1 Timothy 1:2
_ _ my own son — literally, “a genuine son” (compare Acts 16:1; 1 Corinthians 4:14-17). See on Introduction.
_ _ mercy — added here, in addressing Timothy, to the ordinary salutation, “Grace unto you (Romans 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:3, etc.), and peace.” In Galatians 6:16, “peace and mercy” occur. There are many similarities of style between the Epistle to the Galatians and the Pastoral Epistles (see on Introduction); perhaps owing to his there, as here, having, as a leading object in writing, the correction of false teachers, especially as to the right and wrong use of the law (1 Timothy 1:9). If the earlier date be assigned to First Timothy, it will fall not long after, or before (according as the Epistle to the Galatians was written at Ephesus or at Corinth) the writing of the Epistle to the Galatians, which also would account for some similarity of style. “Mercy” is grace of a more tender kind, exercised towards the miserable, the experience of which in one’s own case especially fits for the Gospel MINISTRY. Compare as to Paul himself (1 Timothy 1:14, 1 Timothy 1:16; 1 Corinthians 7:25; 2 Corinthians 4:1; Hebrews 2:17) [Bengel]. He did not use “mercy” as to the churches, because “mercy” in all its fullness already existed towards them; but in the case of an individual minister, fresh measures of it were continually needed. “Grace” has reference to the sins of men; “mercy” to their misery. God extends His grace to men as they are guilty; His “mercy” to them as they are miserable [Trench].
_ _ Jesus Christ — The oldest manuscripts read the order, “Christ Jesus.” In the Pastoral Epistles “Christ” is often put before “Jesus,” to give prominence to the fact that the Messianic promises of the Old Testament, well known to Timothy (2 Timothy 3:15), were fulfilled in Jesus. |
1 Timothy 1:2
Grace, mercy, peace — St. Paul wishes grace and peace in his epistles to the churches. To Timotheus he adds mercy, the most tender grace towards those who stand in need of it. The experience of this prepares a man to be a minister of the gospel. |
1 Timothy 1:2
Unto Timothy, [my] own son in the faith: Grace, (a) mercy, [and] peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
(a) There is as much difference between mercy and grace, as is between the effect and the cause: for grace is that free good will of God, by which he chose us in Christ, and mercy is that free justification which follows it. |
- Timothy:
Acts 16:1-3 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father [was] a Greek: ... Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
1 Thessalonians 3:2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
|
- my:
1 Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
1 Corinthians 4:14-17 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn [you]. ... For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
Philippians 2:19-22 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. ... But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
2 Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, [my] dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

- Grace:
