In 1 Timothy Chapter 1, Paul referring to those who purposefully reject keeping a clear conscience. Paul himself survived a serious shipwreck on his way to Rome, so he knew from experience what a danger it could be. Paul uses this analogy to highlight the deadly nature of rejecting a good conscience and maintaining our faith. Verse 19 continues Paul's charge to Timothy from the previous verse. The phrase "holding to your faith and keeping a good conscience" includes the idea of clinging to and not letting go of his faith. Timothy was to do so with a "good conscience." The pairing of faith and conscience is also seen in 1 Timothy 1:5 and 1 Timothy 3:9. A person's faith and their thoughts are closely connected. We are not to shipwreck our faith by deliberately refusing to do the things we know in our heart we ought not to do. But rather, let us run the race that is set before us maintaining our focus and clinging more tightly to our faith in Jesus Christ.
