Answer: The man, Christ Jesus
According to this text, Paul is saying that God wishes for everyone to be saved from wrath and come to the knowledge of His truth. Interestingly, Paul ends this passage with the following words of encouragement and also with a warning;
"...that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting."
Paul seems to be saying that people have the ability to be holy in God's eyes by avoiding anger at their fellow men and by not doubting the Word of God, acting on its promises instead.

Answer: blasphemer
It says in I Timothy 1:13, "Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief."
Blasphemy is speaking bad words against God, or using His name in a way that does not honor Him.
From Quiz: I Timothy
Answer: He is suffering imprisonment
"So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner. But join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God ... And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day." (2 Timothy 1 v. 8 and 11-12)
This is a continuation of an argument that Paul has used in some of his other letters, namely that his sufferings do not negate the truth of the gospel he carries. In fact, he goes further in this letter by stating that "everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Timothy 3 v. 12). The text may be familiar to some from the song "I Know Whom I Have Believed", written by the nineteenth-century revivalist Daniel Whittle.

Answer: my own son in the faith
In chapter one, Paul writes "Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.", (1 Timothy 1: verse 2). In his second epistle to Timothy, Paul refers to him as "my dearly beloved son:", (2 Timothy 1: verse 2). Paul never refers to Timothy as 'my son in Christ Jesus'.

From Quiz: 1 Timothy
Answer: for others to believe and receive eternal life
The Apostle Paul retells his testimony to Timothy of how God showed mercy to him when he was once a persecutor and a blasphemer that acted out of ignorance. Paul had thrown many Christians in jail and watched their executions, believing he was doing the will of God. God changed him though when He knocked him off his donkey and revealed who He was. Paul became a changed man and a preacher of the gospel he had once hated.
In his words, Paul told Timothy, "Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." (I Timothy 1:15-17, NIV)

Answer: bishops and deacons
Paul gives a straightforward expectation of officers of the church, both bishops and deacons, in this passage. He concludes the chapter with the following commentary about the mysteries of God, His Spirit, and His Son:
"God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of the angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, RECEIVED up into glory." (The emphasis is mine. The quote comes from the King James Version.)

Answer: the house of Onesiphoras
It says in II Timothy 1:16, "The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain."
The name Onesiphoras means "profit bearing". This was a Christian in Ephesians who sought to find out where Paul was when Paul was imprisoned.
The other names were completely fabricated.
