Outline of 1Timothy
Nov 3, 2012
Saint Paul addresses issues at the church of Ephesus that are still important for today.
These topics include:
Law and grace
The role of men and women in the church
Christian Maturity and church leadership
The Gospel and It’s ministry
The church and its social responsibility
Contemporary false teachers and the love of money
Notice that the two halves of the chiasm are divided into “instructions” and then “injunctions.” This is because Paul uses the imperative mood 38 times in the second half of the letter (compared to 4x in the first half).
