• a pure heart—a heart from which every motive and thought comes by the. Holy Ghost from a nature within capable of enjoying God in light; which loves to think the thoughts of God, to walk in His ways, to look forward to be with Him, and to enjoy Him even now; and, having such a hope, to purify itself even as He is pure. (“1 Timothy 1”)

• a good conscience—a conscience that can know God in the unsullied purity of light and holiness in which He dwells (“1 Timothy 1”)

• " faith unfeigned;" full and perfect trust and confidence in God Himself, as One who is for him (“1 Timothy 1”)

• It is well accordingly to adhere to the strict expression in 5, as it stands related to verses 3 and 18, which it would be absurd to connect with the law. It is rather in contrast, as an evangelical charge on which the apostle insists (“On 1 Timothy 1:5-11” by W. Kelly)

• These are the effects of the gospel brought home to the believers: of which things the law is essentially incapable. (“On 1 Timothy 1:5-11” by W. Kelly)

• Sound doctrine can only be maintained with a right moral condition. (“The Charge and Its End: 1 Timothy 1” by H. Smith)

• Love in the heart, "a good conscience" and "faith unfeigned" are qualities which God alone can see, though others may see the effect they produce in the life. (“The Charge and Its End: 1 Timothy 1” by H. Smith)

a

There is not the least need of a parenthesis from here to verse 17 inclusively.

b

The Revisers have well given "charge," as in vss. 3 and 18, where "commandment" misleads, as many ignorantly think of the law, especially as this follows in vs. 7, not seeing the contrast. The word "commandment" confounds the thing meant, either with the "commandment" in vs. 1, or still more fatally with the law treated of in vss. 7-10.
