1 Timóteo 2:1-2 NVIPT

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

The apostle then turned to the public devotions of the Church. As the Church is the medium for proclamation of the doctrine of truth, so also is it the instrument of intercession as between men and God. The apostle used words that cover the whole ground, "supplications," "prayers," "intercessions," "thanksgivings." Christians in those days were being charged with rebellion against earthly government. The prayers of the Church disproved the charge. Such prayer is according to the will of God,... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

BISHOPS AND PEOPLE‘I exhort … that … prayers … be made … for all that are in authority.’ 1 Timothy 2:1-Exodus : It is a hard thing to be in authority. The man in authority must live his whole life in the fierce glare of public criticism. It also appears hard to realise that we have a duty to those in authority. The man in authority seems so far removed from us, so independent of anything that we can do. Yet we have such a duty—a practical duty expressed by St. Paul in his exhortation to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-2

‘I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men, for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity.’ ‘Therefore.’ To what does this ‘therefore’ refer? The only answer is that it has in mind the spiritual warfare in which Timothy was to engage. Here is, as it were, the first bombardment of the war. And Paul here brings out that the first essential in the present... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-10

Rallying The Troops. Paul’s Exhortation To The Men And Women Of The Church To Pray (1 Timothy 2:1-10 ). Having called Timothy to war the good warfare, while ensuring that he maintained faith and a good conscience, and having given examples of those who had not, Paul now calls on all the men and women in the church to join in that warfare. And they are to do that first by praying for all in authority, praying that they would govern wisely and justly so that all Christians may be able to lead a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

In View Of What Christ Has Done Paul Lays Out The Battle Plan For The Future And Organises God’s Forces In Order To Ensure That His Church Will Be The Mainstay Of All That He Has Accomplished (1 Timothy 1:18 to 1 Timothy 3:16 ). Calling on Timothy to prepare for spiritual warfare (1 Timothy 1:18-20), he exhorts prayer for all men, and especially for all in high places, in order that the work of God might go forward peaceably among all men, for that was why He had sent His Mediator as a man... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1-7

1 Timothy 2:1 to 1 Timothy 3:16 . The Charge Respecting Church Regulations. ( a) 1 Timothy 2:1-Ezra : . Public Worship. 1 Timothy 2:1-Judges : . Public Prayer.— Paul requires, as of first importance, the offering of public prayer in a catholic spirit. Since the Christian’ s rejection of state-religion might appear treasonable, he especially names kings and high officials ( cf. Romans 13:1 ff.). Such prayer for all men is well-pleasing to God. For His will is all men’ s salvation and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:1

Timothy (as was said before) was left at Ephesus to manage the affairs of the church there in the absence of Paul, who in this Epistle directs him as to this management. First he exhorts him to see that prayers should be made for all men. Supplications, dehseiv, for supply of wants. Prayers, proseucav, signifieth much the same; some will have it to signify petitions for the conservation or increase of what good things we have. Intercessions, enteuzeiv, prayers for others, whether for the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:2

For kings, and for all that are in authority: the kings of the earth at that time were all heathens, and enemies to the Christian religion, so (generally) were those who were in a subordinate authority to them, yet the apostle commands that prayers should be made in the Christian congregations for them. What the matter of their petitions was to be is not expressed, but doubtless not to be limited by the next words, for that were not to have prayed for them but for themselves. Prayers for... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-3

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES1 Timothy 2:1. Supplications, prayers, intercessions.—The first is a special form of the second. Intercession is prayer in its most individual and urgent form—prayer in which God is sought in audience and personally approached (Ellicott). Thanksgivings are always to accompany prayers.1 Timothy 2:2. For kings, and all that are in authority.—It is very noticeable that the neglect of this duty on the part of the Jews led to the commencement of their war with the... read more
