‏ 1 Timothy 1:2

 True ( γνησιω ). Legitimate, not spurious. Old word from  γινομα, but Pauline only in N.T. (Php 4:3; 2Co 8:8; Tit 1:4). In Php 2:20 the adverb  γνησιως occurs and of Timothy again.

 Christ Jesus ( Χριστου Ιησου ). So twice already in verse 1 and as usual in the later Epistles (Col 1:1; Eph 1:1).
