1 Timothy 4:13 NASB

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:1-99

1Tim 4 VERSE 1Ti_4:1 of chapter 4 must be read in connection with the last two verses of chapter 3 God dwells in the church as His house by the Holy Spirit and the church is the pillar on which the truth is inscribed. Now the indwelling Spirit speaks in defence of the truth, warning of the devices of the devil to be expected in the latter times, and He speaks expressly, there is no indefiniteness about His utterances. When the Apostle wrote the Holy Spirit was still giving inspired messages... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Timothy 4:12-16

Timothy's spiritual growth: v. 12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. v. 13. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. v. 14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. v. 15. Meditate upon these things, give thyself wholly to them, that thy profiting may appear to all. v. ... read more

XStirring exhortation for Timothy to genuine steadfastness in his Christian calling, and to continuous growth in it1 Timothy 4:6-166If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ2 [Christ Jesus], nourished up in the words of [the] faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained [which thou hast followed]. 7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8For bodily exercise profiteth little:3... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:9-16

“Take Heed to Thyself” 1 Timothy 4:9-16 In all Christian service we must set our hope on the living God. Nothing counts apart from God. Prayer implies that all our gifts and efforts cover only a small part of our efficiency. There are infinite resources in God, which He is waiting to employ in human affairs, and of which we fail to make use. The Christian worker, therefore, must not only labor and strive, but must hope in the living God, whose saving grace is at the disposal of our faith.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

Having thus dealt with the Church, the apostle showed Timothy how he was to fulfil his responsibility. He had a duty toward the truth, and therefore toward the Church. In order to correct errors which would arise, Timothy was to give definite instruction. Abstinence from lawful things is a matter for personal decision and action, and must never be made a necessity of religious life or godliness. The apostle then described the secrets of strength for those who were called upon to defend the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

Paul Now Gives A More Detailed Account of What Timothy’s Ministry Will Involve (1 Timothy 4:1 to 1 Timothy 6:10 ). It is interesting how much the second half of this letter is patterned on the first. Both sections commence with an account of false teachers (1 Timothy 1:3-11; 1 Timothy 4:1-5). This is followed by a requirement for faithful service (Paul in 1 Timothy 1:12-15; Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:6-11) and for an example to be given to others (by Paul in 1 Timothy 1:16; by Timothy in 1... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:12-16

Timothy Is To Work Out This Salvation That God Has Given Him By Being An Example To Others And Utilising His God Given Gift Fully In Faithful Teaching (1 Timothy 4:12-16 ). Just as the salvation of a Christian woman is to come to full fruition in childbearing and rearing (1 Timothy 2:15), so Timothy’s salvation is to come to full fruition by continuing to live and teach in the power that God has given him, so that all may see how he advances spiritually, as a result of which he will make... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:13

‘Until I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.’ Meanwhile he has a task to do before Paul arrives. And that is to read, exhort and teach. In the light of the whole emphasis in these verses on addressing others we must probably see ‘reading’ as referring to reading aloud in the public meeting, from the Scriptures, and probably also from letters of Paul (compare Colossians 4:16) and written tradition about Jesus (the Testimony of Jesus - Revelation 1:2; Revelation 1:9). Such... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:6-16

1 Timothy 4:6-Nehemiah : . The Treatment Needed.— Timothy must meet the errors by ( a) personal example ( 1 Timothy 4:6-2 Samuel :) and ( b) diligent teaching ( 1 Timothy 4:11-Nehemiah :).In combating error he must continually draw his strength from the doctrinal statements hitherto followed by him. The silly myths that are current ( 1 Timothy 1:3-1 Kings : *) he must reject. The fully-developed asceticism of 1 Timothy 4:3 lies in the future, but in these fables its principles are already... read more

Till I come, and after that time too, but then I will further instruct thee. Give attendance to reading; be diligent in reading the Holy Scriptures, both for thine own instruction and for the edification of others. To exhortation; to exhort others to their duty there described, or to comfort others from arguments fetched thence. To doctrine; to instruct others in the principles of religion. read more
