1 Timothy 6:3-5a comprises a section on "The Implications of Preaching a False Gospel." We discover that there are two components that we see in this passage that help us as we work with the idea that We must think rightly about false teachers!
In v. 3 we noted that 1) There is the Character of the Content.
Now, we begin a discussion on 2) The character of the false teacher.
In the first part of v. 4 we note two characteristics of the false teacher that give us one side of the equation of figuring them out. These characteristics are absolutely true and must be properly understood. Once they are, then we are set up to understand the other side of the equation which gives us a further set of characteristics that flow from the first two, which is where we will pick up the discussion after this episode.
