テモテヘの第一の手紙 2:1-5 JC

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

Verse 5 5For there is one God This argument might, at first sight, appear to be not very strong, that God wishes all men to be saved, because he is one; if a transition had not been made from God to men. Chrysostom — and, after him, others — view it in this sense, that there are not many gods, as idolaters imagine. But I think that Paul’s design was different, and that there is here an implied comparison of one God with the whole world and with various nations, out of which comparison arises a... 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

This for for this , A.V. and T.R. Acceptable ( ἀπόδεκτον ); only here and 1 Timothy 5:4 in the New Testament, and in one doubtful passage in Aquila's version of Song of Solomon 1:13 . Found in Plutarch. The verb ἀποδέχομαι , to receive gladly, is frequently used by St. Luke ( Luke 8:10 ; Acts 2:41 , where see note; etc.).

Willeth that all men should be saved for will have all men to be saved , A.V.; come to for to come unto , A.V. All men , etc.; to show that it is in accordance with God's will to pray for "all men" ( 1 Timothy 2:1 ). read more

One .. also for and one , A.V.; himself man , for the man , A.V. For there is one God , etc. The connection of ideas indicated by γὰρ seems to be this: Pray to God for all men, Jews and Gentiles, barbarians, Scythians, bond and free. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of the one God, who is the God of all the nations of the earth. And God wills that all should come to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, because Jesus Christ is the One Mediator between... 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
