Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 6:11-21

Final Exhortation And Teaching (1 Timothy 6:11-21 ). Paul closes his letter with a further charge to Timothy (compare 1 Timothy 1:5), followed by a reference to the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and a further description of the glory of God (compare 1 Timothy 1:17), and ending with a warning against getting ensnared in the teaching of false prophets, which is where his letter began (1 Timothy 1:3-4). Incorporated within it is an powerful exhortation to Timothy to fight the good fight of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 6:12

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, to which you were called, and did confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.’ The thought of fighting the good fight of faith has been a theme of the letter. In 1 Timothy 1:18 he was told to war a good warfare, and military terminology has appeared all the way through. It is a central theme of the letter. There is no need therefore to resort to he terminology of the games, although that too has been previously in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 6:13

‘I charge you in the sight of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession,’ Paul now gives Timothy a solemn charge, a charge which applies to all God’s people. It is made in the sight of God Who is the giver of life, and of the Messiah Jesus, Who sealed His confession before Pontius Pilate ‘unto death’, as the Faithful and True Witness (Revelation 1:5; Revelation 3:14). His was the death and resurrection from which the good... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 6:13-15

Having Exhorted Timothy, Paul Now Charges Him In The Sight Of God To Obey His Orders Blamelessly Until The Coming Of Our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 6:13-15 ). Once again Paul comes to the conclusion of a section with a picture of the magnificence and glory of God and of Jesus Christ. In 1 Timothy 1:17 he revealed the glory and uniqueness of God, although as we saw it might equally refer to the Lord, Jesus Christ, in 1 Timothy 3:16 he revealed the glory of Jesus’ activity in salvation as God... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 6:11-16

( b) 1 Timothy 6:11-Nehemiah : . Timothy’ s Call to Fidelity.— In contrast with this quest for worldly profit ( 1 Timothy 6:5; 1 Timothy 6:9 f.) Timothy must pursue the Christian virtues. Let him, in life’ s arena (for the metaphor cf. 2 Timothy 4:7, 1 Corinthians 9:24, Php_3:12 ), continuously wage faith’ s fair contest, and so obtain the victor’ s garland, eternal life ( James 1:12, Revelation 2:10). It was to win this prize that he was summoned in his baptism, at which, entering upon the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 6:12

The fight of faith is our encountering that opposition which we meet with from the world, the flesh, or the devil, for a strenuous defending the doctrine of faith, or making it good by a life suitable to the rule of faith. This is called a good fight, either in opposition to the bad fights of the men of the world in maintenance of their lusts, or the ludicrous fights usual in their public games, or of the intrinsic nobleness and exercise of it, or the good event or issue of it; and Timothy is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 6:13

The apostle’s care of the church showeth itself in these severe charges laid upon Timothy; though one whom he knew to be a faithful minister, he chargeth him, calling God to witness that he had fulfilled his part in laying this charge upon him. The name he here giveth unto God may possibly have a particular reference to the state of the gospel at that time, the doctrine and profession of which had many enemies, and so it is made use of here to comfort and encourage Timothy. God is called he who... read more

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 6:11. Flee these things; and follow after.—We have a vivid view of the fear on the one side, and the eagerness of desire on the other.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—1 Timothy 6:11-12Pursuit of the True Riches.I. Pursuit of the true riches is alone worthy of the man of God.—“But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after” (1 Timothy 6:11). God, and not worldly riches, is the sole object of the good man’s desires. He has got a glimpse of the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 6:12

1 Timothy 6:12 Man's Great Duty. I. Consider our need of eternal life. Sin has brought death into this world; and we are all of us involved in the calamity and buried in the ruins of the fall. We may not have sinned as others have done: that is very possible. But though we have sinned less than others, we cannot be saved by merit; even as, thank God, though we have sinned more than others we may be saved by mercy. Those who speak of great and little, of few and many sins, seem to forget that... read more
