提摩太前书 2:3-6 CUVS

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:6

1 Timothy 2:6. Who gave himself— That is, cheerfully and willingly. See John 10:18. For all, is added for the same reason as all men in 1 Timothy 2:4. To be testified in due time, is, according to the Greek, a testimony to his own times. Jesus Christ is called a faithful witness, Rev 1:5 and is said to have witnessed before Pilate a good confession; 1 Timothy 6:13. Some would connect this with the next verse thus;—A ransom for all: a doctrine to be borne witness to in due time; of which I am... read more

3. this—praying for all men. in the sight of God—not merely before men, as if it were their favor that we sought (2 Corinthians 8:21). our Saviour—a title appropriate to the matter in hand. He who is "our Saviour" is willing that all should be saved (1 Timothy 2:4; Romans 5:18); therefore we should meet the will of God in behalf of others, by praying for the salvation of all men. More would be converted if we would pray more. He has actually saved us who believe, being "our Saviour." He is... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:4

4. "Imitate God." Since He wishes that all should be saved, do you also wish it; and if you wish it, pray for it. For prayer is the instrument of effecting such things [CHRYSOSTOM]. Paul does not say, "He wishes to save all"; for then he would have saved all in matter of fact; but "will have all men to be saved," implies the possibility of man's accepting it (through God's prevenient grace) or rejecting it (through man's own perversity). Our prayers ought to include all, as God's grace included... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

5. For there is one God—God's unity in essence and purpose is a proof of His comprehending all His human children alike (created in His image) in His offer of grace (compare the same argument from His unity, Romans 3:30; Galatians 3:20); therefore all are to be prayed for. 1 Timothy 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:5 is proved from 1 Timothy 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 Timothy 2:1; 1 Timothy 2:4. The one God is common to all (Isaiah 45:22; Acts 17:26). The one Mediator is mediator between God and all men potentially... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:6

6. gave himself— ( :-). Not only the Father gave Him for us ( :-); but the Son gave Himself ( :-). ransom—properly of a captive slave. Man was the captive slave of Satan, sold under sin. He was unable to ransom himself, because absolute obedience is due to God, and therefore no act of ours can satisfy for the least offense. Leviticus 25:48 allowed one sold captive to be redeemed by one of his brethren. The Son of God, therefore, became man in order that, being made like unto us in all things,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 2:1-7

A. The priority of prayer for peoples’ salvation 2:1-7The apostle’s first positive instruction to Timothy regarding his leadership of the Ephesian church was that believers should offer prayer for all people. He gave this directive to emphasize its importance, defend its value, and clarify its practice."The ministry of prayer is the most important service that the Church of Christ can engage in."It [prayer] is the most dynamic work which God has entrusted to His saints, but it is also the most... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 2:3-4

Prayers of this type please God because God is essentially the Savior, the One who delights to rescue sinners from the wages of their sin. There were other professed saviors in Ephesus at this time."Alongside worship of Artemis, the Imperial cult was a dominant religious-political fixture in Ephesus at this time." [Note: Towner, The Letters . . ., p. 176. See also S. R. F. Price, Rituals and Power: The Roman Imperial Cult in Asia Minor, pp 53-100; and P. Trebilco, Early Christians in Ephesus... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 2:5-6

Many commentators believed Paul was citing another common creedal statement in these verses. Another possibility is that God inspired him to form this statement himself as he wrote this epistle. In either case we have here a succinct affirmation of the person and work of Christ. The whole statement supports what Paul just said in 1 Timothy 2:3-4.The God-man is the only mediator of the New Covenant between God and man, providing salvation man-ward and facilitating prayer God-ward. This is... read more

Darby's Synopsis of the New Testament - 1 Timothy 2:4

2:4 knowledge (h-13) Epignosis , as Colossians 1:10 , where it is translated 'true knowledge.' It is that which acknowledges the truth of a thing, and to know the truth thus suggests possession of it. But 'full knowledge' here would hardly be an appropriate translation, as it would imply a contrast with 'partial knowledge.' read more
