1st Tim. 1:8-9 "But we know that the law is good, if a man use it
lawfully; knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous
man, but for the lawless and disobedient"

1st Tim. 1:20 "of whom is Hymene'us and Alwxander; whom I have
delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme."

1st Tim.   2:1-3 "I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be
made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority;
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and
honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our
Saviour;"
    (Luther's doctrine of supporting the state, good or
bad)

1st Tim. 2:5 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God
and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
    (Exclusive)

1st Tim. 2:9-15 "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves
in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with
braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which
becometh women professing godliness with good works.   Let the
women learn in silence with all subjection.   But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in
silence.   For Adam was first formed, them Eve. And Adam was not
deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Not withstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they
continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."
    (Paul's place for a woman)

1st Tim. 3:2-3 "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of
one wife,   vigilant,   sober,   of good behavior,   given to
hospitality, apt to teach; not given to wine, no striker, not
greedy of filthy lucre;   but patient, not a brawler, not
covetous;"
    (Polygamy all right)
1st Tim. 3:8 "Likewise must be the deacons be grave, not double-
tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;"
    (Double-tongued people in Paul's time)

1st Tim. 4:4 "For every creature of God is good, and nothing to
be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:"
    (Teaching against the law)

1st Tim. 4:14 "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the
prebytery."
    (What is a presbytery?)

1st Tim. 5:5-6 "Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate,
trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers
night and day. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she
liveth."
    (Behavior of widows)

1st Tim. 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."
    (the work ethic?)

1st Tim. 5:9 "Let not a widow be taken into the number under
threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,"
    (Widows cared for by the church?)

1st Tim. 5:16 "If any man or woman that believeth have widows,
let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it
may relieve them that are widows indeed."
    (Church to care for widows)

1st Tim. 5:23 "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for
thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities."
    (Montezuma's revenge on travelers)

1st Tim. 6:1-2 "Let as many servants as are under the yoke count
their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and
his doctrine be not blasphemed.   And they that have believing
masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren;
but rather do them service, because they are faithful and
beloved, partakers of the benefit."
    (Be good employers)

1st Tim. 6:7-11 "For we brought nothing into this world, and it
is certain we can carry nothing out.   And having food and
raiment, let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich
fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and
hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For
the love of money is the root of all evil:   which while some
coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows.   But thou, O man of God,
flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness,
faith, love, patience, meekness."

1st Tim. 6:17-19 "Charge them that are rich in this world, that
they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in
the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that
they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to
distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for
themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they
may lay hold on eternal life."
    (Advice for the rich)
