1 TIMOTHY 1:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;”
This charge I entrust to you, Timothy, in accordance with the prophecies previously made about you, that by them you may wage the good warfare — the martial metaphor (strateuō kalon agōna) frames Timothy's pastoral ministry as spiritual combat. The prophecies (proemphilopsian) suggest Timothy's gifts were recognized and confirmed through charismatic utterance.
