Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 4:2

1 Timothy 4:2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy Greek, εν υποκρισει ψευδολογων , by the hypocrisy of them that speak lies. This is a more literal, and at the same time a more just translation of the words than that given in our Bible, which represents the demons as speaking lies in hypocrisy, which could not be the apostle’s meaning, as it would not accord with what follows. Having their conscience seared, &c. An expression which could not be intended of devils. The hypocrisy here... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 4:3

1 Timothy 4:3. Forbidding to marry The same hypocritical liars, who should promote the worship of demons, should also prohibit lawful marriage. This false morality was very early introduced into the church, being taught first by the Encratites and Marcionites, and afterward by the Manicheans, who said marriage was the invention of the evil god; and who considered it as sinful to bring creatures into the world to be unhappy, and to be food for death. In process of time the monks embraced... read more

Ταυτα υποτιθεμενος τοις αδελφοις , suggesting these things to the brethren, concerning the lawfulness of all sorts of meats, and concerning the corrupt doctrines and practices which are to arise in the church; thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ And shalt act as may be expected from one who has been nourished up From his very childhood; in the words of faith Words laying a foundation for faith, and the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 4:8

1 Timothy 4:8. For bodily exercise profiteth little That is, say Estius, Whitby, Doddridge, and some others, the exercises about which many are so solicitous, and in the pursuit of which they go through so many fatigues, namely, in preparing for and attending the public games, are but of little use, the best rewards of them being of a very transient and fading nature. Or by bodily exercise may be understood rather the mortifications which the Jewish fables were framed to recommend, and the... read more

1 Timothy 4:9-11. This Concerning the advantage of godliness; is a faithful saying A saying as important as it is true; and worthy of all acceptation That is, of entire credit, and of the most earnest and continued attention and regard. For, therefore On this account, because we are assured of the excellence and necessity of this godliness, and of the advantages attending it in time and in eternity; we both labour and suffer reproach Take all manner of pains, and undergo all kinds... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:1-5

The true church; the false teachers (3:14-4:5)Timothy is urged to remind the believers that their behaviour should reflect the character of the church of God to which they belong. That church is not like a heathen temple occupied by some lifeless god, but is the dwelling place of the living God and the upholder of his truth (14-15). This living God (in the words of an early Christian song that Paul quotes) entered the world of human existence in the person of Jesus Christ, who died, rose from... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 4:6-16

Dealing with the false teachers (4:6-16)Paul makes it clear to Timothy that good teachers do not waste time arguing about silly stories, but concentrate on teaching positive Christian doctrine. This is the best answer to those who teach nonsense. By thinking and talking about the great truths of the Christian faith, teachers will build themselves up as well. They must not forget, however, to train themselves with the self-discipline that leads to spiritual fitness and lasting blessings (6-8).... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - 1 Timothy 4:3

Forbidding to marry . This has been taken as indicating the Church of Rome, but that church only enjoins the celibacy of priests and monks and nuns. Spiritism, or the teaching of demons, enjoins being united only to the "spiritual affinity" and has wrecked many homes. abstain . Greek. apechomoi . See Acts 16:20 . meats = efoods. Spiritist teaching is that animal food is unfavourable to the development of mediumistic power. The permission of Genesis 9:3 is significant, coming immediately... read more
