1 Timothy 1:10-11 KJV

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

St. Paul was about to commit extensive powers in the Church to Timothy. It was therefore necessary that lie should define clearly the source of his own authority. This he does very distinctly. He was an apostle according to the commandment of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hence his power to delegate authority to his son Timothy, and hence the duty of the Church to submit to Timothy's ruling. Among the powers committed to Timothy was that of ordaining bishops and deacons by the laying on of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:10

Fornicators for whoremongers, A.V.; abusers of themselves with men for them that defile themselves with mankind, A.V.; false swearers for perjured persons. A.V.; contrary for that is contrary, A.V.; the sound for sound, A.V. πόρνοις ἀρσενοκοίταις . The latter word is only found in the New Testament here and 1 Corinthians 6:9 . and nowhere else; but the reference is to Le 18:22, where the two words ἄρσενος and κοίτη occur, though not in actual composition. ἀνδραποδισταῖς ,... read more

The gospel of the glory for the glorious gospel , A,V. The gospel of the glory of the blessed God. The phrase, τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς δόξης τοῦ μακαρίου θεοῦ , cannot mean, as in the A.V., "the glorious gospel of the blessed God," except by a very forced construction.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:10

For whoremongers - Leviticus 19:29; Leviticus 20:5.For them that defile themselves with mankind - Sodomites. See the evidence that this crime abounded in ancient times, in the notes on Romans 1:27. It was forbidden by the law of Moses, and was punishable with death; Leviticus 20:13.For menstealers - The word here used - ἀνδρᾶποδιστής andrapodistēs - occurs nowhere else in the New Testament.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:11

According to the glorious gospel - The gospel is a system of divine revelation. It makes known the will of God. It states what is duty, and accords in its great principles with the law, or is in harmony with it. The law, in principle, forbids all which the gospel forbids, and in publishing the requirements of the gospel, therefore, Paul says that the law really forbade all which was prohibited in the gospel, and was designed to restrain all who would act contrary to that gospel. There is no... read more

1 Timothy 1:8-11. We know that the law is good Answers excellent purposes; if a man use it lawfully In a proper manner. Even the ceremonial law is good as it points to Christ, and is emblematical of the various branches of salvation that are in and through him; and the moral law is holy, just, and good, resulting from the nature of God and man, and the relations of mankind to him and each other, and of admirable use both to convince men of sin, and to bring them to Christ for... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-11

1:1-20 WARNING AGAINST FALSE TEACHERSFalse and true (1:1-11)The letter begins with a reminder to Timothy of the reason Paul urged him to stay at Ephesus. Timothy has to stop people wasting time and confusing others with senseless discussions that lead only to conflict and argument. Those responsible for this confusing teaching must learn to control their imagination. Instead of inventing fanciful stories based on Old Testament genealogies, they should concentrate on the kind of teaching that... read more
