‏ 1 Timothy 1:6-7

Summary for 1Tim 1:6-11: 1:6-11 ^a Paul now elaborates on the false teachers and turns their subject matter against them. 1:6 ^b Some people is probably a put-down, demoting the false teachers to a general class of opponents of the Good News (cp. Rom 3:8 ^c; 1 Cor 4:18 ^d; 2 Cor 3:1 ^e; Gal 1:7 ^f).

• They were professing believers who had missed the whole point of the Good News and had turned away.
1:7 ^g Their aspirations to be teachers of the law of Moses were ironic; their handling of the law was deficient in the light of the Good News, and they neither understood nor fulfilled the law (see 1:8-11 ^h).
