1 Timothy 6:5
_ _ Perverse disputings — useless disputings. The oldest manuscripts read, “lasting contests” [Wiesinger]; “incessant collisions” [Alford]. “Strifes of words” had already been mentioned so that he would not be likely to repeat the same idea (as in the English Version reading) again.
_ _ corrupt minds — Greek, “of men corrupted (depraved) in mind.” The inmost source of the evil is in the perverted mind (1 Timothy 6:4; 2 Timothy 3:8; Titus 1:15).
_ _ destitute of the truth — (Titus 1:14). They had had the truth, but through want of moral integrity and of love of the truth, they were misled by a pretended deeper gnosis (knowledge) and higher ascetical holiness, of which they made a trade [Wiesinger].
_ _ supposing, etc. — The Greek requires, “supposing (regarding the matter in this point of view) that piety (so translated for ‘godliness’) is a means of gain (that is, a way of advancing one’s worldly interests: a different Greek form, poriswa, expresses the thing gained, gain)”; not “that gain is godliness,” as English Version.
_ _ from such withdraw thyself — omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The connection with 1 Timothy 6:6 favors the omission of these words, which interrupt the connection. |
