#1:1 Christ (a-5)
Or 'Christ Jesus,' according to some authorities.
#1:3 serve (b-8)
_Latreuo_: see Matt. 4.10.
#1:5 mind (c-3)
Or, 'I am thankful ... calling to mind.'
#1:5 been] (d-9)
A verb is needed in English, and 'has been' is warranted by
the apostle's 'calling to mind.'
#1:6 rekindle (e-10)
'To revive, rekindle, what is drooping:' see Gen. 45.27. The
whole subject of the epistle is energy in the darkening state
of the assembly.
#1:7 discretion. (f-20)
A quiet, sound or sober mind.
#1:8 tidings, (g-23)
This personification of the gospel is very common with Paul.
#1:11 herald (h-8)
Or 'preacher,' as 1Tim. 2.7; 2Pet. 2.5.
#1:12 believed, (i-20)
_Pisteuo_, 'believe,' occurs in different constructions; with
the dative, as here, it means, 'to believe a person or thing;'
compare Matt. 21.25; John 5.24 and 47. Followed by _eis_ with
an accusative, as frequently in John, it is to believe on a
person as an object of faith, as John 14.1 ('ye believe on God,
believe also on me'). Followed by _epi_ with an accusative, it
goes on to the idea of confidence: I rest my faith on him, yet
with a more general idea of looking to him with this
confidence. It is only used thus six times, so far as I am
aware: Acts 9.42; 11.17; 16.31; 22.19; Rom. 4.5,24. Followed by
_epi_ with a dative, it is used only in Luke 24.25, and in the
three passages where Isa. 28.16 is quoted, Rom. 9.33; 10.11;
1Pet. 2.6, where it is confidence in, or reliance upon, a
person or thing. Followed by _en_ with a dative, it occurs more
seldom, and refers to believing in the truth of a thing,
receiving a statement as true, as Mark 1.15 ('believe in the
glad tidings').
#1:13 (a-1)
Or 'hold fast.' Timothy had heard no _form_ from Paul, but
_words_ or _doctrines_. Hence, he was to have a summary or
outline, so as to state clearly and definitely what he did
hold. I have added '[words],' because in English 'which' might
be thought to refer to outline. The Greek means a systematic
_expose_, in outline, of any system of doctrine or philosophy,
as 1Tim. 1.16, 'delineation.'
#2:2 of (b-12)
_Dia_: the state or circumstances in which a thing happened,
as Rom. 2.27.
#2:3 suffering (c-5)
See ch. 1.8.
#2:3 Christ. (d-12)
Or 'Christ Jesus,' according to some authorities.
#2:4 going (e-3)
Or 'serving.'
#2:6 labour (f-4)
It might be rendered, 'The labouring husbandman ought to be
the first to partake (as Heb. 6.7) of the fruits.' But the
sense is that he must work first in order to partake.
#2:10 endure (g-5)
#2:12 endure, (g-3)
'Endure' has a double sense in English: 'to last,' and 'to go
through suffering patiently.' Here it is the latter, as in Rom.
2.7; 8.25; Jas. 5.11.
#2:10 obtain (h-18)
Not in an active sense, but simply get it, not miss it.
#2:16 they (i-7)
i e. _those_ who speak thus.
#2:18 astray, (k-9)
Or 'missed the mark.' But this, though exact, is too
familiar; and 'missed the truth' has another sense: see Note,
1Tim. 6.21.
#2:19 (a-1)
The Greek word affirms with certainty where doubt may have
been raised. This overthrowing might seem to call in question
God's foundation. Yet that remains firm. Speculation as to what
the foundation is is futile, particularly that of those who
speak of the invisible church. The church is founded, a
building; not a foundation. It is simply God's foundation
abstractly.
#2:21 purified (b-6)
The word for 'purified' is only found here and 1Cor. 5.7,
'Purge out.' There it was to get rid of the old leaven out of
the lump; here the one who names the name of the Lord has to
purge himself from among the vessels. Hence we have an
additional preposition which is rendered by 'separating from.'
Lit. 'purified himself away from these.'
#2:21 Master, (c-26)
_Despotes_, as Acts 4.24.
#2:23 senseless (d-4)
Lit. 'foolish and undisciplined questionings;' in general a
mind not subject to God, a man following his own mind and will.
#2:24 teach; (e-18)
Some take this to mean 'teachable,' but it seems to be more
the spirit of the servant of the Lord.
#2:25 acknowledgment (f-17)
#3:7 knowledge (f-10)
Clear, full knowledge or acknowledgment, _epignosis_.
#2:26 *his* (g-20)
It is here a question whether it be God's will or Satan's;
whether 'for' (eis) refers to 'awake up' or 'taken captive:'
'awake up for his (God's) will out of the snare,' &c.; that
those who have been taken as prey by the devil may, God having
given them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, awake
up to follow his will. I rather prefer its application to God.
#3:2 ungrateful, (h-18)
Or 'ungracious.' Cf. Luke 6.35.
#3:3 good, (i-16)
Or 'the good' (persons).
#3:8 faith. (k-28)
Or 'as regards faith.'
#3:10 with (l-7)
Or 'hast followed up,' as 1Tim. 4.6.
#3:13 evil, (a-10)
Lit. 'to worse.'
#3:17 complete, (b-8)
_Artios_: 'complete as to qualifications.'
#4:1 by (c-17)
That is 'I testify or charge thee before God, and by the
appearing.' 'By' may be taken as 'according to,' that is, the
judgment is according to the power and glory of his appearing
and his kingdom. Some authorities read 'at.'
#4:2 convict, (d-12)
Or 'reprove.' See 1Tim. 5.20.
#4:4 turned (e-14)
Or 'will be turned aside,' or 'have turned themselves aside.'
Compare 1Tim. 1.6; 5.15. Here their being already turned aside
leads them to turn away their ear from the truth.
#4:5 sober (f-4)
This implies, not watching actively, nor being awake, but
that sober clearness of mind resulting from exemption from
false influences -- not muddled with the influence of what
intoxicates. So we think of one when we say, He has a sober
judgment.
#4:6 out, (g-7)
This is as Phil. 2.17.
#4:8 (h-1)
'Henceforth,' with the sense of 'This being finished, there
remains consequently.'
#4:11 ministry. (i-20)
_Diakonia_: see Note, 1Cor. 4.1.
#4:14 did (k-4)
Compare Gen. 50.15,17. Lit. 'showed me,' but we do not say
'show evil' in English, though we say 'show kindness,'
referring to acts, because they show what is in the heart.
#4:22 your (a-7)
Lit. 'thy spirit,' singular, but 'you' is plural.
