1 Timothy 2:4
_ _ “Imitate God.” Since He wishes that all should be saved, do you also wish it; and if you wish it, pray for it. For prayer is the instrument of effecting such things [Chrysostom]. Paul does not say, “He wishes to save all”; for then he would have saved all in matter of fact; but “will have all men to be saved,” implies the possibility of man’s accepting it (through God’s prevenient grace) or rejecting it (through man’s own perversity). Our prayers ought to include all, as God’s grace included all.
_ _ to come — They are not forced.
_ _ unto the knowledge — Greek, “the full knowledge” or “recognition” (See on 1 Corinthians 13:12; Philippians 1:9).
_ _ the truth — the saving truth as it is in, and by, Jesus (John 17:3, John 17:17). |
1 Timothy 2:4
Who willeth seriously all men — Not a part only, much less the smallest part. To be saved — Eternally. This is treated of, 1 Timothy 2:5-6. And, in order thereto, to come — They are not compelled. To the knowledge of the truth — Which brings salvation. This is treated of, 1 Timothy 2:6-7. |
