2 Timothy 2:26
_ _ recover themselves — Greek, “awake to soberness,” namely from the spiritual intoxication whereby they have fallen into the snare of the devil.
_ _ the snare — (Ephesians 6:11, “the wiles of the devil”: 1 Timothy 3:7; 1 Timothy 6:9).
_ _ taken captive by him at his will — so as to follow the will of “THAT” (the Greek emphatically marks Satan thus) foe. However, different Greek pronouns stand for “him” and “his”; and the Greek for “taken captive” means not “captured for destruction,” but “for being saved alive,” as in Luke 5:10, “Thou shalt catch men to save them unto life”; also there is no article before the Greek participle, which the English Version “who are taken captive,” would require. Therefore, translate, “That they may awake ... taken as saved (and willing) captives by him (the servant of the Lord, 2 Timothy 2:24), so as to follow the will of HIM (the Lord, 2 Timothy 2:24, or “God,” 2 Timothy 2:25).” There are here two evils, the “snare” and sleep, from which they are delivered: and two goods to which they are translated, awaking and deliverance. Instead of Satan’s thrall comes the free and willing captivity of obedience to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). It is God who goes before, giving repentance (2 Timothy 2:25); then the work of His servant following is sure to be crowned with success, leading the convert henceforth to “live to the will of God” (Acts 22:14; 1 Peter 4:2). |
