テモテへの手紙Ⅰ 4:12-14, 使徒の働き 15:36-40 JCB

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Timothy 4:6-16

XStirring exhortation for Timothy to genuine steadfastness in his Christian calling, and to continuous growth in it1 Timothy 4:6-166If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ2 [Christ Jesus], nourished up in the words of [the] faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained [which thou hast followed]. 7But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8For bodily exercise profiteth little:3... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:9-16

“Take Heed to Thyself” 1 Timothy 4:9-16 In all Christian service we must set our hope on the living God. Nothing counts apart from God. Prayer implies that all our gifts and efforts cover only a small part of our efficiency. There are infinite resources in God, which He is waiting to employ in human affairs, and of which we fail to make use. The Christian worker, therefore, must not only labor and strive, but must hope in the living God, whose saving grace is at the disposal of our faith.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

Having thus dealt with the Church, the apostle showed Timothy how he was to fulfil his responsibility. He had a duty toward the truth, and therefore toward the Church. In order to correct errors which would arise, Timothy was to give definite instruction. Abstinence from lawful things is a matter for personal decision and action, and must never be made a necessity of religious life or godliness. The apostle then described the secrets of strength for those who were called upon to defend the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:1-16

Paul Now Gives A More Detailed Account of What Timothy’s Ministry Will Involve (1 Timothy 4:1 to 1 Timothy 6:10 ). It is interesting how much the second half of this letter is patterned on the first. Both sections commence with an account of false teachers (1 Timothy 1:3-11; 1 Timothy 4:1-5). This is followed by a requirement for faithful service (Paul in 1 Timothy 1:12-15; Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:6-11) and for an example to be given to others (by Paul in 1 Timothy 1:16; by Timothy in 1... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:12

‘Let no man despise your youth, but you be an example to those who believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity.’ Paul was probably aware how sensitive Timothy was about being so comparatively young, being only in his thirties. But he has the solution. What he must do is outweigh his youth by being a good example in all aspects of his life. Nothing is more convincing to others than a genuine life. ‘Let no man despise your youth.’ Yes, but how? Why by being an example to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:12-16

Timothy Is To Work Out This Salvation That God Has Given Him By Being An Example To Others And Utilising His God Given Gift Fully In Faithful Teaching (1 Timothy 4:12-16 ). Just as the salvation of a Christian woman is to come to full fruition in childbearing and rearing (1 Timothy 2:15), so Timothy’s salvation is to come to full fruition by continuing to live and teach in the power that God has given him, so that all may see how he advances spiritually, as a result of which he will make... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:13

‘Until I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching.’ Meanwhile he has a task to do before Paul arrives. And that is to read, exhort and teach. In the light of the whole emphasis in these verses on addressing others we must probably see ‘reading’ as referring to reading aloud in the public meeting, from the Scriptures, and probably also from letters of Paul (compare Colossians 4:16) and written tradition about Jesus (the Testimony of Jesus - Revelation 1:2; Revelation 1:9). Such... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:14

Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.’ He wants Timothy to recognise his great responsibility. His calling had been recognised publicly through prophecy, and the eldership had laid hands on him (a sign of identification with him). And as a result he had received a gift, presumably of teaching (Romans 12:7; 1 Corinthians 12:28-29). It was thus incumbent on him not to neglect that gift. He had received a... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 4:6-16

1 Timothy 4:6-Nehemiah : . The Treatment Needed.— Timothy must meet the errors by ( a) personal example ( 1 Timothy 4:6-2 Samuel :) and ( b) diligent teaching ( 1 Timothy 4:11-Nehemiah :).In combating error he must continually draw his strength from the doctrinal statements hitherto followed by him. The silly myths that are current ( 1 Timothy 1:3-1 Kings : *) he must reject. The fully-developed asceticism of 1 Timothy 4:3 lies in the future, but in these fables its principles are already... read more

Let no man despise thy youth; so carry thyself in thy office, as not to give occasion to any to despise thee because thou art but a young man. But be thou an example of the believers: which thou wilt do if thou so livest as to be a just pattern unto Christians, imitable by them in word, in thy common and ordinary discourse, (for he speaks not of his being a pattern only to other ministers, but to believers in the generality), not talking frothily or profanely, or idly and impertinently, but... read more
