Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:14

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant; the free love of God towards me, in justifying such a guilty creature, and sanctifying such an unholy creature, and afterwards calling me to the office of an apostle, fitting me for it, and trusting me with that great work and employment, abounded beyond all measure and possibility of expression. With faith and love which is in Christ Jesus: Christ working faith in me, enabling me to receive him as the Son of God, and my Lord and Saviour; and to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:15

This is a faithful saying; the following saying, which is the great proposition of the gospel, is a saying that is in itself true, and wherein God hath declared his truth. And worthy of all acceptation; and worthy to be with all thankfulness received, believed, and accepted. That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; that Jesus Christ, being sent of the Father, in the fulness of time, was incarnate, lived, and died in the world; not only to set sinners an example of a better life,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:16

’ Alla, the word we translate howbeit, is as well to be translated but, and ordinarily is so. For this cause, that is, for this end, God showed me mercy. That in me first; that in me, the first, (so it is in the Greek, for it is an adjective), that is, as he said before, the chiefest or greatest sinner: Christ might show forth all long-suffering, bearing with me while I was in my rage against his gospel and saints, and then changing my heart to embrace him and to love him. Or, that in me first,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-2

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 1:1. By the commandment.—The usual expression has been “by the will of God.” There is a perceptible ring of austerity about the word for “commandment.” Paul is an apostle in accordance with the behest of God. God our Saviour.—A designation not often found outside the Pastoral epistles in the New Testament, but frequent in the Old Testament. Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope.—R.V. “Christ Jesus our hope.” Not only the object of it, nor the author of it,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:3-4

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 1:3. Charge some that they teach no other doctrine.—R.V. “charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine.” It is doctrine that differs in quality that was not to be taught. In his impassioned address to the Galatians St. Paul would anathematise “even an angel from heaven” who should dare to proclaim another gospel, “ ‘different,’ from its commixture with an unedifying, vain, and morbid theosophy.”1 Timothy 1:4. Fables and endless... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:5-7

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 1:5. The end of the commandment.—The end is not the same thing as the fulfilment of the law. It is the goal towards which, with strenuous endeavour, each Christian must press on. “Commandment” (R.V. “charge”) is the monitory teaching—a touch of severity clings to the word from the old “economy.” Unfeigned.—So of “love” (Romans 12:9); of “wisdom from above” (James 3:17) (without hypocrisy).1 Timothy 1:6. Some having swerved.—Margin, “not aiming at.” R.V.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:8-11

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 1:8. We know that the law is good.—The “grace and truth” which “came by Jesus Christ” did not abrogate the law. That law had a moral excellence, was indeed an admirable thing, provided that it was used legitimately.1 Timothy 1:9. The law is not made for.—As we say “is not laid down.” The vices which follow are enumerated first under terms more general, and then more specific. Lawless and disobedient.—R.V. “lawless and unruly.” Both imply opposition to... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:12-17

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 1:12. He counted me faithful.—For the very reason that he had been “a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious,” the Jerusalem Christians looked askance at him when he was introduced as a brother; Ananias at Damascus thought his penitence a ruse, and Paul himself does not complain of the mistrust (Acts 22:19); but the grace of God that treats him as trustworthy fills him with thankfulness.1 Timothy 1:13. A blasphemer.—In the general acceptation of the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:5

1 Timothy 1:5 I. Taking the declaration of the text in its simplicity, and looking out over the Christian world, we are disposed, simply enough, perhaps, on our part, to say what a pity it is that people do not oftener ask themselves amidst all their conscientious observance of Christianity, and all their lifelong toil to do their duty by it, whereunto it all tends; what is the one general effect which He who ordained Christianity as a great commandment for us intended it to produce? Our text... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:9

1 Timothy 1:9 The Law our Schoolmaster. There are some points in which we feel practically that we are not under the law, but dead to it; that the law is not made for us; but do we think, therefore, that we may surrender, rob and burn, or do we not feel that such a notion would be little short of madness? We are not under the law, because we do not need it. And just of this kind is that general freedom from the law of which St. Paul speaks, as the high privilege of true Christians. I. There is... read more
