Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God - This is a reason for offering prayer for all people, and for the declaration 1 Timothy 2:4 that God desires that all people should be saved. The reason is founded in the fact that he is the common Father of all the race, and that he must have the same desire for the welfare of all his children, He has made them of one blood Acts 17:26, and he must have the same interest in the happiness of all; compare Ephesians 4:6 note; Romans 3:30 note.And one Mediator between God and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:1-15

2:1-4:16 CHURCH LEADERSHIP AND TEACHINGConduct in church meetings (2:1-15)Teachers of the kind Paul has described in Chapter 1 are usually narrow in their outlook and pray only for those of their own group. Christians should avoid such selfishness. They should pray for all without distinction, for God wants all to be saved (2:1-4). This salvation comes through the death of Jesus Christ. Paul rejoices that God has appointed him an apostle and teacher to make known this good news to the Gentiles... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus,As David Lipscomb noted, the reference to Jesus Christ as a man is in the present tense, despite the fact of this having been written after the ascension of Christ, indicating that our Lord did not cease being a man when he rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of God. In like manner, he did not cease being God when he descended for the purpose of the Incarnation.One God ... With great difficulty,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

1 Timothy 2:5. The man Christ Jesus;— Christ's being styled man, when spoken of as the Mediator between God and men, is no more an argument against his being also God, in the discharge of that office; than its being at other times said, that, "the Lord of glory was crucified, and God purchased the church with his own blood," (l Cor. 1 Timothy 2:8. Acts 20:28.), is an argument against his being man, in his sufferings and bloodshed: and as he is expressly called the one mediator, this must... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 2:5

5. For there is one God—God's unity in essence and purpose is a proof of His comprehending all His human children alike (created in His image) in His offer of grace (compare the same argument from His unity, Romans 3:30; Galatians 3:20); therefore all are to be prayed for. 1 Timothy 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:5 is proved from 1 Timothy 2:4; 1 Timothy 2:5; 1 Timothy 2:1; 1 Timothy 2:4. The one God is common to all (Isaiah 45:22; Acts 17:26). The one Mediator is mediator between God and all men potentially... read more

A. The priority of prayer for peoples’ salvation 2:1-7The apostle’s first positive instruction to Timothy regarding his leadership of the Ephesian church was that believers should offer prayer for all people. He gave this directive to emphasize its importance, defend its value, and clarify its practice."The ministry of prayer is the most important service that the Church of Christ can engage in."It [prayer] is the most dynamic work which God has entrusted to His saints, but it is also the most... read more
