2 Timothy 2:25
_ _ instructing — Greek, “disciplining,” instructing with correction, which those who deal in “uninstructive” or “undisciplined questions” need (see on 2 Timothy 2:23; see on 1 Timothy 1:20).
_ _ those that oppose themselves — Greek, “oppositely affected”; those of a different opinion.
_ _ if ... peradventure — Greek, “if at any time.”
_ _ repentance — which they need as antecedent to the full knowledge (so the Greek for ‘acknowledgment’) of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4), their minds being corrupted (2 Timothy 3:8), and their lives immoral. The cause of the spiritual ignorance which prompts such “questions” is moral, having its seat in the will, not in the intellect (John 7:17). Therefore repentance is their first need. That, not man, but God alone can “give” (Acts 5:31). |
2 Timothy 2:25
In meekness — He has often need of zeal, always of meekness. If haply God — For it is wholly his work. May give them repentance — The acknowledging of the truth would then quickly follow. |
2 Timothy 2:25
In meekness instructing those that (k) oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
(k) He means those who do not yet see the truth. |
