디모데전서 4:2 KRV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 4:2

Speaking lies in hypocrisy - ἐν ὑποκρισει ψευδολόγων en hupokrisei pseudologōn. Or rather, “by, or through the hypocrisy of those speaking lies. So it is rendered by Whitby, Benson, Macknight, and others. Our translators have rendered it as if the word translated “speaking lies” - ψευδολόγων pseudologōn - referred to “demons,” or, “devils,” δαιμονίων daimoniōn - in the previous verse. But there are two objections to this. One is, that then, as Koppe observes, the words would have been... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 4:2

1 Timothy 4:2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy Greek, εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων , by the hypocrisy of them that speak lies. This is a more literal, and at the same time a more just translation of the words than that given in our Bible, which represents the demons as speaking lies in hypocrisy, which could not be the apostle’s meaning, as it would not accord with what follows. Having their conscience seared, &c. An expression which could not be intended of devils. The hypocrisy here... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:1-5

The true church; the false teachers (3:14-4:5)Timothy is urged to remind the believers that their behaviour should reflect the character of the church of God to which they belong. That church is not like a heathen temple occupied by some lifeless god, but is the dwelling place of the living God and the upholder of his truth (14-15). This living God (in the words of an early Christian song that Paul quotes) entered the world of human existence in the person of Jesus Christ, who died, rose from... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:2

through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron;Reference is again made to the passages outlined at the head of this chapter. The very worst mistake that any sincere student of the word of God can make is to assume that teachers of false doctrine are either telling the truth, or that they are unaware of the false doctrines they are teaching. The Scriptures leave no doubt at all on this.Branded in their conscience as with a hot iron ... This is a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-2

1 Timothy 4:1-2, Now the Spirit, &c.— This passage, perhaps, would be better translated, But the Spirit speaketh expressly. He had before been speaking of the mystery of godliness, ch. 1Ti 3:16 and now he proceeds to speak of the mystery of iniquity in opposition to it: But the Spirit, &c. I. The first thing to be considered is, the apostacy here predicted, "Some shall depart, or rather apostatize, from the faith." An apostacy from the faith, may be total or partial; either when we... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 4:2

2. Rather translate, "Through (literally, 'in'; the element in which the apostasy has place) the hypocrisy of lying speakers"; this expresses the means through which "some shall (be led to) depart from the faith," namely, the reigned sanctity of the seducers (compare "deceivers," :-). having their conscience seared—Greek, "having their own conscience," c., that is, not only "speaking lies" to others, but also having their own conscience seared. Professing to lead others to holiness, their own... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 4:1-3

In contrast to the true revelation of God (1 Timothy 3:16), false teaching would arise as time passed. Whether Paul referred to a special revelation he had received by the Holy Spirit or simply to previously revealed revelation ("the Spirit explicitly says") we cannot determine for sure. Nevertheless God had revealed through Christ that as time passed some who held the truth would repudiate it (Matthew 13:21; Matthew 24:10-11; Mark 4:17; Mark 13:22; Luke 8:13; cf. Acts 20:29; 2 Thessalonians... read more
