John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-15
Concerning Prayer, Thanksgiving, and the Place of Women1-8. The second charge to Timothy—to teach those over whom he was set to use public prayer and intercession.1. Therefore] in the sense of ’well then.’First of all] His first exhortation as to Christian men is that they should pray. Supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings] The duty of the Christian Church in the matter of intercession is to offer prayers for others, and to give thanks for good things happening to others, and for... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Timothy 2:3
(3) For this is good and acceptable.—That prayer be offered for all sorts and conditions of men is good and acceptable before God.In the sight of God our Saviour.—Here, as in 1 Timothy 1:1, this title of “Saviour” is given to the Father, and is in this place singularly applicable, as it immediately precedes the famous statement of the next verse, respecting the boundless mercy of the Eternal. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Timothy 2:4
(4) Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.—Here St. Paul gives some explanation of his exhortation, that “the congregation should pray for all men.” Our prayers after all—for those far off, as well as for those near—will be in strict harmony with the will of God. “Imitate God,” writes St. Chrysostom;” if He wills that all men should be saved, it is surely natural that prayer should be offered for all; if He willed that all should be saved, do thou will... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Timothy 2:5
(5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.—“For.” This gives the reason why it is good and well-pleasing in the sight of God that Christians should pray for all—for there is one Saviour, God the Father, who wills that all should be saved, and there is one Mediator, Christ Jesus, who has given Himself as ransom for all. Surely then, to us who call ourselves by the name of Christ, the fate of the heathen who as yet know not Christ cannot be a matter of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Timothy 2:6
(6) Who gave himself a ransom for all.—The declaration (of 1 Timothy 2:5) that there was one God for fallen man would have been scarcely a joyful proclamation had it not been immediately followed by the announcement that between that one God and sinning man there was a mediator, Now (in 1 Timothy 2:6) we have in a few words the inspired description of the manner in which the Mediator performed His office and work; of His own free sovereign will; He yielded up Himself to death as the price of... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Timothy 2:1-15
1 Timothy 2:1 St. Paul says somewhere, 'I exhort that first of all prayers... be made for all men'. Few souls are capable of that wide and deep prayer which embraces the interests of all the earth and all the Church of God. We limit ourselves too much; we look at our own concerns too closely; souls remain as it were folded back upon themselves, saddened by the monotonous view of their own imperfections and discouraged by their weakness. We must know sometimes how to shut our eyes to ourselves,... read more

II. CONCERNING PRAYER CHAPTER 2 1. Prayer for all men and for those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-7 ) 2. 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. The first concerns prayer. “I exhort, therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 1 Timothy 2:3
2:3 {3} For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;(3) Another argument, why churches or congregations ought to pray for all men, without any difference of nation, type, age, or order: that is, because the Lord by calling of all types, indeed sometimes those that are the greatest enemies to the Gospel, will have his Church gathered together after this manner, and therefore prayer is to be made for all. read more
