Use of 'first' in 1 Timothy

 

first (4413 prwtoV  contr. superl. of ; first, chief:--first one )

Emphasis in 1 Tim. is first in  order or in line

 

1 Tim. 1:15-16 This [is] a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.   16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.   

 

1 Tim. 2:1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks be made for all men,  

 

1 Tim. 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.  

 

1 Tim. 3:10 But let these also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons, being [found] blameless.  

 

1 Tim. 5:4 But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents; for this is good and acceptable before God.  

 

1 Tim. 5:12 having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.

How has God designed you to serve in the body?

 


"Are you living an abundant, victorious Christian life?"


 

The Path to Godliness Leads through the Valley of Suffering

1 Cor. 12:24-25 but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, 25 that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
