1 Timothy 01 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Spiritual children
Paul calls Timothy his "son." Paul was very involved in discipling Timothy in his faith. Therefore, he called him his "spiritual" son. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/disciple, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
Genealogies
This is probably a reference to some people's speculation about who the Messiah was. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ)
Important figures of speech in this chapter
Play on words
The phrase "the law is good if one uses it lawfully" is a pun or play on words. "Law" and "lawfully" sound similar.
