Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:9

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,Lawless and unruly ... ungodly and sinners ... unholy and profane ... Hendriksen was correct in seeing the persons in view in these phrases as "those who flout the first four commandments of the Decalogue."[22] If there had been any doubt, the composition of the balance of this list... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:8

1 Timothy 1:8. If a man use it lawfully;— This plainly intimates, that there were some who abused the law, borrowing a pretence from it to condemn some of the best of men, and to subvert the gospel: and whereas some have represented St. Paul as an enemy to the law, he here denies and disproves the charge. The design of the Mosaic law was to direct the conduct of those to whom it was given, to humble them under a sense of their sins, and to lead them to an atoning Saviour; but it could not be... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 1:9

1 Timothy 1:9. Knowing this, &c.— The apostle's thought seems to be this, "That a law in the general,—(for there is no article, as in 1Ti 1:8 to determine or confine it to the Jewish law)—is chiefly intended to restrain men from actions injurious to the public:" what it says, therefore,chiefly relates to crimes, and their punishments; but the genius of Christianity is so sublime, that while it brings us to an all-sufficient Saviour, it leads us to all the heights and depths of holiness and... read more

8. But—"Now we know" (Romans 3:19; Romans 7:14). law is good—in full agreement with God's holiness and goodness. if a man—primarily, a teacher; then, every Christian. use it lawfully—in its lawful place in the Gospel economy, namely, not as a means of a "'righteous man" attaining higher perfection than could be attained by the Gospel alone (1 Timothy 4:8; Titus 1:14), which was the perverted use to which the false teachers put it, but as a means of awakening the sense of sin in the ungodly (1... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:9

9. law is not made for a righteous man—not for one standing by faith in the righteousness of Christ put on him for justification,and imparted inwardly by the Spirit for sanctification. "One not forensically amenable to the law" [ALFORD]. For sanctification, the law gives no inward power to fulfil it; but ALFORD goes too far in speaking of the righteous man as "not morally needing the law." Doubtless, in proportion as he is inwardly led by the Spirit, the justified man needs not the law, which... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 1:3-11

A. The task Timothy faced 1:3-11Paul penned these opening words to remind Timothy to correct teachers in the Ephesian church who were majoring on minor matters in their Bible teaching. In so doing he reminded Timothy of his own responsibility as a communicator of God’s truth."That the false teachers were . . . probably elders [of the house-churches in Ephesus] is supported by several items from 1 Timothy: their presuming to be ’teachers of the law’ (1 Timothy 1:7), a responsibility of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 1:3-20

II. TIMOTHY’S MISSION IN EPHESUS 1:3-20In chapter 1 Paul charged Timothy to remain faithful to the task with which Paul had entrusted him in Ephesus. He began by reminding Timothy what that task was and how he should carry out his chief duty. Then he exhorted Timothy to be faithful. He reminded his young protégé of God’s power to transform lives and warned him of the danger of acting contrary to his own spiritually sensitive conscience."The absence of . . . [a thanksgiving] here supports the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 1:8-11

The Law (Gr. nomos) is profitable if one uses it properly, according to its original intention ("lawfully," Gr. nomimos, a play on words)."Here its ’goodness’ is related to its being used properly, that is, treated as law (intended for the lawless, 1 Timothy 1:9) and not used ’illegitimately’ as a source for myths and endless genealogies, or for ascetic practices." [Note: Ibid., p. 45.] "Thus Paul is saying that the law is not given to apply in some mystical way to people who are already... read more

An apostle] St. Peter and St. John, with regard to whose position no question was raised, are content to call themselves presbyters (2 and 3 John, 1 Peter 5:1), but St. Paul usually designates himself as an Apostle owing to the peculiarity of his call to the apostleship which led his adversaries to deny him the title; and for the same reason he claims that he holds his apostleship by the commandment of God the... read more
