Under the rule and reign of Christ, even the work of a slave for his master should be motivated by love, especially those who have masters that also believe the gospel of Christ. Touching again upon the theme of false teaching, Paul warns against those whose doctrine opposes such commands to love and honor those in authority over us. Those who teach to the contrary have an unhealthy interest in disputes and arguments over words. Timothy is warned to flee such foolishness and use his strength to fight the good fight of faith and guard the gospel which has been entrusted to him. This reading completes the book of 1 Timothy. In our next reading, we’ll begin the book of 2 Timothy.
