Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Timothy 2:6

_ _ gave himself — (Titus 2:14). Not only the Father gave Him for us (John 3:16); but the Son gave Himself (Philippians 2:5-8).

_ _ ransom — properly of a captive slave. Man was the captive slave of Satan, sold under sin. He was unable to ransom himself, because absolute obedience is due to God, and therefore no act of ours can satisfy for the least offense. Leviticus 25:48 allowed one sold captive to be redeemed by one of his brethren. The Son of God, therefore, became man in order that, being made like unto us in all things, sin only excepted, as our elder brother He should redeem us (Matthew 20:28; Ephesians 1:7; 1 Peter 1:18, 1 Peter 1:19). The Greek implies not merely ransom, but a substituted or equivalent ransom: the Greek preposition, “anti,” implying reciprocity and vicarious substitution.

_ _ for allGreek, “in behalf of all”: not merely for a privileged few; compare 1 Timothy 2:1 : the argument for praying in behalf of all is given here.

_ _ to be testifiedGreek, “the testimony (that which was to be testified of, 1 John 5:8-11) in its own due times,” or seasons, that is, in the times appointed by God for its being testified of (1 Timothy 6:15; Titus 1:3). The oneness of the Mediator, involving the universality of redemption (which faith, however, alone appropriates), was the great subject of Christian testimony [Alford] (1 Corinthians 1:6; 1 Corinthians 2:1; 2 Thessalonians 1:10).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Timothy 2:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Timothy 2:6

Who gave himself a ransom for all — Such a ransom, the word signifies, wherein a like or equal is given; as an eye for an eye, or life for life: and this ransom, from the dignity of the person redeeming, was more than equivalent to all mankind. To be testified of in due season — Literally, in his own seasons; those chosen by his own wisdom.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Timothy 2:6

Who gave himself a ransom for all, (5) to be testified in due time.

(5) A confirmation, because even to the Gentiles is the secret of salvation now revealed and made manifest, the apostle himself being appointed for this office, which he faithfully and sincerely executes.
