1 Timothy 1:1-11 BSB

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:4

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.Neither give heed — So as either to teach or regard them.To fables — Fabulous Jewish traditions.And endless genealogies — Nor those delivered in scripture, but the long intricate pedigrees whereby they strove to prove their descent from such or such a person.Which afford questions — Which lead only to useless and endless controversies. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:5

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:Whereas the end of the commandment — of the whole Christian institution.Is love — And this was particularly the end of the commandment which Timotheus was to enforce at Ephesus, 1 Timothy 1:3,18. The foundation is faith; the end, love. But this can only subsist in an heart purified by faith, and is always attended with a good conscience. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:6

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;From which — Love and a good conscience.Some are turned aside — An affectation of high and extensive knowledge sets a man at the greatest distance from faith, and all sense of divine things.To vain jangling — And of all vanities, none are more vain than dry, empty disputes on the things of God. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:8

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;We grant the whole Mosaic law is good, answers excellent purposes, if a man use it in a proper manner. Even the ceremonial is good, as it points to Christ; and the moral law is holy, just, and good, on its own nature; and of admirable use both to convince unbelievers, and to guide believers in all holiness. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:9

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 manslayers,The law doth not lie against a righteous man — Doth not strike or condemn him.But against the lawless and disobedient — They who despise the authority of the lawgiver violate the first commandment, which is the foundation of the law, and the ground of all obedience.Against the... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:10

For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;Manstealers — The worst of all thieves, in comparison of whom, highwaymen and housebreakers are innocent. What then are most traders in negroes, procurers of servants for America, and all who list soldiers by lies, tricks, or enticements? read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Timothy 1:11

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.According to the glorious gospel — Which, far from "making void," does effectually "establish, the law." read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1

Apostolic Salutation, 1 Timothy 1:1-2 . 1. Paul The full array of his apostolic title, though writing to an individual, indicates that this is an official charge, not a mere friendly letter. Compare the Introduction to Philemon. Commandment of God Not as the other apostles, by the regular choice of Jesus, but by a special call from heaven on his way to Damascus, and a special commandment from the Spirit at Antioch. Acts 13:1. This commandment is more explicit than the will of God, of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:2

2. Own son Literally, genuine son. Who has by his life of filial faithfulness attested the genuineness of his regeneration under Paul’s ministry. Though investing himself with his own full title, Paul gives no title to Timothy; such as, to the Lord Bishop of Ephesus. For Timothy’s present position in Ephesus there does not seem to have been any title. He was shortly afterwards requested to leave Ephesus and visit the apostle at Rome. Yet, 1. It is clear that he was placed over the... read more
