Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1-4
1-4 Jesus Christ is a Christian's hope; all our hopes of eternal life are built upon him; and Christ is in us the hope of glory. The apostle seems to have been the means of Timothy's conversion; who served with him in his ministry, as a dutiful son with a loving father. That which raises questions, is not for edifying; that which gives occasion for doubtful disputes, pulls down the church rather than builds it up. Godliness of heart and life can only be kept up and increased, by the exercise of... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:5-11
5-11 Whatever tends to weaken love to God, or love to the brethren, tends to defeat the end of the commandment. The design of the gospel is answered, when sinners, through repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ, are brought to exercise Christian love. And as believers were righteous persons in God's appointed way, the law was not against them. But unless we are made righteous by faith in Christ, really repenting and forsaking sin, we are yet under the curse of the law, even according... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:12-17
12-17 The apostle knew that he would justly have perished, if the Lord had been extreme to mark what was amiss; and also if his grace and mercy had not been abundant to him when dead in sin, working faith and love to Christ in his heart. This is a faithful saying; these are true and faithful words, which may be depended on, That the Son of God came into the world, willingly and purposely to save sinners. No man, with Paul's example before him, can question the love and power of Christ to save... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-99
1Tim 1 IN HIS OPENING verse Paul presents his apostleship as proceeding from God our Saviour not from Jesus our Saviour, as we might have put it. He is going to bring before us the living GOD as both Saviour and Preserver ( 1Ti_2:3 ; 1Ti_4:10 ) and so he commences on this note, and presents the Lord Jesus to us as our hope. When declension sets in it is well for us to know a living God as our Preserver, and to have our hopes centred not in churches, bishops, deacons, nor in a man of any... read more

Introduction and Greeting. v. 1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God, our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our Hope, v. 2. unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord. This superscription characterizes both content and tone of the entire letter. While Paul does not emphasize his apostolic authority with the force which he uses in the letter to the Galatians or with the firm insistence of the... read more

The Judaizing Teachers. v. 3. As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, v. 4. neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith; so do. v. 5. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned, v. 6. from which some, having swerved, have turned aside unto... read more

But we know that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully; v. 9. knowing this, that the Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane. for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for man-slayers, v. 10. for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is... read more

And I thank Christ Jesus, our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, v. 13. who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief. v. 14. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. v. 15. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:13
Because I did it ignorantly in unbelief, or in incredulity. Not that we can think it an invincible and altogether an inculpable ignorance, such as would have made St. Paul blameless in the sight of God. It was through his pure mercy that he called St. Paul, when his great sins and false zeal made him a greater object of the divine mercy: and God in him was pleased to make known to all men his wonderful patience, that no sinner might despair. The grace of God was superabounding, or exceedingly... read more
