Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Timothy 1:6

_ _ From which — namely, from a pure heart, good conscience, and faith unfeigned, the well-spring of love.

_ _ having swerved — literally, “having missed the mark (the ‘end’) to be aimed at.” It is translated, “erred,” 1 Timothy 6:21; 2 Timothy 2:18. Instead of aiming at and attaining the graces above named, they “have turned aside (1 Timothy 5:15; 2 Timothy 4:4; Hebrews 12:13) unto vain jangling”; literally, “vain talk,” about the law and genealogies of angels (1 Timothy 1:7; Titus 3:9; Titus 1:10); 1 Timothy 6:20, “vain babblings and oppositions.” It is the greatest vanity when divine things are not truthfully discussed (Romans 1:21) [Bengel].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Timothy 1:5-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Timothy 1:6

From which — Love and a good conscience. Some are turned aside — An affectation of high and extensive knowledge sets a man at the greatest distance from faith, and all sense of divine things. To vain jangling — And of all vanities, none are more vain than dry, empty disputes on the things of God.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Timothy 1:6

(5) From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

(5) That which he spoke before generally of vain and curious controversies, he applies to those who, pretending a zeal of the Law, dwelled upon outward things, and never made an end of babbling of foolish trifles.
