1 Timothy 2:7
_ _ Whereunto — For the giving of which testimony.
_ _ I am ordained — literally, “I was set”: the same Greek, as “putting me,” etc. (1 Timothy 1:12).
_ _ preacher — literally, “herald” (1 Corinthians 1:21; 1 Corinthians 9:27; 1 Corinthians 15:11; 2 Timothy 1:11; Titus 1:3). He recurs to himself, as in 1 Timothy 1:16, in himself a living pattern or announcement of the Gospel, so here “a herald and teacher of (it to) the Gentiles” (Galatians 2:9; Ephesians 3:1-12; Colossians 1:23). The universality of his commission is an appropriate assertion here, where he is arguing to prove that prayers are to be made “for all men” (1 Timothy 2:1).
_ _ I speak the truth ... and lie not — a strong asseveration of his universal commission, characteristic of the ardor of the apostle, exposed to frequent conflict (Romans 11:1; 2 Corinthians 11:13).
_ _ in faith and verity — rather, “in the faith and the truth.” The sphere in which his ministry was appointed to be exercised was the faith and the truth (1 Timothy 2:4): the Gospel truth, the subject matter of the faith [Wiesinger]. |
1 Timothy 2:7
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, [and] lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in (c) faith and verity.
(c) Faithfully and sincerely: and by faith he means wholesome and sound doctrine, and by truth, an upright and sincere handling of it. |

- a teacher:
John 7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Acts 22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
Acts 26:17-18 Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, ... To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Romans 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Galatians 1:16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we [should go] unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
|
- in faith:
Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
|
- verity:
Psalms 111:7 The works of his hands [are] verity and judgment; all his commandments [are] sure.
