1 Timothy 1:18-20 Part 1 of 2

Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

Timothy, my son 
1 Timothy 1:2  To Timothy my true son in the faith: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you 
1 Timothy 4:14  Do not neglect your gift which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. 

so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well 
1 Timothy 6:12  Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
2 Timothy 2:3  Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 4:7  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

holding on to faith and a good conscience 
1 Timothy 1:5  The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
1 Timothy 3:9  They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience.
Hebrews 9:14  How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
Hebrews 10:22  ... let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
1 Peter 1:15-16  But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." (Leviticus 11:44, 45; 19:2)
