Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 6:10

10. the love of money—not the money itself, but the love of it—the wishing to be rich (1 Timothy 6:9) —"is a root (ELLICOTT and MIDDLETON: not as English Version, 'the root') of all evils." (So the Greek plural). The wealthiest may be rich not in a bad sense; the poorest may covet to be so (1 Timothy 6:9- :). Love of money is not the sole root of evils, but it is a leading "root of bitterness" (1 Timothy 6:9- :), for "it destroys faith, the root of all that is good" [BENGEL]; its offshoots are... read more

11. But thou—in contrast to the "some" (1 Timothy 6:10). man of God—who hast God as thy true riches (Genesis 15:1; Psalms 16:5; Lamentations 3:24). Applying primarily to Timothy as a minister (compare Lamentations 3:24- :), just as the term was used of Moses (Lamentations 3:24- :), Samuel (1 Samuel 9:6), Elijah, and Elisha; but, as the exhortation is as to duties incumbent also on all Christians, the term applies secondarily to him (so 2 Timothy 3:17) as a Christian man born of God (James 1:18;... read more

12. Fight the good fight—BIRKS thinks this Epistle was written from Corinth, where contests in the national games recurred at stated seasons, which will account for the allusion here as in :-. Contrast "strifes of words" ( :-). Compare 1 Timothy 1:18; 2 Timothy 4:7. The "good profession" is connected with the good fight (2 Timothy 4:7- :). lay hold on eternal life—the crown, or garland, the prize of victory, laid hold of by the winner in the "good fight" (2 Timothy 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:8;... read more

13. quickeneth all things—that is, "maketh alive." But the oldest manuscripts read, "preserveth alive"; as the same Greek means in :-; compare Nehemiah 9:6. He urges Timothy to faithfulness here by the present manifestation of God's power in preserving all things, as in Nehemiah 9:6- :, by the future manifestation of God's power at the appearing of Christ. The assurance that "eternal life," Nehemiah 9:6- :, will be the result of "fighting the good fight," rests on the fulness and power of Him... read more

B. False teachers 6:3-10Paul returned to instructions concerning the false teachers (cf. 1 Timothy 1:3-11; 1 Timothy 4:1-5) to alert Timothy to their underlying attitudes so he could deal with them effectively.". . . Paul issues a kind of ’wanted poster.’ It is the counterpart to the ’job description’ given in chapter 3." [Note: Towner, 1-2 Timothy . . ., p.135.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 6:9-10

A simple lifestyle demonstrates contentment with the basics of life. [Note: I. Howard Marshall, The Pastoral Epistles, p. 649.] In contrast, greed for more opens the door to temptation. This temptation comes in the form of unwise lustful desires that impede one’s spiritual progress, as a trap holds an animal that gets tangled in it. Eventually the end of the person so snared is spiritual ruin and personal destruction if he or she does not escape its grip and turn from it.Paul used a second... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 6:11

In contrast to the "some" (1 Timothy 6:10) who pursued money, Timothy should flee from this attitude. Paul evidently called him a "man of God" to remind Timothy of his calling and commitment to follow God. The Old Testament writers used the title "man of God" of prophets (i.e., Moses, Deuteronomy 33:1; David, Nehemiah 12:24; Elijah, 1 Kings 17:18; and Elisha, 2 Kings 4:7). God used it only of Timothy in the New Testament. Paul was giving Timothy a great honor and encouragement by calling him a... read more

C. Those committed to Christ 6:11-16Paul continued the emphasis he began in the previous section (1 Timothy 6:3-10) by appealing to Timothy to pursue spiritual rather than physical goals in his life. He seems to have intended his instructions for all the faithful Ephesian Christians in view of what he just said in 1 Timothy 6:3 through 10. He addressed them to Timothy personally since he, as a leader of the church, had the greatest responsibility to set the example for the rest. Paul called on... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Timothy 6:12

Our enemy opposes the Christian’s pursuit of godly ideals. Paul therefore urged his younger friend to plunge into this conflict. The goal is worth fighting for, and it requires fighting for. In so doing Timothy could obtain the reward that God wants to bestow on every believer: the fullness of eternal life (cf. John 10:10). Some Christians have eternal life but never really lay hold of it. Similarly some people who are alive physically never really enter into the fullness of life because they... read more
