1 Timotius 1:7

1:7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or the things they insist on so confidently. ¹ 

1 Timotius 5:24

5:24 The sins of some people are obvious, going before them into judgment, but for others, they show up later. ² 

1 Timotius 6:10

6:10 For the love of money is the root ³  of all evils. ⁴  Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

[1:7]  ¹ tn The Greek reinforces this negation: “understand neither what they are saying nor the things they insist on…”

[5:24]  ² tn Grk “they [the sins] follow after others.”

[6:10]  ³ tn This could be taken to mean “a root,” but the phrase “of all evils” clearly makes it definite. This seems to be not entirely true to life (some evils are unrelated to love of money), but it should be read as a case of hyperbole (exaggeration to make a point more strongly).

[6:10]  ⁴ tn Many translations render this “of all kinds of evil,” especially to allow for the translation “a root” along with it. But there is no parallel for taking a construction like this to mean “all kinds of” or “every kind of.” The normal sense is “all evils.”
