1 Timothy 1:2

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

Edification 1Ti 1:4 It appears that at Ephesus there were some who taught another doctrine than Paul had expounded in the name of Christ. Paul, on that account, besought Timothy to abide at Ephesus, to do his utmost to check the progress of error, to "charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith." The Apostle teaches that there is no edification, or building up, in... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-2

(1) ¶ Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; (2) Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. I think it not improper to observe to the Reader, that, notwithstanding Paul was well known to Timothy, yet he reminds this youth of his Apostolic authority. His first miraculous call by Christ; Acts 9:3 , etc. his after ordination by the Holy Ghost Acts 13:1-5 .... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:2

To Timothy, my beloved son [1] in faith: not that St. Paul first converted him, but that by his instructions he was settled in the principles of faith and of the Christian religion.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1-4

1-4 Jesus Christ is a Christian's hope; all our hopes of eternal life are built upon him; and Christ is in us the hope of glory. The apostle seems to have been the means of Timothy's conversion; who served with him in his ministry, as a dutiful son with a loving father. That which raises questions, is not for edifying; that which gives occasion for doubtful disputes, pulls down the church rather than builds it up. Godliness of heart and life can only be kept up and increased, by the exercise of... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-99

1Tim 1 IN HIS OPENING verse Paul presents his apostleship as proceeding from God our Saviour not from Jesus our Saviour, as we might have put it. He is going to bring before us the living GOD as both Saviour and Preserver ( 1Ti_2:3 ; 1Ti_4:10 ) and so he commences on this note, and presents the Lord Jesus to us as our hope. When declension sets in it is well for us to know a living God as our Preserver, and to have our hopes centred not in churches, bishops, deacons, nor in a man of any... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Timothy 1:1-2

Introduction and Greeting. v. 1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God, our Savior, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our Hope, v. 2. unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God, our Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord. This superscription characterizes both content and tone of the entire letter. While Paul does not emphasize his apostolic authority with the force which he uses in the letter to the Galatians or with the firm insistence of the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-11

A Charge against “Vain Talking” 1 Timothy 1:1-11 The relation of Paul to Timothy is an example of one of those beautiful friendships between an older and a younger man, in which each is the complement of the other, 1 Corinthians 4:17 ; Philippians 2:22 . Timothy was a lad of fifteen when converted at Lystra, and was probably about thirty-five years of age when this Epistle was addressed to him. He was enthusiastic and devoted but at times showed signs of timidity, and the Apostle watched... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 1:1-20

This letter is an apostle's letter to a young minister having oversight of the church in Ephesus. The first part of the letter deals with the Church, its doctrine, its devotions, and its ministry. Difficulties existed in that "certain men" were teaching erroneous doctrine. In all probability, the reference was to the Gnostic heresies. The apostle shows the relation of "sound doctrine" to the law which the Gnostics were misinterpreting. Enumerating the evils resulting from such false teaching,... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:1-7

Our Guide amid the Denials of the Faith 1 Timothy 1:1-7 , 1 Timothy 1:18-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Will Christ find Faith on the earth? The question above has to do with the Second Coming of Christ, and the Second Coming of Christ has to do with the conditions which will conclude the age in which we are now living. The Apostle Peter plainly told us, in the Spirit, of the advent of mockers in the last times. These mockers are men who deny the Faith, and particularly, who say, "Where is the... read more
