提摩太前書 1:17 CUNPTS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 1:17

1 Timothy 1:17. Now unto the King, &c. A consideration of the great mercy which God had shown him, in not only pardoning him when he was involved in such great guilt, but in making him an example for the comfort of future penitents, causes him to break forth in a rapture of praise and thanksgiving; eternal Whose existence had no beginning, and shall have no end; immortal Or incorruptible, as αφθαρτω also signifies; it is however rightly translated immortal, because what is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:12-20

Reminders from past experiences (1:12-20)As soon as Paul mentions the gospel, he is reminded of the power and grace of God that he has experienced in his own life. God changed Paul, and turned the greatest of sinners into his special representative to take the gospel to the Gentiles. If God can do that, there must be no limit to his mercy, grace and love (12-15). No person is beyond hope. Christ’s patience in dealing with the persecutor Paul should be an assurance to others that he will be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:17

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.This grand doxology is not addressed to "the Father," but to God in his compound unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It has been called "a grand testimony to the monotheism of St. Paul ... to this Eternal, Incorruptible One be glory and honor unto the ages of the ages."[37]For ever and ever ... This is "the ages of the ages" in the Greek; but all superstitions to the effect that Gnosticism... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:17

1 Timothy 1:17. Unto the king eternal, &c.— It has been thought that in giving such titles to the true God here, St. Paul, among various other reasons, might possibly glance at the absurdity of idolatrous Ephesus, in worshipping such a visible corruptible image as that of Diana. The apostle therefore plainly intimated, that God is God alone, and there is none besides him. read more

17. A suitable conclusion to the beautifully simple enunciation of the Gospel, of which his own history is a living sample or pattern. It is from the experimental sense of grace that the doxology flows [BENGEL]. the King, eternal—literally, "King of the (eternal) ages." The Septuagint translates Exodus 15:18, "The Lord shall reign for ages and beyond them." Exodus 15:18- :, Margin, "Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom," literally, "a kingdom of all ages."

II. TIMOTHY’S MISSION IN EPHESUS 1:3-20In chapter 1 Paul charged Timothy to remain faithful to the task with which Paul had entrusted him in Ephesus. He began by reminding Timothy what that task was and how he should carry out his chief duty. Then he exhorted Timothy to be faithful. He reminded his young protégé of God’s power to transform lives and warned him of the danger of acting contrary to his own spiritually sensitive conscience."The absence of . . .

1. A positive encouragement 1:12-17Paul thanked God for changing him to enable Timothy to appreciate the fact that God can transform even the worst of sinners and enable His saints to accomplish supernatural feats. What called forth Paul’s testimony here was the difficult situation Timothy faced in Ephesus made even harder by Timothy’s personal tendency toward timidity. The evidence that Timothy tended to be timid, perhaps partly because of the strong opposition he faced, comes out more clearly... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 1:17

Such grace prompted Paul to glorify God in this brief doxology. God is the King of the ages (sovereign), immortal (eternal), invisible (spiritual), and the only God (unique). To Him belong all honor and glory eternally. "Amen" means, "So be it." The Christians often uttered this word out loud in their meetings, as did the Jews in their synagogues.The reason Paul referred to his conversion in this section (1 Timothy 1:12-17) was to encourage Timothy to be faithful in the ministry with which God... read more
