• "God our Savior," a blessed title of relation to all mankind. Without this, church government ever tends to be dry and narrow. Timothy was to regard God thus that his heart might be kept large and fresh, notwithstanding the details of care for the assembly in general or for individuals (“On 1 Timothy 1:1-4” by W. Kelly)

• He does not say “mercy” to the assemblies, which stand before God as such, in consequence of the mercy shown them, and which (however low their condition might be) are viewed as assemblies according to the nature in which they live by the Spirit, in which there is no question of mercy, because that nature is itself of God. Grace and peace are that which they are to enjoy on the part of God. (“1 Timothy 1” by J.N. Darby)

• The Epistles of the Apostle Paul are mainly corrective, being written to meet grave disorders and erroneous teaching that troubled the early Assemblies. There are, however epistles, as for instance the Epistle to the Ephesians and the First Epistle to Timothy, that are mainly instructive, inasmuch as they present the Church in its divine order according to the mind of God. (“1 Timothy: Introductory” by H. Smith)

• Presenting the behavior consistent with God's House, it follows that practice, rather than doctrine, passes before us in the Epistle. (“1 Timothy: Introductory” by H. Smith)

• He presents God as the Savior of the world and Christ as the only hope of the soul. (“The Charge and Its End: 1 Timothy 1” by H. Smith)

• The First Epistle to Timothy presents the Church of God as the House of God and prescribes its divine order according to the mind of God….In the Second Epistle to Timothy all is changed. The Church, as the House of God, is no longer seen as maintained in order according to God, but as having fallen into disorder through the failure of man. In view of this failure and disorder the ApostlePaul writes to Timothy to encourage, instruct and exhort him in a day of ruin; and, further, to warn him that the evil would continue and increase. (“2 Timothy: Introduction” by H. Smith)

• {2 Timothy sets} before us the greatness of our resources in God, in Christ and in the Scriptures, in order that we may be sustained in the midst of the evil and walk according to the mind of God in difficult times. (“2 Timothy: Introduction” by H. Smith)
