1 Timothy: Good Stuff

  1. "Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies." If we follow this advice we would ignore most of the Bible -- especially the genealogies found in Gen 10, 1 Chr 1-9, Mt 1, and Lk 3. 1:4

  2. "Refuse ... old wives' fables." What about old husbands' fables? Old Bible fables? 4:7

  3. "We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." 6:7

  4. "Having food and raiment let us be therewith content." 6:8

  5. "They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition." 6:9

  6. "The love of money is the root of all evil." 6:10

  7. "Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be ... ready to distribute." 6:17-18
