1 Timothy 2:4

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Ver. 4. Who will have all men, &c. ] God willeth, to wit, with a will whereby he inviteth, and putteth no bar; not with a will whereby he effecteth it, taking away all impediments.

That all men ] Not distributively taken, but collectively, as thrice in one verse, Colossians 1:28 .

Should be saved ] viz. If they do what he commandeth: God doth not tie himself to cause them to do what he commandeth, that they may be saved.

And to come to the knowledge ] The only way to salvation. Pray therefore that their eyes may be opened, Acts 26:18 .
