# Now
This word is used here to mark a break in the main teaching. Here Paul explains the purpose of what he is commanding Timothy.
# the commandment

# good conscience
"a conscience that chooses right instead wrong"
# sincere faith

# Some people have missed the mark
Paul speaks of faith in Christ as if it were a target at which to aim. Paul means that some people are not fulfilling the purpose of their faith, which is to love as he just explained in 1:5. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# have turned away from these things
Here "turned away" is an idiom that means they have stopped doing what God has commanded. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
