The place for the man and the woman (1 Timothy 2:8-15 ) 1 Timothy 2:1-7 Instructions are now given by the apostle.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

We have seen in chapter 1 that the grace of God must predominate as the one principle of true blessing, and the one corrective when falsehood threatens. Chapter 2 now calls for an attitude consistent with this grace, in the face of all the inconsistency that prevails around us. Here is true Christian character in connection with the house of God: prayer is of utmost importance. This word "exhort" is the same as "charge" or "command" previously seen, a responsibility placed solemnly upon... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

CONCERNING PUBLIC PRAYER Chapter 2 is taken up with regulations concerning public prayer. First, he directs that intercessory prayer he made for all men (1 Timothy 2:1-7 ). What class of men is especially singled out (1 Timothy 2:2 )? What selfish motive on the part of the church should induce such intercessory prayer? And yet what higher motive is suggested (1 Timothy 2:4 )? What does this verse suggest as to the object of such intercession so far as those in authority are concerned? On... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:8-15

(8) I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. (9) ¶ In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; (10) But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. (11) Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. (12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (13)... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:8-15

8-15 Under the gospel, prayer is not to be confined to any one particular house of prayer, but men must pray every where. We must pray in our closets, pray in our families, pray at our meals, pray when we are on journeys, and pray in the solemn assemblies, whether more public or private. We must pray in charity; without wrath, or malice, or anger at any person. We must pray in faith, without doubting, and without disputing. Women who profess the Christian religion, must be modest in apparel,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-99

1Tim 2 IN THE LIGHT of these solemnizing considerations Paul commences his charge to Timothy in verse 1Ti_2:1 of chapter 2. His first exhortation is significant. In the end of 1Tim 3.0 he tells us that the church to which Timothy belonged, and to which we belong is the “house of God” for God is dwelling today in the midst of His redeemed people. Now it was always God’s intention that His house should be called “an house of prayer for all people” ( Isa_56:7 ). The temple in Jerusalem should... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

Prayer and Modest Adorning 1 Timothy 2:1-15 The Apostle especially urged intercessory prayer, because it meant so much to himself. Three different words are used of prayer, because there are so many ways of approaching God. It is our duty to pray for those in authority, and to seek after a calm and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. It was most important that Christians should not be suspected of revolutionary designs or civic turbulence. If they had to suffer, it must be only on... read more
