in your Bible.
Next, mark new paragraph divisions in
your Bible, at the following opening verses:
1:1, 3, 12, 18; 2:1, 9; 3:1, 8, 14; 4:1, 6, 11;
5:1, 3, 9, 11, 17; 6:1, 26, 6, 11, 17, 20. Read
the paragraphs and assign a title for each.
Do you observe any groups of paragraphs
with similar general content?
What have you noticed so far about these
subjects in the epistle: Timothy’s life and
ministry, the church, notes of praise, various
kinds of sin?
C. STRUCTURE
Paul’s letter is a unit from beginning to
end. It is not an unorganized list of
miscellaneous thoughts. Let us look at it
more closely to see its structural
relationships.
1. What is the opening salutation?
2. What would you consider to be the
concluding note?
3. Does the word Amen appear at any
place other than at the end of the letter?
What is the function of such a word?9
4. Does there seem to be a turning point
in the epistle? For example, how does
chapter 3 end?
5. How do the opening words of chapter 2
indicate a beginning of something new here?
Compare what goes before (chap. 1) with
what follows (chaps. 2-3).
6. What reference to the local church is
made in 3:15? Are chapters 2 and 3 about
the subject of the church? Support your
answer.
7. What seems to be the general subject of
chapters 4-6?
D. SURVEY CHART
Survey Chart 97 shows some of the
structure of this letter. Study it carefully, in
the light of your own observations made so
far. Among other things, note the following:
1. A major division is made at 2:1. What is
the two-part outline?
2. The key of the epistle is shown as 3:1416. Read the passage. How is it related to
what goes before and to what follows? How
is this shown on the chart?
3. Study the contents of each chapter as
shown on the chart. What is the di erence
b e t w e e n church regulations
and pastoral
directions?
4. Note the outline indicators at the right
of the chart, the man and the ministry. These
are two subjects that Paul writes much
about in the letter. For example, how is
chapter 1, charge to Timothy, an appropriate
introduction to all that follows?
5. Note the three indicators of hymns on
the charts. Read the passages. What is the
context of each?
