Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 1:5 Go To 1 Timothy 1
Caesarius of Arles
AD 542
Ascend the mountain and see the end. Christ is the mountain; come to him, and from there you will see the end of all perfection. What is the end? Ask Paul, “Now the purpose of this charge is charity, from a pure heart and a pure conscience and faith unfeigned,” and in another place, “love is the fulfillment of the law.” … Therefore, whatever you do, do it for the love of Christ, and let the intention or end of all your actions look to him. Do nothing for the sake of human praise, but everything for love of God and the desire for eternal life.
