1 Timothy 6:11
_ _ But thou — in contrast to the “some” (1 Timothy 6:10).
_ _ man of God — who hast God as thy true riches (Genesis 15:1; Psalms 16:5; Lamentations 3:24). Applying primarily to Timothy as a minister (compare 2 Peter 1:21), just as the term was used of Moses (Deuteronomy 33:1), Samuel (1 Samuel 9:6), Elijah, and Elisha; but, as the exhortation is as to duties incumbent also on all Christians, the term applies secondarily to him (so 2 Timothy 3:17) as a Christian man born of God (James 1:18; 1 John 5:1), no longer a man of the world raised above earthly things; therefore, God’s property, not his own, bought with a price, and so having parted with all right in himself: Christ’s work is to be his great work: he is to be Christ’s living representative.
_ _ flee these things — namely, “the love of money” with its evil results (1 Timothy 6:9, 1 Timothy 6:10).
_ _ follow after righteousness — (2 Timothy 2:22).
_ _ godliness — “piety.” Righteousness is more in relation to our fellow man; piety (“godliness”) to God”; faith is the root of both (see on Titus 2:12).
_ _ love — by which “faith worketh.”
_ _ patience — enduring perseverance amidst trials.
_ _ meekness — The oldest manuscripts read, “meek-spiritedness,” namely, towards the opponents of the Gospel. |
1 Timothy 6:11
But thou, O man of God — Whatever all the world else do. A man of God is either a prophet, a messenger of God, or a man devoted to God; a man of another world. Flee — As from a serpent, instead of coveting these things. Follow after righteousness — The whole image of God; though sometimes this word is used, not in the general, but in the particular, acceptation, meaning only that single branch of it which is termed justice. Faith — Which is also taken here in the general and full sense; namely, a divine, supernatural sight of God, chiefly in respect of his mercy in Christ. This faith is the foundation of righteousness, the support of godliness, the root of every grace of the Spirit. Love — This St. Paul intermixes with everything that is good: he, as it were, penetrates whatever he treats of with love, the glorious spring of all inward and outward holiness. |
1 Timothy 6:11
(9) But thou, O (e) man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
(9) A peculiar exhortation to various virtues, with which it appropriate for the pastors especially to be furnished.
(e) Whom the Spirit of God rules. |
