1 Timothy 1:5

But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned:

End of the charge ... The meaning here, according to Wesley, is "the end of the whole Christian institution."[18] Thus, as so often in the New Testament, "faith" means "Christianity," not "subjective trust/faith." Wallis also perceived this, saying, "Faith (in this passage) is used in the sense of the faith, sound doctrine."[19]

Love ... good conscience ... faith ... As Hervey said:

These three phrases seem to rebuke by contrast the merely ceremonial cleanness and the defiled conscience and the merely nominal Christianity of those heretical Judaizers.[20]
