디모데전서 6:12-13 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 6:6-21

The contrast . There is no more effectual way of bringing out the peculiar beauties and excellences of any system or character than by contrasting with it the opposite system or character. Let us do this in regard to the two characters which are here brought before us, and the uses of money by them respectively. I. THE MONEY - LOVER . The love of money sits at the helm of his inner man. It is the spring of all his thoughts, desires, and actions. Observe what is his ruling... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 6:12

The faith for faith, A.V.; the life eternal for eternal life, A.V.; wast for art also, A.V. and T.R.; didst confess the good confession for hast professed a good profession, A.V.; in the sight of for before, A.V. Fight the good fight . This is not quite a happy rendering. ἀγών is the "contest" at the Olympic assembly for any of the prizes, in wrestling, chariot-racing, foot-racing, music, or what not. ἀγωνίζεσθαι τὸν ἀγῶνα is to "carry on such a contest". The comparison is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 6:13

I charge thee for I give thee charge , A.V.; of for before (in italics), A.V.; the for a , A.V. I charge thee . It has been well observed that the apostle's language increases in solemnity as he approaches the end of the Epistle. This word παραγγέλλω is of frequent use in St. Paul's Epistles ( 1 Corinthians 7:10 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:11 : 2 Thessalonians 3:4 , 2 Thessalonians 3:6 , 2 Thessalonians 3:10 , 2 Thessalonians 3:12 ; and above, 1 Timothy 3:1-16 ; 1... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 6:12

Fight the good fight of faith - The noble conflict in the cause of religion; see the notes on Ephesians 6:10-17; compare notes on 1 Corinthians 9:26-27. The allusion is to the contests at the Grecian games.Lay hold on eternal life - As the crown of victory that is held out to you. Seize this as eagerly as the competitors at the Grecian games laid hold on the prize; see the notes on 1 Corinthians 9:25.Whereunto thou art also called - That is, by the Spirit of God, and by the very nature of your... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 6:13

I give thee charge in the sight God - see the notes on 1 Timothy 5:21.Who quickeneth all things - Who gives life to all; notes on Ephesians 2:1. It is not quite clear why the apostle refers to this attribute of God as enforcing the charge which he here makes. Perhaps he means to say that God is the source of life, and that as he had given life to Timothy - natural and spiritual - he had a right to require that it should be employed in his service; and that, if, in obedience to this charge and... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 6:11-12

1 Timothy 6:11-12. But thou, O man of God Whatever all the world else do; (a man of God is either a prophet, a messenger of God, or a man devoted to God, a man of another world;) flee As from a serpent, instead of coveting these things, and follow after righteousness Truth, justice, mercy, with all their proper fruits; godliness Sincere and fervent piety, implying devotedness to God, in heart and life, and a conformity to his image; faith In all its branches, especially as having... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 6:13-16

1 Timothy 6:13-16. I give thee charge, &c. See note on 1 Timothy 5:21; in the sight In the presence; of God Whose eye is upon us both; and who quickeneth all things Who is the source of life, natural, spiritual, and eternal, and therefore is able to raise those from the dead that suffer for him: a suitable, though oblique intimation, that should Timothy, after the example of his great Lord, sacrifice his life to the honour of his profession, God, who raised Christ from the dead,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 6:3-16

Trouble-makers and God’s servant (6:3-16)The teaching of the false teachers differs from that of Christ, and their conduct likewise differs. Their kind of teaching arises out of pride and creates argument, which in turn leads to suspicious thoughts and insulting talk about others. Paul knows that their real reason for setting themselves up as Christian teachers is to become rich (3-5).Christianity does make a person rich, but not in the way the false teachers think. Christians are rich when... read more
