提摩太前書 1:6-7 CUNPTS

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:3-11

(3) As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, (4) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. (5) ¶ Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: (6) From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; (7) Desiring to be teachers... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:5-11

5-11 Whatever tends to weaken love to God, or love to the brethren, tends to defeat the end of the commandment. The design of the gospel is answered, when sinners, through repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ, are brought to exercise Christian love. And as believers were righteous persons in God's appointed way, the law was not against them. But unless we are made righteous by faith in Christ, really repenting and forsaking sin, we are yet under the curse of the law, even according... read more

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

1Tim 1 IN HIS OPENING verse Paul presents his apostleship as proceeding from God our Saviour not from Jesus our Saviour, as we might have put it. He is going to bring before us the living GOD as both Saviour and Preserver ( 1Ti_2:3 ; 1Ti_4:10 ) and so he commences on this note, and presents the Lord Jesus to us as our hope. When declension sets in it is well for us to know a living God as our Preserver, and to have our hopes centred not in churches, bishops, deacons, nor in a man of any... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Timothy 1:6

1 Timothy THE END OF THE COMMANDMENT 1Ti_1:6 . The Apostle has just said that he left Timothy in Ephesus, in order to check some tendencies there which were giving anxiety. Certain teachers had appeared, the effect of whose activity was to create parties, to foster useless speculations, and to turn the minds of the Ephesian Christians away from the practical and moral side of Christianity. In opposition to these, the Apostle here lays down the broad principle that God has spoken, not in... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-11

A Charge against “Vain Talking” 1 Timothy 1:1-11 The relation of Paul to Timothy is an example of one of those beautiful friendships between an older and a younger man, in which each is the complement of the other, 1 Corinthians 4:17 ; Philippians 2:22 . Timothy was a lad of fifteen when converted at Lystra, and was probably about thirty-five years of age when this Epistle was addressed to him. He was enthusiastic and devoted but at times showed signs of timidity, and the Apostle watched... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

This letter is an apostle's letter to a young minister having oversight of the church in Ephesus. The first part of the letter deals with the Church, its doctrine, its devotions, and its ministry. Difficulties existed in that "certain men" were teaching erroneous doctrine. In all probability, the reference was to the Gnostic heresies. The apostle shows the relation of "sound doctrine" to the law which the Gnostics were misinterpreting. Enumerating the evils resulting from such false teaching,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-7

Our Guide amid the Denials of the Faith 1 Timothy 1:1-7 , 1 Timothy 1:18-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Will Christ find Faith on the earth? The question above has to do with the Second Coming of Christ, and the Second Coming of Christ has to do with the conditions which will conclude the age in which we are now living. The Apostle Peter plainly told us, in the Spirit, of the advent of mockers in the last times. These mockers are men who deny the Faith, and particularly, who say, "Where is the... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:3-17

Paul’s Initial Charge To Timothy (1 Timothy 1:3-17 ). Timothy is first reminded why he is in Ephesus and what his task is. a He has been called on to charge the church leaders to be faithful to the truth and not to heed false teachers, some of whose teachings are indicated as being connected with ‘fables and endless genealogies which raise questions’ (1 Timothy 1:3-5). b Paul then gives his verdict on those false teachers. They desire to be ‘Teachers Of The Law’ but in fact lack the... read more
