1 Timothy 1 - Key

v11

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

On one hand, the gospel is about grace, not about laws of what we can and can't do to be righteous. On the other hand, there is a righteous manner of life that's in accordance with the gospel. And, we should have good teaching about sin and righteousness.

Philippians 1:27
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

This means that we should Behave in a way that's suitable to the gospel. We've received salvation through the gospel, and now we should live in a manner worthy of it.

Application

v13
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief.

When I've fallen into sin, I won't think, I've already sinned anyway, so I might as well stop trying to do what's right. I'll get back up and do what's right when I have a chance.
