Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:3

Ephesus was a great city in Asia the Less, whither Paul came, Acts 19:1; where Demetrius raised a tumult against him, which the town clerk appeased, as we read there. From thence he went into Macedonia, Acts 20:1-3. Upon this his motion into Macedonia (as divines judge) he left Timothy at Ephesus. The end of leaving him at Ephesus was, that he might charge some that they preached no other doctrine, that is, none contrary to what he had preached, none contrary to the doctrine of the gospel,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:4

Neither give heed to fables: by fables he probably meaneth the Jewish fables, and commandments of men, mentioned Titus 1:14; or more generally, all vain and idol speculations. And endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying; whatsoever tendeth not to build men up in godliness, which is the end of preaching. The Jews had many unwritten fables, about what God did before he made the world, &c., and many unwritten endless genealogies, which were as so many... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:5-6

Now the end of the commandment is charity: the word translated commandment here is παραγγελια, which rather signifies a particular charge given by superiors as to some thing, than a general law, Acts 5:28; Acts 16:24; and so in this chapter, 1 Timothy 1:18; which inclineth me to think, that though the proposition be true of the whole law of God, (for love is the fulfilling of the law), and more eminently of the Divine doctrine in the gospel, for the end and perfection it aims at and produces is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:7

Desiring to be teachers of the law; Nomodidaskaloi. This term lets us know, that the apostle reflecteth upon some who were or had been Jews, who either pressed the observance of the law in order to justification, or spent their time in pressing the traditions of the elders, and constitutions of the scribes, as sepimenta legis, hedges (as they called them) to the Divine law, though not of the letter of it; upon which there arose a great many questions as insignificant as their traditions... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:8

But we know that the law is good: not that I speak against the law of God, I know that it is holy, and spiritual, and just, and good, Romans 7:12,Romans 7:14. It is good, though not for justification, yet for conviction, to convince men of sin, and as a schoolmaster to lead men unto Christ, and to direct us in our walking with God; the equity and sanctity of its precepts are evident to the sincere and purified mind. If a man use it lawfully: and as the law has an intrinsic goodness in its... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:9

By the law is to be understood the moral law, (though possibly not excluding the law of Moses, consisting in many ordinances), as it is armed with stings and terrors, to restrain rebellious sinners; by the righteous man, one in whom a principle of Divine grace is planted, and, from the knowledge and love of God, chooses the things that are pleasing to him, and is ardent and active to do his will. Now it is true, the holiness commanded in the law, that, consists in the love of God and our... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:10

The two next terms express violaters of the seventh commandment, whether by fornication, adultery, incest, sodomy, or any beastly lusts. Men-stealers; the word signifieth such as carry men into captivity, or make slaves of them in the first place; it signifies also any stealing of men. It is probable the first of these is the man-stealing principally intended, being the most common sin by pirates at sea, and soldiers at land; yet not excluding any other stealing of men from their relations,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:11

Here the apostle specifies the sound doctrine of which he spake; that it is contained in the gospel, the perfect rule of righteousness, which he styles the glorious gospel of the blessed God, it being a doctrine revealed from heaven, wherein the concurrence and command of the Divine attributes, wisdom, power, mercy, and justice, do most clearly shine to the glory of God, 2 Corinthians 4:6; Ephesians 1:6,Ephesians 1:12; and he gives the title of blessed to God, thereby to signify his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:12

Here St. Paul expresses his most humble and solemn thanks to Christ for his rich favour in calling him to the high office of all apostle, for by the ministry that is to be understood; and it is so called by way of excellence, it being the most glorious and Divine ministry that ever was established in the church: and he ascribes to our Saviour the praise of all that he performed in the faithful discharge of it. He saith: Christ enabled me, that is, endowed him with fidelity, zeal, courage, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:13

The kindness of God in putting me into so noble a service was the greater and more thankworthy, because before that time I was a blasphemer, one who spake of Christ reproachfully, for that blasphemy signifieth. Paul was a zealous man in the Jewish religion, his blasphemy therefore only respected the Second Person in the Trinity, which the Jews owned not. Paul compelled others to blaspheme, Acts 26:11. And a persecutor: of his persecution, see Acts 8:3; he entered houses, haled men and women to... read more
