提摩太前書 1:12-17 CUNPTS

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:17

Verse 17 17Now to the King eternal His amazing vehemence at length breaks out into this exclamation; because he could not find words to express his gratitude; for those sudden bursts occur chiefly when we are constrained to break off the discourse, in consequence of being overpowered by the vastness of the subject. And is there anything more astonishing than Paul’s conversion? Yet, at the same time, by his example he reminds us all that we ought never to think of the grace manifested in God’s... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

St. Paul was about to commit extensive powers in the Church to Timothy. It was therefore necessary that lie should define clearly the source of his own authority. This he does very distinctly. He was an apostle according to the commandment of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hence his power to delegate authority to his son Timothy, and hence the duty of the Church to submit to Timothy's ruling. Among the powers committed to Timothy was that of ordaining bishops and deacons by the laying on of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:12

I thank for and I thank, A.V. and T.R.; him that enabled me, even Christ Jesus our Lord for Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, A.V.; appointing me to his service for putting me into the ministry, A.V. I thank , etc. This outburst of praise for the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ, who had called him to the ministry of the Word, is caused by the thought, which immediately precedes, of his being entrusted with the gospel. He thus disclaims any notion of merit on his part. That enabled... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:13

Though I was for who was , A.V. and T.R.; howbeit for but , A.V. A blasphemer ( βλάσημον ); applied, as here, to persons, only in 2 Timothy 3:2 ; applied to words, Acts 6:11 , Acts 6:13 (T.R.). The verb βλασφημεῖν , and the substantive βλασφημία , are very common, both in the sense of "blaspheming" and of "railing" or "reviling." St. Paul was a blasphemer because he spoke against the Name of Jesus, which he had since discovered was a Name above all names. A... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:14

Abounded exceedingly for was exceeding abundant , A.V. Abounded exceedingly ( ὑπερεπλεόνασε ); only here in the New Testament or elsewhere except "in Psalterio Salomonis Psalms 5:1-12 :19, et in fragmento Hermae ap. Fabricium Bibl. Graec., lib. 5. cap. 1" (Schleusuer). But the word is thoroughly Pauline (comp. ὑπεραίρομαι ὑπεραυξάνωὑπερβάλλω ὑπερεκτείνω ὑπερπερισσεύω ὑπεροψόω , and other compounds with ὑπέρ . It is further remarkable, as regards ὑπέρ itself,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:15

Faithful is the saying for this is a faithful saying , A.V. Faithful is the saying ( πιστὸς ὁ λόγος ). This formula is peculiar to the pastoral Epistles ( 1 Timothy 3:1 ; 1 Timothy 4:9 ; 2 Timothy 2:11 ; Titus 3:8 ), and seems to indicate that there were a number of pithy sayings, maxims, portions of hymns or of catechetical teaching, current in the Church, and possibly originating in the inspired sayings of the Church prophets, to which the apostle appeals, and to which... read more

That in me as chief ; rather, as A.V., first; i.e. both in order of time, and in respect also of the greatness of the sin forgiven. Show forth ( ἐνδείξηται ; see 2 Timothy 4:14 , note).

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:17

Incorruptible for immortal , A.V.; only God for only wise God , A.V. and T.R. The King eternal. The Greek has the unusual phrase, τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν αἰώνων , "the king of the worlds or ages," which is not found elsewhere in the New Testament, but is found twice in the LXX .—Tobit 13:6 and 10-and in the Liturgy of St. James, in the εὐχὴ τῆς ἐνάρξεως and elsewhere. The similar phrase, ὁ θεὸς τῶν αἰώνων , is also found in Ecclus. 36:17. In all these passages it... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:12

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord - The mention of the gospel 1 Timothy 1:11, and of the fact that it was committed to him, leads the apostle to express his gratitude to him who had called him to the work of preaching it. The Lord Jesus had called him when he was a blasphemer and a persecutor. He had constrained him to leave his career of persecution and blasphemy, and to consecrate himself to the defense and the propagation of the gospel. For all this, though it had required him to give up his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:13

Who was before a blasphemer - This does not mean that Paul before his conversion was what would now be regarded as an open blasphemer - that he was one who abused and reviled sacred things, or one who was in the habit of profane swearing. His character appears to have been just the reverse of this, for he was remarkable for treating what he regarded as sacred with the utmost respect; see the notes on Philippians 3:4-6. The meaning is, that he had reviled the name of Christ, and opposed him and... read more
