1Timothy 1:
1: Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope(Christ Alone and what He did at the Cross 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(all made possible by the Cross). 3: As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus(Paul desired that Timothy remain at Ephesus for a period of time because of false teachers attempting to spread false doctrine among the people), when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other Doctrine(the Doctrine must be “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified”), 4: Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies(Jewish fables and Jewish genealogies; so, the false teachers were Judaizers who insisted that Law must be added to Grace, and who placed no stock in the Cross at all; in a sense), which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in Faith(this speaks of the the fact that Faith, not Law is the sphere or element in which our Salvation functions; such Faith always has the Cross as its object, and thereby edifies): so do. 5: Now the end of the commandment(charge) is charity out of a pure heart(which alone can produce love), and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned(pretended faith): 6: From which some having swerved(left the Cross) have turned aside unto vain jangling(useless talk); 7: Desiring to be teachers of the law(refers to the Law of Moses and speaks of the Judaizers); understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm(they only had surface knowledge). 8: But we know that the law is good(showing that he was not an enemy of the Law), if a man use it lawfully(understanding that the Law of Moses pointed strictly to Christ; when He came, He fulfilled it in totality); 9: Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers(true Believers do not fall into these categories), 10: For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind(homosexuality), for menstealers(slave traders), for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine(actually refers to all that is contrary to the Word of God); 11: According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God(pertains to His Blessed Gift of Forgiveness offered to all sinners who accept His Gospel of Love), which was committed to my trust(The Lord chose Paul as the recipient and bearer of the New Covenant). 12: And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry(the Lord knew Paul would be Faithful and the Gospel would not be comprimised); 13: Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious(before he was saved): but I obtained Mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14: And the Grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant(proclaims that which God stands ready to give to any honest, and earnest seeker) with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15: This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation(the Gospel of Christ dying to save sinners is worthy of being accepted by the whole world), that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners(which He did through the Cross); of whom I am chief(Paul felt he was the number one sinner of all time before his Salvation). 16: Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him(on Christ and what He did at the Cross) to life everlasting. 17: Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 18: This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy(refers to a command or injunction), according to the prophecies which went before on thee(probably refers to the time frame of Acts 16:1-3), that thou by them mightest war a good warfare(we aren't told exactly what the Prophecies were, but that they spoke of an assignment to leadership in the Army of King Jesus); 19: Holding faith(maintaining Faith in Christ and the Cross), and a good conscience(speaks of following the Word exactly as it is given); which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck(a metaphor used by Paul, pointing to those who had abandoned the Cross): 20: Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander(presents two examples of one not “holding the Faith”); whom I have delivered unto Satan(1Cor.5:5), that they may learn not to blaspheme(This tells us that all who depart from “the Faith,” which is Jesus Christ and Him Crucified, can only be concluded as “blaspheming.”) Isaiah 53:5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Matt.1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matt.26:28: For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 1Peter 2:24: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Eph.1:7: In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Thank You Jesus To Christ Be The Praise!! |
