The Apostle Paul wrote to the young pastor, Timothy with "charges" or issuing "commands" as a superior officer would a soldier. In our verse of the week, 1 Timothy 1:5, Paul wrote of "the end of the commandment." The "commandment" was the charge that Paul gave to Timothy as this is from the same Greek word as "charge." The "end" simply means, "the goal" or "aim." Paul wanted Timothy to stay "right" no matter what hardships or obstacles he faced.
