Contemplative Bible Reading

1 Timothy 1:5 (New Living Translation)

The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith.

Paul writes a letter of encouragement and instruction to Timothy. The purpose of the letter is simple, well, maybe not simple, but Paul attempts to articulate it in a simple, understandable manner:

Love from the heart, the mind, and faith that Jesus of Nazareth was the Son of God anointed to take away the sins of the world. Paul writes it in fewer words.

Still, great words for everyone, everywhere in every time.
