Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 1:9

1:9 {8} Knowing this, that the law is not made for a {e} righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for {f} sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,(8) He indeed escapes the curse of the Law, and therefore does not abhor it, who fleeing and avoiding those things which the Law condemns, gives himself with all his heart to observe it: and he does not make a vain babbling of outward and curious matters.(e) And... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 1:11

1:11 {9} According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, {10} which was committed to my trust.(9) He contrasts fond and vain babbling with, not only the Law, but the Gospel also, which does not condemn, but greatly commends the wholesome doctrine contained in the commandments of God. And therefore he calls it a glorious Gospel, and the Gospel of the blessed God, the power of which these babblers did not know.(10) A reason why neither any other Gospel is to be taught than he has taught in... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 1:12

1:12 {11} And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath {g} enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;(11) He maintains of necessity his apostleship against some that did find fault with his former life, debasing himself even to hell, to advance only Christ’s only, with which he abolished all those his former doings.(g) Who gave me strength, not only when I had no will to do well, but also when I was wholly given to evil. read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 1:13

1:13 Who was before a {h} blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did [it] ignorantly in unbelief.(h) These are the meritorious works which Paul brags of. read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 1:14

1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant {12} with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.(12) He proves this change by the effects, because he who was a profane man, has become a believer: and he that did most outrageously persecute Christ, burns now in love towards him. read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 1:15

1:15 {13} This [is] a {i} faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.(13) He turns the reproach of the adversaries upon their own head, showing that this singular example of the goodness of God, contributes greatly to the benefit of the whole Church.(i) Worthy to be believed. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

The apostleship of Paul is shown here to be no light matter. His was a call totally independent of the other apostles, but "according to the command of God." We have, therefore, no liberty to regard his epistles as merely his personal convictions, but must recognize them as being that which God required him to write, having in them the supreme authority of God. Yet God is here called "our Savior." Titus also uses this expression, both in regard to God and in regard to the Lord Jesus Christ.... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

CHIEFLY PERSONAL THE SALUTATION (1 Timothy 1:1-2 ) In this notice the beautiful designation of our Lord Jesus Christ as “Our Hope.” He Himself is our Hope. And when we remember that these words were written by Paul in his later years, they are all the more affecting. And notice the designation given Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:2 . What bearing has this upon the proposition that he probably owed his conversion to Paul’s labors? REFERENCE TO TIMOTHY’S MISSION AT EPHESUS (1 Timothy 1:3-4 ) We... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

Edification 1Ti 1:4 It appears that at Ephesus there were some who taught another doctrine than Paul had expounded in the name of Christ. Paul, on that account, besought Timothy to abide at Ephesus, to do his utmost to check the progress of error, to "charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith." The Apostle teaches that there is no edification, or building up, in... read more
