God’s Economy: The House Law of The House of The Living God and how one should conduct himself in it (words copied from 1 Timothy, Berean Literal Bible)

God: Father who gives grace, mercy and peace. A Savior God through Jesus Christ our Lord

Contrasting approaches are given to Timothy by Paul so that he may know how it behooves one to conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.
And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness:
Who was revealed in the flesh,
was justified in the Spirit,
was seen by angels,
was proclaimed among the nations,
was believed on in the world,
was taken up in glory.

Right Approach:

In faith with a goal of instruction that is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and a sincere faith.

Like Paul who had thankfulness to Christ Jesus his Lord who had strengthened him and esteemed him faithful, having appointed him to service, being formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent; but was shown mercy, because he did it in unbelief, being ignorant. And the grace of our Lord surpassingly increased with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom the apostle Paul wasthe foremost. But because of this he was shown mercy, that in him Christ Jesus might display perfect patience, as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him to eternal life. This Christ is King of the ages, immortal, invisible, only God. To him be honor and glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.

Those who are children of such a sent one are charged according to prophecies going before as to them that by them they might wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience.

Wrong approach: Those who teach other doctrines and/or give heed to myths and endless genealogies, which bring speculations. Having missed the mark, have turned aside to meaningless discourse, desiring to be teachers of the Law, understanding neither what they are saying nor that about which they confidently assert. These don’t understand that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully. It is not enacted for a righteous one, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for slayers of man, for the sexually immoral, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and if anything other is opposed to being sound in the teaching, according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God

Having cast away faith and a good conscience have caused a shipwreck concerning the faith. Among whom were Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom Paul handed over to Satan, that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.

Instructions to ministers regarding what their exhortations and instructions to others in the house of God should be:

Qualifications for overseers and serving ones are in Ch 3:1-13

But the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, in the hypocrisy of liars, having been seared in the own conscience, forbidding to marry, commanding to abstain from foods that God created for reception with thanksgiving by the faithful and those knowing the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving, for it sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Laying before the brothers these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good teaching that you have closely followed.
But refuse profane and silly fables. Rather, train yourself to godliness. For bodily exercise is of a little profit, but godliness is profitable for everything, holding the promise of the present life and of the one coming. Trustworthy is the saying, and worthy of full acceptance.

For this we toil and strive, because we have hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. Command and teach these things.

Let no one despise your youth, but be a pattern for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Give heed to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

Do not be negligent of the gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elderhood. Ponder these things; be absorbed in them, so that your progress may be evident to all. Give heed to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them; for doing this, you will save both yourself and those hearing you.

Guidelines for Reproof, supporting widows, and a final charge are in Chapter 5
