1 Timóteo 2:1-2 NVIPT

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1

Verse 1 1I exhort therefore. These exercises of godliness maintain and even strengthen us in the sincere worship and fear of God, and cherish the good conscience of which he had spoken. Not inappropriately does he make use of the word therefore, to denote an inference; for those exhortations depend on the preceding commandment. That, above all, prayers be made. First, he speaks of public prayers, which he enjoins to be offered, not only for believers, but for all mankind. Some might reason... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:2

Verse 2 2For kings He expressly mentions kings and other magistrates because, more than all others, they might be hated by Christians. All the magistrates who existed at that time were so many sworn enemies of Christ; and therefore this thought might occur to them, that they ought not to pray for those who devoted all their power and all their wealth to fight against the kingdom of Christ, the extension of which is above all things desirable. The apostle meets this difficulty, and expressly... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1

First of all , that for that , first of all , A.V.; thanksgivings for and giving of thanks . A.V. I exhort therefore. The insertion of the connecting particle "therefore" marks that this arrangement of Church prayers is a part—as the following words, first of all, mark that it is the first part—of that charge or administration which was now committed to Timothy. Supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings (see the Prayer for the Church Militant). The question... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1

The apostle gives Timothy a series of injunctions respecting the assemblies for public worship, which sprang naturally out of the solemn charge he had given him in the previous chapter. I. THE PARAMOUNT DUTY OF PUBLIC PRAYER . "I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, supplications, thanksgivings, be made for all men." 1. The leading place given to prayer in this series of instructions respecting the administration of the Church , proves its pre-eminent... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

The whole chapter is given up to directions concerning the public worship of the Church. We may notice the following particulars. I. THE SUBJECTS OF PUBLIC PRAYER . When the Church meets together in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, it meets as pre-eminently the friend of the human race. As the Church of him who is the world's Savior and Redeemer, it must manifest the same spirit of universal love which animated him. It is not as being haters of the human race (as their enemies... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:2

And all for and for all , A.V.; high place for authority , A.V.; tranquil and quiet for quiet and peaceable , A.V.; gravity for honesty , A.V. For kings , etc. The early Liturgies closely followed these directions. "Every day, both in the evening and the morning, we offer prayers for the whole world, for kings, and for all in authority" (Chrysost., in loc .). So in the Liturgy of St. Mark: "Preserve our king in peace, in virtue, and righteousness.... Subdue his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:2

Nothing in the gospel was revolutionary. Its aim was not to upset thrones, but to purify all the centers of power; not to make assault at once on polygamy and slavery, but to undermine them by the Christian spirit and sacrifice. Prayer is here made for kings and all in authority. Rulership there must be. Anarchy is misery. Fields must be ploughed; grain must be stored; homes must be protected; or else weakness becomes the prey of strength. The purpose, then, of God, in ordination of law and... read more

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

I exhort, therefore - Margin, “desire.” The word exhort, however, better expresses the sense of the original. The exhortation here is not addressed particularly to Timothy, but relates to all who were called to lead in public prayer; 1 Timothy 2:8. This exhortation, it may be observed, is inconsistent with the supposition that a liturgy was then in use, or with the supposition that there ever would be a liturgy - since, in that case, the objects to be prayed for would be prescribed. How... read more

Albert Barnes

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

For kings - On the respect due to rulers, see the notes on Romans 13:1-7. The meaning here is, that while all people should be the subjects of prayer, those should be particularly remembered before the throne of grace who are in authority. The reason is, that so much depends on their character and plans; that the security of life, liberty, and property, depends so much on them. God has power to influence their hearts, and to incline them to what is just and equal; and hence we should pray that... read more

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

1 Timothy 2:1. I exhort therefore Seeing God is so gracious, and thou art intrusted with the office of the ministry, I give thee this in charge among other things. He proceeds to give directions, 1st, With regard to public prayers; and, 2d, With regard to doctrine. That supplications To prevent evil; prayers To procure good; intercessions On behalf of others; and giving of thanks For mercies received; be made for all men Chiefly in public. “Supplications, δεησεις ,” says Whitby,... read more
