1 Timothy 1:11According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God.The glorious gospelThe gospel is here characterized as glorious. It depends not for its glory on any incidental circumstances. In its essential elements it is the same for all lands and nations, conveying “glad tidings of great joy to all people.” The language of the text, with all other gloriousness, implies the glory of perpetuity. Indeed, what is here called “the glorious gospel” is elsewhere called “the everlasting gospel”... read more

1 Timothy 1:12Putting me into the ministry.The summons to serviceI. It was a sign of divine Grace. In God’s abounding grace he found himself not only forgiven, but summoned to service; “made a chosen vessel” to bear God’s treasure unto the Gentiles. He never ceased to be filled with wonder, that the Lord had “counted him faithful,” or esteemed him to be worthy of trust; and his highest ambition was to respond to this gracious confidence. For that is one of the best results of being trusted--it... read more

1 Timothy 1:13Who was before a blasphemer.I was beforeNote here, before we come to the special purpose we have in view, that godly men never think or speak lightly of their sins. When they know that they are forgiven, they repent of their iniquities even more heartily than before. You have probably read biographies of John Bunyan, in which the biographer says that Bunyan laboured under a morbid conscientiousness, and accused himself of a degree of sin of which he was not guilty. Exactly so, in... read more

1 Timothy 1:14And the grace of our Lord.The Saviour’s grace in its freeness and effectsI. Consider the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It was this that led Him to remember you in your low estate; to interpose on your behalf; to assume your nature, and to give His life a ransom for many. “Surely He hath borne our grief and carried our sorrow.” “Behold, how He loved him!” said the spectators around the grave of Lazarus, when they saw only His tears. Behold, how He loved them! was surely the... read more

1 Timothy 1:15This is a faithful saying.The gospel in a sentenceI. The mission of the Son of God is here set forth--He “came into the world.” This expression would be an extravagance if it referred only to ordinary human parentage. The pre-existence of our Lord in a higher state was unquestionably an accepted axiom among the early Christians, a commonplace of primitive Christian belief; and we, believing in His deity, offer Him our lowly adoration as well as our thanks and love.II. The purpose... read more

1 Timothy 1:16Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy.Praise for salvationThe narration of personal experience may be very helpful to those who are wanting instruction or sympathy. Men are better able to grasp truth in the concrete than in the abstract. To see a sinner saved from sin is more helpful than to read of salvation. No one recognized this more clearly, or acted on it more wisely, than Paul; and some of the most instructive parts of his Epistles are those in which he recounts his own... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; Ver. 1. By the commandment of God ] For how should he have preached except he had been sent? This he mentioneth, Romans 10:15 , as a thing impossible. Of God our Saviour ] So the Father also is here called. Hoc autem quantum est? (saith Cicero), Is nimirum Soter est, qui salutem dedit. The Greek word here used is so emphatic, that other tongues can hardly express it. Our... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:2

2 Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. Ver. 2. Mine own son ] This the apostle speaketh απο πολλης φιλοστοργιας , "out of deep affection," as Chrysostom observeth. Grace, mercy, and peace ] Not only grace and peace, as to others. When we pray for ministers, we must be more than ordinarily earnest for them with God. These three are joined together only in the Epistles of Timothy and Titus; as Theophylact out of... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:3

3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, Ver. 3. That they teach no other doctrine ] Either for matter or manner, for substance or circumstance. What hideous heresies are today broached and preached among us in city and country. See Mr Edwards’ Gangrena, the first and second part. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:4

4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do . Ver. 4. Endless genealogies ] It is but laborious loss of time to search into those things, whereof we can neither have proof nor profit; the gains will not pay for the pains, the task is not worthy the toil. Toilsome toys they are, hard to come by, but of no use or worth; like an olive or date stone, hard to crack the one, or cleave the other; but nothing,... read more
