1 Timothy 4:13
_ _ Till I come — when Timothy’s commission would be superseded for the time by the presence of the apostle himself (1 Timothy 1:3; 1 Timothy 3:14).
_ _ reading — especially in the public congregation. The practice of reading Scripture was transferred from the Jewish synagogue to the Christian Church (Luke 4:16-20; Acts 13:15; Acts 15:21; 2 Corinthians 3:14). The New Testament Gospel and Epistles being recognized as inspired by those who had the gift of discerning spirits, were from the first, according as they were written, read along with the Old Testament in the Church (1 Thessalonians 5:21, 1 Thessalonians 5:27; Colossians 4:16), [Justin Martyr, Apology, 1.67]. I think that while public reading is the prominent thought, the Spirit intended also to teach that Scripture reading in private should be “the fountain of all wisdom from which pastors ought to draw whatever they bring before their flock” [Alford].
_ _ exhortation — addressed to the feelings and will with a view to the regulation of the conduct.
_ _ doctrine — Greek (ministerial), “teaching” or instruction. Addressed to the understanding, so as to impart knowledge (1 Timothy 6:2; Romans 12:7, Romans 12:8). Whether in public or private, exhortation and instruction should be based on Scripture reading. |
1 Timothy 4:13
Give thyself to reading — Both publicly and privately. Enthusiasts, observe this! Expect no end without the means. |
1 Timothy 4:13
(15) Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
(15) The private exercise of pastors, is the continual reading of the scriptures, from which they may draw water out of wholesome doctrine and exhortation, both for themselves and for others. |

1 Timothy 3:14-15 These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: ... But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
