1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 3New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

-
the sacred secret of the faith: This phrase apparently refers to truths about the Christian faith. These truths had been secrets, or they had been unknown, until God revealed them to followers of his Son. So a ministerial servant had to do more than assist the elders in practical ways. He also had to be a firm and loyal supporter of revealed truth, eager and able to defend this body of beliefs.
a clean conscience: See study note on Ro 2:15.
