Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 4:12-13

1 Timothy 4:12-13. Let no man despise thy youth That is, let no one have reason to despise it, but conduct thyself with such gravity, wisdom, and steadiness, as, instead of exposing thee to contempt, will rather gain thee respect and reverence. In particular, be thou an example of the believers A pattern worthy of their imitation; in word In prudent and edifying discourse, whether public or private; in conversation Greek, αναστροφη , in behaviour; in charity Or love, rather, namely... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 4:14

1 Timothy 4:14. Neglect not Through omitting to exercise it to the full; the gift that is in thee The word χαρισμα , here used, commonly denotes some spiritual gift conferred on believers in the first age, whether by an immediate effusion of the Holy Spirit, or by means of the imposition of the apostle’s hands. See Romans 1:10. By this it appears, that even the miraculous gifts might be improved; and that the continuance of them with individuals depended in a great measure upon the right... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:6-16

Dealing with the false teachers (4:6-16)Paul makes it clear to Timothy that good teachers do not waste time arguing about silly stories, but concentrate on teaching positive Christian doctrine. This is the best answer to those who teach nonsense. By thinking and talking about the great truths of the Christian faith, teachers will build themselves up as well. They must not forget, however, to train themselves with the self-discipline that leads to spiritual fitness and lasting blessings (6-8).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:12

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.White's paraphrase of the meaning here is as follows:Assert the dignity of your office even though men may think you young to hold it. Let no one push you aside as a boy.[25] It should not be inferred from this, however, that Timothy was young by present-day methods of reckoning youth. Youth is a relative term, as pointed out by White: "Forty is reckoned old for a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:13

Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.Till I come ... As previously pointed out, we do not know if Paul ever was permitted to go to Ephesus again, as he planned here to do.Give heed to reading ... Despite the obvious application of this admonition to the simple necessity of study on the part of every minister, Lenski was sure that something else was meant. He wrote:Timothy is directed to pay close attention to the reading of the churches, that is, to WHAT is being read,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:14

Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.What was this gift, and where did Timothy get it? Lenski answers thus:God gave (it) not by a miraculous gift from heaven, but "by means of prophecy," by a communication of the word to him, and did that under the tutelage of one of the most capable prophets this word ever had, namely, Paul himself.[29] The gift may also be identified with Timothy's ability, as Paul's... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 4:12

1 Timothy 4:12. Let no man despise thy youth;— St. Paul here gives Timothy directions concerning his own conduct, especially as he was yet a young man, and had such difficulties upon his hands. He advises him to take a great deal of care how he behaved both in public and private, and particularly that he gave himself entirely to the work of the ministry, 1 Timothy 4:12-16. St. Paul wrote in a popular style; and, therefore, uses many words to the same purpose, to express the thing more... read more
