Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:3

This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;God himself is the Saviour of all people; and "This passage emphasizes the universality of the sufficiency, applicability and offer of the gospel to all men."[10] "This" in this verse applies first of all to the prayers commanded to be offered, and also includes the contemplated results in the quiet and peaceable life granted to Christians as a consequence. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:4

who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth.Who would have all men to be saved ... It is the will of God that all men should inherit eternal life; but it is also the will of God that people should do so through acceptance of Jesus Christ, and persons refusing to do that must forfeit the inheritance. Another factor that enters into the consideration is the will of man, God having granted to all people the freedom of their will; and, where man's will is unresponsive... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,As David Lipscomb noted, the reference to Jesus Christ as a man is in the present tense, despite the fact of this having been written after the ascension of Christ, indicating that our Lord did not cease being a man when he rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of God. In like manner, he did not cease being God when he descended for the purpose of the Incarnation.One God ... With great difficulty,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:6

who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times;The actual meaning of this somewhat obscure passage has been often disputed, but it would appear that the timeliness of the testimony is what Paul emphasized, calling to mind the words of Titus 1:2. It was in the mind of God "before the world was" to redeem humanity; and as Paul said in another place, "When the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law" (Galatians 4:4). Thus,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:7

whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.The definite and emphatic missionary outreach of these first seven verses is supported by 1 Timothy 2:5-7, the "all men" of 1 Timothy 2:4 being inclusive of the Gentiles specifically mentioned here. The reason that "all men" were to be publicly prayed for by the church (including the Gentiles, of course) was stated in the Christology of 1Tim. 2:5,1 Timothy 2:6. Since... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:4

1 Timothy 2:4. Who will have all men to be saved,— It is here asserted by an inspired apostle, that God desireth the salvation of all men; and, in order to their bring capable of higher degrees of glory and happiness, would have them embrace the gospel, wherever it is preached, and become members of his preparatory kingdom. This is a pleasing thought, and cannot but be highly grateful to all benevolent minds: and if it should be inquired, "Why then are not all men saved?—Is not God infinite in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

1 Timothy 2:5. The man Christ Jesus;— Christ's being styled man, when spoken of as the Mediator between God and men, is no more an argument against his being also God, in the discharge of that office; than its being at other times said, that, "the Lord of glory was crucified, and God purchased the church with his own blood," (l Cor. 1 Timothy 2:8. Acts 20:28.), is an argument against his being man, in his sufferings and bloodshed: and as he is expressly called the one mediator, this must... read more

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:7

1 Timothy 2:7. (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;)— St. Paul uses such solemnity in asserting this doctrine, because the Jews were so much averse to it, and were ready to charge his preaching the gospel among the Gentiles, either upon the want of a due regard to his own nation, or some view of avarice or ambition; looking upon the Gentiles as the most detestable creatures, and probably growing more inveterate against them in proportion to the degree in which theywere compelled to permit... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:3

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
