[Sadducees]] which attracted many of the ''cultured and wealthy Jews''.  
|-
|HYMENAEUS is pertaining to Hymen and is the god of marriage and appears in [[2 Timothy 2]]:17.  They "rejecting conscience", had made shipwreck<Ref name="nauageo">{{3489}}</Ref> of their faith (1 Tim 1:20). Paul’s delivery of them to Satan has been much discussed (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:5).

== 1 Timothy 1 ==
 
=== Greeting ===

: 1 ¶  Paul, an [[apostle]] of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our [[Saviour]], and Lord [[Jesus]] [[Christ]], which is our hope;
: 2  Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.

== Warning Against False Teachers ==

: 3  As I besought thee to abide still at [[Ephesus]], when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
: 4  Neither give heed to [[fables]]<Ref name="muthos">{{3454}}</Ref><Ref name="geneologies">{{geneologies}}</Ref> and endless [[genealogy|genealogies]]<Ref name="geneologies">{{geneologies}}</Ref>, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in [[faith]]: so do.

: 5 ¶  Now the end of the commandment<Ref name="paraggelia">{{3852}}</Ref> is [[charity]] out of a pure heart, and of a good [[conscience]], and of [[faith]] unfeigned:(without dissimulation (hypocrisy))<Ref name="anupokritos">{{505}}</Ref>
: 6  From which some having swerved<Ref name="astocheo">{{795}}</Ref> have turned aside unto vain jangling;<Ref name="mataiologia">{{3150}}</Ref>
: 7  Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
: 8  But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
: 9  Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
: 10  For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to [[sound doctrine]];
: 11  According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

== Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners ==

: 12 ¶  And I thank [[Christ]] [[Jesus]] our [[Lord]], who hath enabled me, for that he counted me [[faithful]], putting me into the ministry;
: 13  Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained [[mercy]], because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
: 14  And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
: 15  This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
: 16  Howbeit for this cause I obtained [[mercy]], that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
: 17  Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

: 18 ¶  This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
: 19  Holding [[faith]], and a good [[conscience]]; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:<Ref name="nauageo">{{3489}}</Ref>
: 20  Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto [[Satan]], that they may learn not to [[blaspheme]].
