Which things for which , A.V.; talking for jangling , A.V. Having swerved ( ἀστοχήσαντες ); literally, having missed the mark , as in the margin. It is found in the New Testament only here and 1 Timothy 6:21 ; 2 Timothy 2:18 . In Ecclesiastes 7:19 (21, A.V.) and Ecclesiastes 8:9 (11, A.V.) it is used in a slightly different sense, "forego" and "miss." In Polybius and Plutarch repeatedly, "to miss the mark.... to fail," with the kindred ἄστοχος ἀστοχία... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:6

From which some having swerved - Margin, “not aiming at.” The word here used - ἀστοχέω astocheō - means properly, to miss the mark; to err; and then, to swerve from compare 1Ti 6:21; 2 Timothy 2:18. It does not mean that they had ever had that from which they are said to have swerved - for it does not follow that a man who misses a mark had ever hit it - but merely that they failed of the things referred to, and had turned to vain talk. The word “which” ὧν hōn, in the plural, refers not... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 1:5-7

1 Timothy 1:5-7. Now the end The scope, design, or substance; of the commandment Or charge, rather, as παραγγελια properly signifies, being a noun derived from the verb, translated, that thou mightest charge, 1 Timothy 1:3. The apostle had desired Timothy to continue at Ephesus, that he might charge some to teach no other doctrine than what had been taught: here he informs him what the scope of his charge to these teachers was to be, namely, that instead of inculcating fables,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-11

1:1-20 WARNING AGAINST FALSE TEACHERSFalse and true (1:1-11)The letter begins with a reminder to Timothy of the reason Paul urged him to stay at Ephesus. Timothy has to stop people wasting time and confusing others with senseless discussions that lead only to conflict and argument. Those responsible for this confusing teaching must learn to control their imagination. Instead of inventing fanciful stories based on Old Testament genealogies, they should concentrate on the kind of teaching that... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:6

from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking;Hendriksen's description of their teaching as evidenced by this verse is as follows:It is like useless reasoning, argumentation that gets nowhere, dry as dust disputation, wrangling about fanciful tales anent pedigrees! It has finally landed them in the no-man's-land of ceremonial subtleties, in the dreary marsh of ridiculous hairsplitting. And the owner of that quagmire is Satan, who heads the welcoming committee.[21] It... read more

6. From which—namely, from a pure heart, good conscience, and faith unfeigned, the well-spring of love. having swerved—literally, "having missed the mark (the 'end') to be aimed at." It is translated, "erred," 1 Timothy 6:21; 2 Timothy 2:18. Instead of aiming at and attaining the graces above named, they "have turned aside (1 Timothy 5:15; 2 Timothy 4:4; Hebrews 12:13) unto vain jangling"; literally, "vain talk," about the law and genealogies of angels (1 Timothy 1:7; Titus 3:9; Titus 1:10);... read more

A. The task Timothy faced 1:3-11Paul penned these opening words to remind Timothy to correct teachers in the Ephesian church who were majoring on minor matters in their Bible teaching. In so doing he reminded Timothy of his own responsibility as a communicator of God’s truth."That the false teachers were . . . probably elders [of the house-churches in Ephesus] is supported by several items from 1 Timothy: their presuming to be ’teachers of the law’ (1 Timothy 1:7), a responsibility of the... read more

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 . . .

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 1:6-7

The "Law" is the Mosaic Code but also the Scriptures of Paul’s day, the Old Testament, particularly the legal parts of it. Paul probably did not mean that these erring teachers failed to understand the letter of their content, though this may have been true of some of them. He probably meant that they did not understand what they were really saying and not saying by their emphasis. They missed the point of the Law.Their "main interest seems to have been to rival contemporary Rabbinical... read more
