Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| These truths, to the exclusion of those useless and even injurious teachings (Ti1 4:1-8), while weighing well thyself, charge also upon others. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| These things command and teach - As important doctrines, and as embracing the sum of the Christian system. It follows from this, that a minister of the gospel is solemnly bound to teach that there is a sense in which God is the Saviour of all people. He is just as much bound to teach this, as he is that only those will be saved who believe. It is a glorious truth - and it is a thing for which a man should unceasingly give thanks to God that he may go and proclaim that He has provided salvation for all, and is willing that all should come and live. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| These things command and teach - Let it be the sum and substance of thy preaching, that true religion is profitable for both worlds; that vice destroys both body and soul; that Christ tasted death for every man; and that he saves to the uttermost all them that believe in his name. |
1 Now [1161] the Spirit [4151] speaketh [3004] expressly [4490], that [3754] in [1722] the latter [5306] times [2540] some [5100] shall depart from [868] the faith [4102], giving heed [4337] to seducing [4108] spirits [4151], and [2532] doctrines [1319] of devils [1140];
2 Speaking lies [5573] in [1722] hypocrisy [5272]; having [2743] their [2398] conscience [4893] seared with a hot iron [2743];
3 Forbidding [2967] to marry [1060], and commanding to abstain from [567] meats [1033], which [3739] God [2316] hath created [2936] to [1519] be received [3336] with [3326] thanksgiving [2169] of them which believe [4103] and [2532] know [1921] the truth [225].
4 For [3754] every [3956] creature [2938] of God [2316] is good [2570], and [2532] nothing [3762] to be refused [579], if it be received [2983] with [3326] thanksgiving [2169]:
5 For [1063] it is sanctified [37] by [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316] and [2532] prayer [1783].
6 If thou put [5294] the brethren [80] in remembrance [5294] of these things [5023], thou shalt be [2071] a good [2570] minister [1249] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], nourished up [1789] in the words [3056] of faith [4102] and [2532] of good [2570] doctrine [1319], whereunto [3739] thou hast attained [3877].
7 But [1161] refuse [3868] profane [952] and [2532] old wives [1126]' fables [3454], and [1161] exercise [1128] thyself [4572] rather unto [4314] godliness [2150].
8 For [1063] bodily [4984] exercise [1129] profiteth [2076] little [4314] [3641]: but [1161] godliness [2150] is [2076] profitable unto [4314] all things [3956], having [2192] promise [1860] of the life [2222] that now is [3568], and [2532] of that which is to come [3195].
