Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Timothy 1:3

_ _ Timothy’s superintendence of the Church at Ephesus was as locum tenens for the apostle, and so was temporary. Thus, the office of superintending overseer, needed for a time at Ephesus or Crete, in the absence of the presiding apostle, subsequently became a permanent institution on the removal, by death, of the apostles who heretofore superintended the churches. The first title of these overseers seems to have been “angels” (Revelation 1:20).

_ _ As I besought thee to abide still — He meant to have added, “so I still beseech thee,” but does not complete the sentence until he does so virtually, not formally, at 1 Timothy 1:18.

_ _ at Ephesus — Paul, in Acts 20:25, declared to the Ephesian elders, “I know that ye all shall see my face no more.” If, then, as the balance of arguments seems to favor (see on Introduction), this Epistle was written subsequently to Paul’s first imprisonment, the apparent discrepancy between his prophecy and the event may be reconciled by considering that the terms of the former were not that he should never visit Ephesus again (which this verse implies he did), but that they all should “see his face no more.” I cannot think with Birks, that this verse is compatible with his theory, that Paul did not actually visit Ephesus, though in its immediate neighborhood (compare 1 Timothy 3:14; 1 Timothy 4:13). The corresponding conjunction to “as” is not given, the sentence not being completed till it is virtually so at 1 Timothy 1:18.

_ _ I besought — a mild word, instead of authoritative command, to Timothy, as a fellow helper.

_ _ some — The indefinite pronoun is slightly contemptuous as to them (Galatians 2:12; Jude 1:4), [Ellicott].

_ _ teach no other doctrine — than what I have taught (Galatians 1:6-9). His prophetic bodings some years before (Acts 20:29, Acts 20:30) were now being realized (compare 1 Timothy 6:3).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Timothy 1:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Timothy 1:3

Charge some to teach no other doctrine — Than I have taught. Let them put nothing in the place of it, add nothing to it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Timothy 1:3

(2) As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

(2) This whole epistle consists in admonitions, in which all the duties of a faithful pastor are plainly set out. And the first admonition is this, that no innovation is made either in the apostle's doctrine itself, or in the manner of teaching it.
