Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

IV. CONCERNING THE LATTER-DAY APOSTASY CHAPTER 4 1. What the Spirit has predicted (1 Timothy 4:1-5 ) 2. The remedies against apostasy (1 Timothy 4:6-16 ) 1 Timothy 4:1-5 The mystery of godliness having been mentioned, the apostle speaks of Satan’s power in opposition to the faith and truth of God (the mystery of godliness here, and the mystery of iniquity in 2 Thessalonians). “But the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

The solemn warning here is in startling contrast to the preciousness of what we have considered as to God manifest in flesh. How cold is the heart of man that he will turn deliberately from a faith so vital and valuable! Not that this verse 1 speaks of a general apostasy, as will be true in the last days, for the apostle speaks only of "some" apostatizing. Yet it is a determined effort of Satan to corrupt the truth of the sacred Word of God and to obscure the glory of the manifestation of God... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

CONCERNING FALSE TEACHERS In 1 Timothy 4:1-6 these false teachers are foretold and described. At what period are they to appear? Notice that this agrees with Paul’s teachings to the Thessalonians about the apostasy. It also has a bearing upon the current question as to whether the world is growing better or worse. That question is too vast for mortal to answer, and we can only fall back upon what God says about it. In this and in other places, He has told us what to expect as the end of the... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:10-16

(10) For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. (11) These things command and teach. (12) Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (13) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. (14) Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:6-10

6-10 Outward acts of self-denial profit little. What will it avail us to mortify the body, if we do not mortify sin? No diligence in mere outward things could be of much use. The gain of godliness lies much in the promise; and the promises to godly people relate partly to the life that now is, but especially to the life which is to come: though we lose for Christ, we shall not lose by him. If Christ be thus the Saviour of all men, then much more will he be the Rewarder of those who seek and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:1-99

1Tim 4 VERSE 1Ti_4:1 of chapter 4 must be read in connection with the last two verses of chapter 3 God dwells in the church as His house by the Holy Spirit and the church is the pillar on which the truth is inscribed. Now the indwelling Spirit speaks in defence of the truth, warning of the devices of the devil to be expected in the latter times, and He speaks expressly, there is no indefiniteness about His utterances. When the Apostle wrote the Holy Spirit was still giving inspired messages... read more

The Personal Conduct of Timothy. Timothy as a good teacher: v. 6. if thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. v. 7. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. v. 8 For bodily exercise profiteth little; but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:9-16

“Take Heed to Thyself” 1 Timothy 4:9-16 In all Christian service we must set our hope on the living God. Nothing counts apart from God. Prayer implies that all our gifts and efforts cover only a small part of our efficiency. There are infinite resources in God, which He is waiting to employ in human affairs, and of which we fail to make use. The Christian worker, therefore, must not only labor and strive, but must hope in the living God, whose saving grace is at the disposal of our faith.... read more
