Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:8-11

The True Purpose Of The Law And Who It Is For (1 Timothy 1:8-11 ). But we know that the law (nomos) is good, if a man use it lawfully (nomeows), as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers (or ‘smiters/cudgellers’) of fathers and murderers (or ‘smiters/cudgellers’) of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for... read more

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

He Gives Thanks for God’s Grace and Mercy Shown Towards Himself, Pointing Out That God Has Appointed Him To His Service and How As A Gross Sinner He Had Been Graciously Taken Up By His Grace In Spite Of What He Had Been And Fully Enabled For The Task (1 Timothy 1:12-14 ). ‘I thank him who enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord, because he counted me faithful (trustworthy), appointing me to his service, though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and violently arrogant.’ At the thought... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:13-14

‘However that may be I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.’ But he points out that however badly he had behaved, he had obtained mercy. That was the wonder of it to him. The God and the Lord to Whom he had refused to listen had shown him mercy. But nevertheless notice his caveat. It was because he had done it ignorantly in unbelief. He was insisting that he had not committed open,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:15

‘The saying is faithful, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.’ ‘The saying (or word) is faithful (pistos ho logos).’ That is, it comes from a faithful God through faithful men and is worthy of all trust. This solemn phrase, standing in its baldness, is a typical Pauline construction. ‘The word is faithful’ compares with the equally bald ‘God is faithful’ in 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 10:13, and note ‘God is faithful’ and... read more

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

‘However that may be it was for this reason that I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an example of those who would thereafter believe on him to eternal life.’ And it was because he was the very chief of sinners, that he had obtained mercy, so that in him, as the chief, Jesus Christ might show forth all His longsuffering, compassion and mercy by redeeming him. And He had done it in order that all others who believed might see in Paul an... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1-2

I. Introductory·( a) 1 Timothy 1:1 f. Salutation.— Paul greets Timothy, his true son in the faith. The character of his communication leads him to write, even to a personal friend, in his official capacity as an apostle by Divine commandment. 1 Timothy 1:1 . God our Saviour.— This title is not applied to God by Paul outside the Pastorals. It is, however, familiar in OT, and appears also in Luke 1:47 and Jude 1:25.— Christ Jesus our hope: cf. Colossians 1:27. This union of Christ Jesus with... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:3-11

( b) 1 Timothy 1:3-Proverbs : . Reminder of Paul’ s Verbal Charge. 1 Timothy 1:3-1 Kings : . The False Teaching, and a Digression on the Law.— Some years before, Paul had foretold that error would assail the Church in Asia ( Acts 20:29 f.). His fear had now been realised. On his recent visit to Macedonia (Intro. § 5 ) he had already given Timothy instruction concerning it, and this he here renews. The authority of the errorists to teach is not disputed. Perhaps all Christian men could engage... read more

1 Timothy 1:12-Esther : . Further Digression on God’ s Mercy.— The connexion is not obvious. P. Ewald has suggested that 1 Timothy 1:12-Esther : has been displaced and should properly follow 1 Timothy 1:12. It is, however, in keeping with Paul’ s style that the mention of the Gospel entrusted to him should lead to such an outburst of thanksgiving. He, the persecutor, forgiven because ignorant ( cf. Luke 23:34, and the close parallel in Testament of Judah 19:3 ), was counted trustworthy for... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1

Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ; one immediately sent by Jesus Christ, by his voice from heaven, Acts 9:15, though not by his voice upon earth, as those, Matthew 10:1-42. By the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ: through the will of God, 1 Corinthians 1:1, not his permissive, but preceptive will; and this is the same with his being called to be an apostle, Romans 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:1. By our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father not being excluded, but the Son only being named,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:2

He dignifies Timothy with the title of his son in the faith; that is, being converted by him to Christianity, and begat to the Divine life: and by styling Timothy his own son, he signifies his piety and virtue, that rendered him a worthy son of such a father, whom he imitated and honoured, and with whom he corresponded in a grateful, obedient affection. Having thus designated the person to whom he writes, he expresses his ardent desires of his complete felicity; which is included in grace,... read more
