Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Timothy 1:19

_ _ Holding — Keeping hold of “faith” and “good conscience” (1 Timothy 1:5); not “putting the latter away” as “some.” Faith is like a very precious liquor; a good conscience is the clean, pure glass that contains it [Bengel]. The loss of good conscience entails the shipwreck of faith. Consciousness of sin (unrepented of and forgiven) kills the germ of faith in man [Wiesinger].

_ _ whichGreek singular, namely, “good conscience,” not “faith” also; however, the result of putting away good conscience is, one loses faith also.

_ _ put away — a willful act. They thrust it from them as a troublesome monitor. It reluctantly withdraws, extruded by force, when its owner is tired of its importunity, and is resolved to retain his sin at the cost of losing it. One cannot be on friendly terms with it and with sin at one and the same time.

_ _ made shipwreck — “with respect to THE faith.” Faith is the vessel in which they had professedly embarked, of which “good conscience” is the anchor. The ancient Church often used this image, comparing the course of faith to navigation. The Greek does not imply that one having once had faith makes shipwreck of it, but that they who put away good conscience “make shipwreck with respect to THE faith.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Timothy 1:19

Holding fast faith — Which is as a most precious liquor. And a good conscience — Which is as a clean glass. Which — Namely, a good conscience. Some having thrust away — It goes away unwillingly it always says, "Do not hurt me." And they who retain this do not make shipwreck of their faith. Indeed, none can make shipwreck of faith who never had it. These, therefore, were once true believers: yet they fell not only foully, but finally; for ships once wrecked cannot be afterwards saved.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Timothy 1:19

Holding (m) faith, and a good conscience; (16) which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

(m) Wholesome and sound doctrine.

(16) Whoever does not keep a good conscience, loses also by little and little, the gift of understanding. And this he proves by two most lamentable examples.
