1 Timothy 1:5 Context
3As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4Neither giue heed to fables, and endlesse genealogies, which minister questions, rather then edifying which is in faith: so doe. 5Now the end of the commandement is charity, out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith vnfained. 6From which some hauing swarued, haue turned aside vnto vaine iangling, 7Desiring to bee teachers of the Law, vnderstāding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirme.

Wesley's Notes for 1 Timothy 1:5
1:5 Whereas the end of the commandment - of the whole Christian institution. Is love - And this was particularly the end of the commandment which Timotheus was to enforce at Ephesus, #1Tim 1:3|,18. The foundation is faith; the end, love. But this can only subsist in an heart purified by faith, and is always attended with a good conscience.
People's Bible Notes for 1 Timothy 1:5
1Ti 1:5 The end of the commandment is charity. The purpose of "the charge" (Revised Version) entrusted to you is love. See 1Ti 1:3. You must show these teachers that instead of teaching foolish fables they must inculcate love. The three things essential to a pure and holy love are: (1) A pure heart; (2) a good conscience; and (3) sincere faith.
