#1:1 Christ, (b-5)
 Or, according to some authorities, 'Christ Jesus.'

#1:2 our (c-13)
 Or 'the.'

#1:4 which (d-11)
 ' Not merely a relative pronoun, stating the fact, but the
 character. They are such as do so.

#1:4 dispensation, (e-18)
 See Note l, Col. 1.25.

#1:5 enjoined (f-7)
 This refers to ver. 3.

#1:5 faith; (g-21)
 i.e. 'love out of a pure heart and (out of) a good conscience
 and (out of) unfeigned faith.'

#1:6 missed, (h-5)
 As ch. 6.21.

#1:9 application (i-8)
 A technical word for the enactment of a law, its being in
 force.

#1:12 thank (k-3)
 Or 'I am thankful to him who has given me power (_dunamis_),
 Christ Jesus our Lord.'

#1:12 him (a-22)
 Or 'appointing me to ministry (_diakonia_), who.'

#1:16 of (b-24)
 As 'outline,' 2Tim. 1.13. It is a mistake to confine
 delineation to long-suffering, and so make 'of' mean 'for:'
 'for those,' &c. Paul was a delineation of Christ's ways in
 _their_ case, even, I doubt not, in the case of the rebellious
 Jews hereafter: the whole long-suffering was in Paul's case, so
 as to picture every case. In those who companied with Christ
 when alive this was not so, though the grace was really the
 same; but there was not the same showing forth of it.

#1:18 charge, (c-2)
 As 'enjoin,' vers. 3,5.

#1:18 that (d-20)
 I have left the ambiguity as in Greek. I apprehend the series
 of ideas in the apostle's mind is: he commits -- in order that;
 but he refers to the prophecies -- that by them. The 'as to
 thee' is more closely connected with prophecies.

#1:19  (e-1)
 Or 'holding fast,' as 2Tim. 1.13.

#1:19 faith (f-2)
 The word 'faith' embraces two ideas: doctrine, as taught of
 God and received; and subjectively the state of soul. If I have
 cast off the faith, the doctrine and the state of soul are both
 gone. Here 'faith' (first time) is the inward energy of grace
 which holds fast the truth. The two are not separated, but the
 state of the soul is first in the apostle's mind. In the
 second, they, having put away a good conscience, did not hold
 fast the faith, but lost it in some way thus objectively. In
 this second case, there is the article in Greek, which does not
 exclude faith in the soul, but leads the mind to the faith. In
 English 'the faith' would be too absolute or merely doctrinal.

#2:1 intercessions, (g-10)
 Personal and confiding intercourse with God on the part of
 one able to approach him, as Rom. 8.27,34; Heb. 7.25.

#2:4 knowledge (h-13)
 _Epignosis_, as Col. 1.10, where it is translated 'true
 knowledge.' It is that which acknowledges the truth of a thing,
 and to know the truth thus suggests possession of it. But 'full
 knowledge' here would hardly be an appropriate translation, as
 it would imply a contrast with 'partial knowledge.'

#2:5 mediator (i-7)
 Or 'there is one God and one mediator.'

#2:6 for (k-6)
 _Antilutron huper_: a ransom in place of.

#2:7 herald (l-8)
 Or 'preacher,' as 2Tim. 1.11; 2Pet. 2.5.

#2:8 men (m-6)
 i.e. men in contrast to women.

#2:8 pious (a-13)
 _Hosios_, as 'holy,' Heb. 7.26.

#2:9 dress (b-12)
 The whole deportment; the way in which the woman presents
 herself, of which dress is a sign.

#2:9 discretion, (c-18)
 i.e. 'sobriety' or with 'sound mind;' so ver. 15, as Rom.
 12.3; 2Tim. 1.7.

#2:12 man, (d-15)
 Or 'a man.' It is in contrast with women, as in ver. 8.

#2:14 deceived, (e-11)
 A strong form of the word, but scriptural Greek often adds
 strengthening prepositions with the force little changed: see
 Rom. 7.11; 16.18; 1Cor. 3.18; 2Cor. 11.3; 2Thess. 2.3, where
 the same Greek word is used.

#2:15 holiness (f-16)
 _Hagiasmos_. See Note i at Rom. 1.4.

#3:2 discreet, (g-12)
 i.e. 'of sound mind,' as ch. 2.9.

#3:6 fault (h-13)
 _Krima_ is the subject-matter of which a person had to be
 accused. They set up the _krima_ of the Lord on the cross; that
 for which he came into accusation -- the charge. So it is used
 here. The devil was puffed up with his own excellency, and
 abode not in the truth. Hence, in a strongly taken sense, our
 word 'crime.' See also Note on 1Cor. 11.29.

#3:8  (i-1)
#3:12 ministers (i-3)
 _Diakonos_, 'servants' or 'deacons:' see Rom. 16.1 and 1Cor.
 4.1.

#3:10 minister, (k-10)
#3:13 ministered (k-6)
 _Diakoneo_, to serve, as servants or deacons.

#3:14 quickly; (l-13)
 More quickly than the writing of the letter supposed; but in
 case he delayed he wrote. The verse refers to his fears of
 being delayed.

#3:16 to (a-23)
 Or 'has been seen of.'

#3:16 God (m-9)
 I do not enter on the criticism of this text. It very likely
 should read 'He who has,' &c.

#4:2  (b-1)
 Or, perhaps, 'through those who speak lies,' &c. Otherwise,
 as translated in text, the Spirit identifies the speaker and
 the evil spirit which speaks by him, as commonly in the New
 Testament, and passes from one to the other.

#4:3 know (c-23)
 Or 'acknowledge:' from the same root as 'knowledge' in ch.
 2.4.

#4:5 addressing (d-10)
 It means 'intercourse with a person,' then 'petitions and
 intercession;' one person speaking personally to another. (See
 Note, ch. 2.1, same Greek word.) The creature, fallen through
 Adam, belongs to the faithful, and those who know the truth, by
 God's speaking to them, and their freely speaking to him. This
 has set all on a new footing, because we have met God again,
 the word of God having put us into communication by grace. And
 the 'faithful, and those who know the truth,' have availed
 themselves of it, and come and enter into intercourse. It is no
 longer by nature, but by the word of God.

#4:6 minister (e-12)
 Or 'servant,' _diakonos_, as ch. 3.8.

#4:6 up. (f-33)
 Or 'been thoroughly acquainted with:' see Luke 1.3; 2Tim.
 3.10.

#4:8 little, (g-8)
 That is, 'some small thing,' rather than 'a little time.' It
 is in evident contrast with 'everything.'

#4:12 conduct, (h-17)
 Or 'conversation,' i.e. manner of life.

#4:13 reading, (i-7)
 Or 'reading out' (to others).

#4:14 of (k-4)
 See Note r, Heb. 2.3.

#4:15 them, (l-9)
 Compare Luke 2.49, 'be occupied in.'

#5:13 houses; (a-16)
 The word 'people's' is not in the original, but has been
 added to represent the article in the Greek. It means 'going
 from house to house.'

#5:14 respect (b-20)
 Or 'by reason of.' The sense is, the favour borne to
 anything; sometimes it is an object, sometimes a pleasing
 motive. The adversary found in the reproach a motive to
 exercise his hostility. As to 'adversary,' the habit of Paul
 is to speak thus of Satan directly when acting through men,
 because he knew the activity of the adversary, and the part he
 takes in such matters. To such an adversary reproach is a
 favoured, accepted motive.

#5:18 says, (c-4)
 See Deut. 25.4.

#5:18 hire. (d-22)
 See Luke 10.7.

#5:20 convict (e-4)
 Or 'reprove.' _Elenko_; to bring home a fault demonstratively
 to a man's conscience; 'to put to shame,' 'conquer,' 'rebuke,'
 but with conviction: see Note d, John 3.20.

#6:1 masters (f-12)
 _Despotes_: see Acts 4.24; 'serve,' ver. 2, is _douleuo_.

#6:2 masters, (f-6)
 _Despotes_: see Acts 4.24; 'serve,' ver. 2, is _douleuo_.

#6:2 faithful (a-28)
 Or 'believing,' the same as in the beginning of the verse.

#6:5 piety. (b-20)
 'Withdraw from such,' as A.V., omitted as having but little
 MS. authority.

#6:8 content (c-9)
 Or 'let us be satisfied.'

#6:9 desire (d-4)
 'Desire' includes the idea of purpose here.

#6:10 [the] (e-7)
 There is no article in the Greek. It is not that there is no
 other root, but the love of money is characterized by being
 such.

#6:12 faith. (f-8)
 Or 'combat of the faith.'

#6:12 hold (g-10)
 As 'seize,' Acts 16.19; 'caught hold,' Matt. 14.31.

#6:15 time (h-5)
 Lit. 'times,' as ch. 2.6.

#6:21 missed (i-8)
 'To miss the mark,' or 'not give heed to;' it is to fail in
 shooting, and metaphorically in one's purpose, or to have
 erred. See ch. 1.6 and 2Tim. 2.18.
