Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-7

Our Guide amid the Denials of the Faith 1 Timothy 1:1-7 , 1 Timothy 1:18-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Will Christ find Faith on the earth? The question above has to do with the Second Coming of Christ, and the Second Coming of Christ has to do with the conditions which will conclude the age in which we are now living. The Apostle Peter plainly told us, in the Spirit, of the advent of mockers in the last times. These mockers are men who deny the Faith, and particularly, who say, "Where is the... read more

Saul's Conversion: A Pattern and a Prophecy 1 Timothy 1:15-16 ; with Acts 9:1-43 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We marvel, therefore, that what God wrought in Saul's conversion on the Damascus road is as vital a part of prophecy, as what He wrote by Paul in the Epistles. As we enter upon this message we ask your attention to a most striking Scripture. Let us weigh the words: "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:5

LOVE AND ITS SOURCES‘Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned.’ 1 Timothy 1:5 What is meant here by ‘the commandment’? In the Greek, the word for ‘commandment’ is the same as that translated ‘charge’ in the third verse, and the meaning is, ‘the end, the point, of the charge you must give is charity.’ Now ‘charity’ is only another word for ‘love.’ There is only one word in the Greek for both of our English words, and the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:11

IN TRUST FOR THE GOSPEL‘The gospel … which was committed to my trust.’ 1 Timothy 1:11 The gospel of the glory of the Blessed God, says St. Paul, was committed to my trust. Nothing moved the Apostle more deeply than this. Whenever he alludes to it, it seems to bring him to the very dust. It is in connection with this he speaks of himself as the least of the Apostles; and a few years later, with deepening humility, as less than the least of all saints; and later still, not long before he... read more

‘THE FAITHFUL SAYING’‘This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.’ 1 Timothy 1:15 Why should the words ‘Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners’ be a ‘faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation’? I. Because the saying is clearly made up of the words of the Lord Himself.—On two different occasions our Lord referred to the purposes of His coming into the world, and that in terms which completely... read more

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

Introductory Greeting (1 Timothy 1:1-2 ). ‘Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by order of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope,’ As he does regularly Paul here establishes his Apostleship. He asserts that it was a position given to him as a result of the commands of both ‘God our Saviour and Christ Jesus our hope’ setting him on a par with the twelve. It thus had the strongest possible backing. And he points out that he was appointed, as it were, directly ‘by order of (kat’ epitagen)’ the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:2

‘To Timothy, my true child in faith. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.’ He is writing to Timothy as his ‘true’ that is, his genuine ‘child in faith’. The final phrase may indicate that ‘by faith’, having assessed him carefully and discussed the matter with the Lord, he senses a genuine oneness with him, and has adopted him ‘by faith’ for the purpose of his carrying on with Paul’s own ministry as one of his successors. Or we may read in the article, and see it... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:3-5

‘As I exhorted you to stay awhile at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, so that you might charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a household management of God which is in faith; so do I now. But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned,’ ‘As I exhorted you to stay awhile at Ephesus.’ Timothy had been ministering in Ephesus, and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:3-17

Paul’s Initial Charge To Timothy (1 Timothy 1:3-17 ). Timothy is first reminded why he is in Ephesus and what his task is. a He has been called on to charge the church leaders to be faithful to the truth and not to heed false teachers, some of whose teachings are indicated as being connected with ‘fables and endless genealogies which raise questions’ (1 Timothy 1:3-5). b Paul then gives his verdict on those false teachers. They desire to be ‘Teachers Of The Law’ but in fact lack the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:6-7

A Description Of The False Teachers Who Desire To Be Teachers Of The Law (1 Timothy 1:6-7 ). ‘From which things some having swerved have turned aside to vain talking, desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor that of which they confidently affirm.’ Paul then stresses that these false teachers have strayed away from such things as love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned, and have rather replaced them with vain talking. As... read more
