Context of 1 Timothy 1:5
3Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines, 4nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] in faith. But the end of what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith; 6which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse, 7desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.

Commentaries on 1 Timothy 1:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5Now the end of the commandment is charity - These genealogical questions lead to strife and debate; and the dispensation of God leads to love both to God and man, through faith in Christ. These genealogical questions leave the heart under the influence of all its vile tempers and evil propensities; Faith in Jesus purifies the heart. No inquiry of this kind can add to any thing by which the guilt of sin can be taken away; but the Gospel proclaims pardon…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5Now the end of the commandment - see the notes on Romans 10:4. In order that Timothy might fulfil the design of his appointment, it was necessary that he should have a correct view of the design of the law. The teachers to whom he refers insisted much on its obligation and importance; and Paul designs to say that he did not intend to teach that the law was of no consequence, and was not, when properly understood, obligatory. Its nature and use, however…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-11Verses 5-11 Whatever tends to weaken love to God, or love to the brethren, tends to defeat the end of the commandment. The design of the gospel is answered, when sinners, through repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ, are brought to exercise Christian love. And as believers were righteous persons in God's appointed way, the law was not against them. But unless we are made righteous by faith in Christ, really repenting and forsaking sin, we are…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5The goal of our instruction: Paul intends to encourage a life committed to God that comes from sincere faith and spiritual renewal (see Titus 3:5; see also 1 Corinthians 13:1–13; Colossians 3:14). In 1 Timothy and Titus, references to a clear conscience contrast with the false teachers’ dead consciences (for example, 1 Timothy 1:19; 4:2; Titus 1:15).Read the comment

Referring to the same Greek word as in 1Ti 1:3, 18; here, however, in a larger sense, as including the Gospel "dispensation of God" (see on 1Ti 1:4; 1Ti 1:11), which was the sum and substance of the "charge" committed to Timothy wherewith he should "charge" his flock. charity--LOVE; the sum and end of…Read the comment
