Notes
The promise of eternal life reduces the attraction of wealth (see 6:19).
Paul probably refers to when Timothy confessed his faith during baptism.
Before ending the discussion on wealth, Paul urges Timothy to live an innocent life. Paul encourages Timothy to flee the desire for wealth.
The final major part of the letter focuses on Timothy's need to challenge the false teachers. This section mirrors the structure of 1:3–20.
