Key Words - - Key Words -- see importance of key words - learn how to mark key words and the associated discipline of how
t o interrogate them with 5W/H questions. Practice "interrogating" key words as well as term of conclusion (therefore), term of
explanation (for), terms of purpose or result (so that, in order that, that, as a result), terms of contrast (but, yet), expressions of
time (including then; until, after) and terms of comparison (like, as). You will be amazed at how your Teacher, the Holy Spirit, will
illuminate your understanding, a spiritual blessing that will grow the more you practice! Be diligent! Consider the "5P's" - Pause

Commentaries), and then be a doer of the Word with Application. Do not overlook "doing the word" for if you do you are deluding
yourself, and are just a "smarter sinner," but not more like the Savior! As Jesus said "blessed are those who hear the word of God,
and observe it." (Lk 11:28+, cf James 1:22+)

Purpose of this Epistle: 1Ti 3:15 states “I write so that you may know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God,
which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.”
Philip Towner - A quick scan of these letters ("Pastoral Epistles") makes it clear that Paul’s central concern in writing was to give
instruction for confronting false teachers and restoring the stability of the churches. (IVP Commentary)
A C Gaebelein writes "The epistle therefore contains practical and important instructions on the order which is to be maintained in
the church, as the house of God… Pure doctrine, pure worship and a faithful ministry are the leading thoughts of this pastoral letter,
but he also enters into the godly conduct of the individuals which are in the church of the living God. Blessed instructions!"
John MacArthur - Interpretive Challenges in 1 Timothy There is disagreement over the identity of the false teachers (1:3) and
the genealogies (1:4) involved in their teaching. What it means to be “delivered to Satan” (1:20) has also been a source of debate.
The letter contains key passages in the debate over the extent of the atonement (2:4–6; 4:10). Paul’s teaching on the role of women
(2:9–15) has generated much discussion, particularly his declaration that they are not to assume leadership roles in the church
(2:11,12). How women can be saved by bearing children (2:15) has also confused many. Whether the fact that an elder must be “the
husband of one wife” excludes divorced or unmarried men has been disputed, as well as whether Paul refers to deacons’ wives or
deaconesses (3:11). Those who believe Christians can lose their salvation cite 4:1 as support for their view. There is a question
about the identity of the widows in 5:3–16—are they needy women ministered to by the church, or an order of older women
ministering to the church? Does “double honor” accorded to elders who rule well (5:17,18) refer to respect or money? These will all
be dealt with in their respective notes.

HENRY ALFORD
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
The New Testament for English Readers
(Read his fascinating brief biography - Henry Alford and Phil Johnson's related comments)
James Rosscup writes that Alford's series on the New Testament "contains much that is valuable in the Greek New
Testament...though all of the Greek New Testament words have been changed to English throughout." (Commentaries for Biblical
Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works).
Editorial Note: If you are not proficient in Greek, you will find this work considerably more useful than the following work by Alford,
because in this volume he translates the Greek and Latin into English. While the "The Greek New Testament" is longer (e.g., English
version of 1John = 66 pages compared to Greek version = 94 pages in part because the latter includes comments of more technical
nature), the substance of the commentary is otherwise similar to that found in the "NT for English Readers".

1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
101 page modern commentary. Conservative. Evangelical. Each section includes numerous excellent quotes
(including "Quotes for Reflection"), devotional thoughts and questions.
1 Timothy Local Church Primer: Proper Leadership & Conduct in the Household of God
Here is an example of the type of quotes on 1 Timothy 1 (and these are just representative samples from 1 Timothy 1:1-2)...
I. AUTHOR = PAUL
Ellicott: "didn't merely derive his commission from Christ, but belonged to Him."
B. His Authentication = "according to the commandment"
Wiersbe: "This word means 'a royal commission.' Both Paul and Timothy were sent by the King of kings!"
Campbell: "The word … is derived from two Greek words which literally mean to arrange upon or put an order upon. The noun
form used here suggests that God was the one who had arranged, ordered, and mandated that Paul should be an apostle."
Kent: "As the Father is the fountain of our salvation, so Christ is the embodiment of our hope. We are looking for Him to return
(Titus 2:13). In Him are all our expectations. Our basis for eternal life with all its glories lies in the fact of our union with Christ…"
Hendriksen: "'our Hope' -- the very foundation for our earnest yearning, our confident expectation, and our patient waiting for the
manifestation of salvation in all its fulness."
Campbell: "…'genuine', spiritually legitimate, and true child in the faith. This word speaks of one who is the opposite of being
illegitimate, spurious, or a phony."
Kent: "Mercy (eleos) is what Timothy and all believers need daily when conscious of failure."
Towner: "At the outset, Paul thus reminds Timothy that God's unearnable love and peace will overshadow his servant even in the
most difficult of circumstances."
DEVOTIONAL QUESTIONS:
1) Reflect on the loyalty that the original apostles had to their Master = the one who had called and
commissioned them and sent them out on such a perilous mission. How deep and intense is our loyalty to
Christ Jesus?
2) Do we have our Hope firmly fixed on the person of Christ and the expectation of His return? What tends to
distract us from focusing on our hope or discourage us?
3) Do we know of any false teachers who are illegitimate pretenders to a family relationship with Christ (in
contrast to the example of Timothy who is legit)?
4) Are we daily drawing upon God's resources of grace, mercy and peace which are intended for our benefit?
Towner: "At the core of the false teaching Timothy faced was an out-of-balance view of salvation: the heretics
proclaimed that the End had come and the resurrection had occurred… and the return of Christ was all but
forgotten. Here at the outset Paul begins to assert his balanced theology: this is the age of salvation, but
salvation's completion awaits the Second Coming of Christ, our hope."
Campbell: "Timothy was a genuine child in the sphere of the faith, in the sphere of that which was believed, or
in the sphere of a given body of truth and doctrine. In other words, Timothy was a genuine child in holding fast
to the truth which Paul had committed unto him (cf. 6:20; 2 Tim. 2:2), which is synonymous with the message
and Gospel of the Mystery (cf. Eph. 3:8-9; Rom. 16:25)."
Kent: "Timothy's task in Ephesus was the most difficult he had ever faced. He needed all the gifts of God's
grace. A tradition, recorded by Eusebius, says that Timothy was later beaten to death by a mob in Ephesus
because of his arraignment of the idolatrous immorality of the worship of Diana." (ED: See map of Ephesus at
time of Paul)
Hiebert: "This assertion, in the very salutation, of the writer's apostolic authority is indicative of the contents of
the letter. It is not simply a note of personal friendship. It is addressed to Timothy as the apostle's personal
representative at Ephesus. While addressed to him personally, the letter has an official character. It is intended
to certify to the churches with whom Timothy is dealing that the instructions it contains are authoritative and
that Timothy is authorized to act as the delegate of Paul himself."
ALBERT BARNES
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
James Rosscup writes that Barnes "includes 16 volumes on the Old Testament, 11 on the New Testament. The New Testament
part of this old work was first published in 1832–1851. Various authors contributed. It is evangelical and amillennial...Often the
explanations of verses are very worthwhile." (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)
C H Spurgeon "Albert Barnes is a learned and able divine, but his productions are unequal in value, the gospels are of
comparatively little worth, but his other comments are extremely useful for Sunday-school teachers and persons with a narrow range
of reading, endowed with enough good sense to discriminate between good and evil....Placed by the side of the great masters,
Barnes is a lesser light, but taking his work for what it is and professes to be, no minister can afford to be without it, and this is no
small praise for works which were only intended for Sunday-school teachers." (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4:
Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)

WILLIAM BARCLAY
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
Daily Study Bible
James Rosscup: This is a lucid and well-organized exposition of the epistles with many helpful lists on different facets of truth John
can have in mind at different points as on “light” and “darkness” in I John 1:5. There is stimulating background material and warm
application. (Commentaries for Biblical Expositors: An annotated bibliography of selected works).
D Edmond Hiebert - Prints the author's own translation. A series of popular studies whose strong point is word study. Contains
good illustrative material. Part of the author's interpretation follows a liberal position. Barclay holds that Christ's descent into Hades
gave those who there heard Him a second chance.
Comment: I appreciate Barclay's unique insights on Greek words, but clearly his teaching about a "second chance" is NOT sound
doctrine! Be an Acts 17:11 Berean with Barclay. See discussion of his orthodoxy especially the article "The Enigmatic William
Barclay".

JOHANN BENGEL

THE GNOMON
C H Spurgeon wrote that Bengel's NT commentary "is the Scholar's delight! Bengel condensed more matter into a line than can be
extracted from pages of other writers."

JOHANN BENGEL
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY SERMONS
The New Testament for English Readers
Spurgeon comments on the goal to make Bengel's Gnomon (listed above) more accessible -- "Such is the professed aim of this
commentary, and the compilers have very fairly carried out their intentions. The whole of Bengel’s Gnomon is bodily transferred
into the work, and as 120 years have elapsed since the first issue of that book, it may be supposed that much has since been added
to the wealth of Scripture exposition; the substance of this has been incorporated in brackets, so as to bring it down to the present
advanced state of knowledge. We strongly advise the purchase of this book, as it...will well repay an attentive perusal. Tischendorf
and Alford have contributed largely...to make this one of the most lucid and concise commentaries on the text and teachings
of the New Testament" (Spurgeon, C. H. Lectures to my Students, Vol. 4: Commenting and Commentaries; Lectures Addressed to
the students of the Pastors' College, Metropolitan Tabernacle)
F W Farrar writes that Bengel's "Gnomon is a mine of priceless gems. It contains sentence after sentence exquisitely terse and
finished, and throbbing with spiritual light. Few writers have so admirably succeeded in expressing in a few words the inmost
purpose of each of the Epistles. A generation crowded with writers whose theology abounded in mutual anathemas is yet redeemed
from the charge of sterility which has produced such a theologian as Bengel. His work must continue to have its value so long as
men can recognise the richest fruits of a noble intellect, a pure spirit, and a blameless life. "Lord Jesus, unto Thee I live, unto Thee I
suffer, unto Thee I die; Thine I am, living or dying." These words were repeated to him in his last moments, and on hearing them he
pointed with his right hand to his heart, and fell asleep in peace." (Amen!) (History of Interpretation: Eight Lectures Preached Before
the University of Oxford in the Year 1885).
John Wesley said of Bengel "I know of no commentator on the Bible equal to Bengel" and referred to him as "The great light of the
Christian world."

JOHN CALVIN
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
James Rosscup - Calvin was not only a great theologian but also a great expositor, and his insight into Scripture contributed to his
grasp of doctrinal truth. His commentaries are deep in spiritual understanding, usually helpful on problem passages, and refreshing
in a devotional sense to the really interested reader. He usually offers good help on a passage. The present work skips Judges,
Ruth, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, II and III John and Revelation.
Calvin is amillennial on long-range prophecy, but in other respects usually has very contributive perception on passages and
doctrinal values edifying to the believer. He also can be very wordy, but the serious and patient glean much.
Cyril Barber - he messages were taken down in shorthand and were later translated by a person who signed himself "L.T"
Spurgeon highly esteemed these messages, and they are now available again in the same format as that which graced the homes
of Puritan laypeople three hundred years ago. Their richness and relevance will amply repay the time spent mastering their contents.
This is a worthy reprint, beautifully bound, and printed on fine paper. Recommended

Sample Illustration on 1 Timothy 4:5 - A mom had invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her six-year-old
daughter and said, “Would you like to say the blessing?” I wouldn’t know what to say,” she replied. “Just say what you hear
Mommy say,” the mom said. The daughter bowed her head and said: “Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to
dinner?
1 Timothy 4:12-16
Sample Illustration on 1 Timothy 4:15 - In Hampton Court near London, there is a grapevine under glass; it is about 1,000
years old and has but one root which is at least two feet thick. Some of the branches are 200 feet long. Because of skillful
cutting and pruning, the vine produces several tons of grapes each year. It may be old, but it still grows and still bears fruit.
1 Timothy 5:1-16
Sample Illustration on 1 Timothy 5:1-16 -When a butterfly or moth is struggling to get out of its chrysalis, it’s important that
it’s allowed to struggle. If your child is doing a science project and watching the chrysalis, it’s important that you don’t try to
help the creature out by cutting the cocoon, thinking you’d make it easier for the butterfly. The butterfly needs to squeeze out
the fluid that’s inside of the wings, and if it doesn’t have the tiny hold in the cocoon to squeeze it out of, it won’t be able to fly.
Parents face the same issue when it comes to raising their kids. Your kids need to learn to know the pain of falling down every
once in a while. They need to know the pain of failure if they are going to learn to push through and grow. Sometimes our
helping others isn’t really helping at all. Sometimes we are enabling others to end up getting themselves into trouble.
1 Timothy 5:17-25
1 Timothy 6
Sample Illustration on 1 Timothy 6:2 - The boss was complaining in the staff meeting the other day that he wasn’t getting
any respect. Later that morning he went to a local sign shop and bought a small sign that read, “I’m the Boss”. He then taped it
to his office door. Later that day when he returned from lunch, he found that someone had taped a note to the sign that said.
“Your wife called, she wants her sign back!”
Sample Illustration on 1 Timothy 6:2 - An ambitious, young executive is working late at corporate headquarters one
evening. As he comes out of his office about 8:00 PM he sees the Big Boss standing by the shredder in the hallway, a piece of
paper in his hand. “Do you know how to work this thing?” the older man asks “My secretary’s gone home and I don’t know how
to run it.” “Yes, sir,” says the young executive, who efficiently turns on the machine, takes the paper from the other man, and
feeds it in. “Great,” says his boss, “I just need the one copy...”
Sample Illustration on 1 Timothy 6:10 - Discouragement comes when you try to start with what you wish you had but don't
have. And it intensifies when you insist on trying to be in a position you are not in and probably never will be in.-- Stuart

Click for brief critique of Clarke
James Rosscup - This old, conservative Wesleyan Methodist work is good devotionally and aggressive for righteous living.
Laypeople can find it still valuable today. It is Arminian in viewpoint and thus helpful, for example, in showing the reader how this
approach deals with texts involving the eternal security question. The work contains much background material from many sources
on all books of the Bible.

PATRICK FAIRBAIRN
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
Spurgeon's assessment of Fairbairn's pastoral epistles: "What with a good translation, full defense of the Apostolic authorship
of the Epistles, fruitful comments, and profitable dissertations, this volume is about as complete a guide to the smaller epistles
as one could desire." (From Spurgeon's Commenting on Commentaries - Pastoral Epistles) (Fairbairn is amillennial)
John Cereghin - What a good translation, full defense of the apostolic authorship of the epistles, fruitful comments and profitable
dissertations, this volume is as complete a guide to the smaller epistles as one could desire. his old, standard treatment shows how
pastors may use the Greek text to aid their exposition. A fine work in spite of its age.
D Edmond Hiebert - Uses the Greek text of Tischendorf and the author's translation on facing pages. A voluminous (nearly 450
pages) exposition by a conservative Scottish theologian. Still worth consulting but devoid of the results of recent scholarship.
Cyril Barber - A particularly appropriate reprint in light of the fact that so many men are leaving the ministry on account of its
unusual pressures. Fairbairn provides a delightful example of exegesis aiding the exposition of the text.

Annotated Bible
James Rosscup - This dispensationally oriented work is not verse-by-verse, but deals with the exposition on a broader scale,
treating blocks of thought within the chapters. Cf. also Arno C. Gaebelein, Gaebelein’s Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible (I
Volume, Neptune, NJ: Loizeaux, 1985), the Annotated Bible revised. The author was a popular evangelical Bible teacher of the first
part of the century, much like H. A. Ironside in his diligent but broad, practical expositions of Bible books. Gaebelein was
premillennial and dispensational, and editor for many years of Our Hope Magazine.

JOHN GILL
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
James Rosscup - Gill (1697–1771), a pastor of England, wrote these which are two-column pages, ca. 900–1,000 pages per
volume, Originally they were 9 volumes, folio. He also wrote Body of Divinity, 3 volumes, and several other volumes. His
commentary is evangelical, wrestles with texts, is often wordy and not to the point but with worthy things for the patient who follow
the ponderous detail and fish out slowly what his interpretation of a text is. He feels the thousand years in Revelation 20 cannot
begin until after the conversion of the Jews and the bringing in of the fullness of the Gentiles and destruction of all antiChristian
powers (volume 6, p. 1063) but in an amillennial sense of new heavens and new earth coming right after Christ’s second advent
(1064–65), and the literal thousand years of binding at the same time. He feels the group that gathers against the holy city at the
end of the thousand years is the resurrected wicked dead from the four quarters of the earth (i.e. from all the earth, etc. (1067).
Spurgeon - Beyond all controversy, Gill was one of the most able Hebraists of his day, and in other matters no mean
proficient...His ultraism is discarded, but his learning is respected: the world and the church take leave to question his dogmatism,
but they both bow before his erudition. Probably no man since Gill’s days has at all equalled him in the matter of Rabbinical learning.
He preached in the same church as C. H. Spurgeon over one hundred years earlier. Yet most people today have never heard of
John Gill. This is unfortunate, since his works contain priceless gems of information that are found nowhere except in the ancient
writings of the Jews.

MATTHEW HENRY
1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
Spurgeon - A Christian man wishing for the cream of expository writers could not make a better purchase. Ministers, as a rule,
should not buy condensations, but get the works themselves.
James Rosscup - This evangelical work, devotional in character, has been in constant demand for about 280 years. Its insight into
human problems is great, but it often does not deal adequately with problems in the text. The one-volume form eliminates the
Biblical text and is thus less bulky. It has sold very well. The late Wilbur M. Smith, internationally noted Bible teacher, seminary
professor and lover of books, tabbed this “The greatest devotional commentary ever written”. Henry was born in a Welch farmhouse,
studied law, and became a Presbyterian minister near London. He wrote this commentary in the last 13 years before he died at 52 in
1714. The first of six volumes was published in 1708. He completed through Acts, and the rest of the New Testament was done
by 14 clergymen. (Ed: Thus James are not the comments of Matthew Henry).

1 TIMOTHY COMMENTARY
Philip H. Towner
James Rosscup - Favoring authorship by Paul (30–32), Towner provides a succinct, lucid commentary that sometimes explains
verses or parts of them, sometimes ignores things (as “especially those who believe,” 4:10; “save both yourself and your hearers,”
4:16; or 2 Tim. 4:8, where the words do not really resolve Towner’s idea that a faithful life is necessary for receiving a crown, final
righteousness, with this being of grace and not earned). Overall, the work seems below average, a mixture of being of some help
and of little help, this depending on which verse. It will be of mediocre benefit only to those wanting a cursory, yet easily flowing
guide. It grew out of Towner’s Ph. D. dissertation under I. Howard Marshall at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, but does not
approach Marshall’s usual kind of serious explanation.

Rosscup - This is a helpful old set of 1863 for laypeople and pastors to have because it usually comments at least to some degree
on problems. Though terse, it provides something good on almost any passage, phrase by phrase and is to some degree critical in
nature. It is evangelical. There is also a 1-volume edition, briefer at some points (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1961). Especially in its
multi-volume form this is one of the old evangelical works that offers fairly solid though brief help on many verses. Spurgeon said, “It
contains so great a variety of information that if a man had no other exposition he would find himself at no great loss if he possessed
this and used it diligently” (Commenting and Commentaries, p. 3). Things have changed greatly since this assessment! It is primarily
of help to pastors and lay people looking for quick, though usually somewhat knowledgeable treatments on verses.
Spurgeon - A really standard work. We consult it continually, and with growing interest. Mr. Fausset’s portion strikes us as being of
the highest order.
My Comment - This is one of the best older (Pre-1800) works on interpretation of prophecy as it tends to interpret the text literally
and not allegorically.

Cyril Barber - This "first century message to twentieth century pastors" is a work of rare merit, and we welcome its reappearance.
Liddon structures the text and intersperses his comments between the structured lines. Interesting but somewhat difficult to follow.
There is also a considerable amount of Greek so a working knowledge of Greek would be necessary to derive the most value from
this work.

JOHN MACARTHUR
1 TIMOTHY SERMONS
Cyril Barber (commenting on MacArthur's printed commentary which is similar to his sermons) - This homiletic exposition ranks as
one of the best on Paul’s letter to Titus. It is thorough, practical, and vitally related to the needs of both people and the church.
Pastors as well as lay people will appreciate the writer’s insights. Recommended. (The Minister's Library - Volume 3)
James Rosscup - One of the world’s most widely-known pastors gives articulate and rather detailed, basic expositions of verses
with arresting illustrations. He deals with word meaning, flow of context, background, and sometimes mentions other views. The
works are especially profitable for pastors, students, and lay readers aroused to read about main expositional issues and to grow.

ALEXANDER MACLAREN
1 TIMOTHY SERMONS
James Rosscup - This evangelical work is both homiletical and expository and is often very good homiletically but weaker
otherwise. Helpful in discussing Bible characters, it is weak in prophecy at times because of allegorization. It is not really as valuable
today as many other sets for the serious Bible student. The expositions are in the form of sermons.

D Edmond Hiebert - Greek text. A full exegetical treatment of these epistles by an evangelical German scholar of the past century

CYRIL BARBER - from "The Minister's Library - Volume 2" and "The Minister's Library - Volume 3"
*Bernard, John Henry. The Pastoral Epistles. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1980. First published in the Cambridge Greek
Testament series in 1899, this exegetical study is preceded by a lengthy introduction. A critical edition of the Greek text follows
and then a word-byword or phrase-by-phrase exposition of the text. Excellent.
Caird, George Bradford. Paul's Letters from Prison. New Clarendon Bible. London: Oxford University Press, 1976. One of the
better works in this series. Of value for its exegetical insights.
*Calvin, John. Sermons on the Epistles of Timothy and Titus. Edinburgh, U.K./Carlisle, Pa.: Banner of Truth Trust, 1983. First
published in 1579, this facsimile edition consisting of 1,248 pages of exposition and application contains the great Reformer's
messages delivered before the congregation of the Cathedral of St. Peter, Geneva. The messages were taken down in
shorthand and were later translated by a person who signed himself "L.T" Spurgeon highly esteemed these messages, and
they are now available again in the same format as that which graced the homes of Puritan laypeople three hundred years
ago. Their richness and relevance will amply repay the time spent mastering their contents. This is a worthy reprint, beautifully
bound, and printed on fine paper. Recommended
*Clark, Gordon Haddon. The Pastoral Epistles. Jefferson, Md.: Trinity Foundation, 1983. Uses these epistles to address some
of the complex problems facing the church today. Provides an informative exposition, and deftly applies the truth of what Paul
taught to the needs of believers. Favors the Reformed tradition.
Dibelius, Martin, and Hans Conzelmann. The Pastoral Epistles. Translated by P Buttolph and A. Yarbro. Edited by H. Koester.
Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1972. A commentary built on the premise that these epistles are unauthentic and that a form-
critical approach is indispensable to exegesis and a proper understanding of their meaning. The handling of the text is
thorough and exacting. The work, however, does not give evidence of having any of those features that a pastor will find
helpful as he prepares his messages.
Fairbaim, Patrick. The Pastoral Epistles. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1980. A particularly appropriate
reprint in light of the fact that so many men are leaving the ministry on account of its unusual pressures. Fairbairn provides a
delightful example of exegesis aiding the exposition of the text.
Fee, Gordon D. First and Second Timothy, Titus. Revised ed. New International Commentary on the New Testament.
Peabody, ME: Hendricksen Publishers, 1988. Based on the NIV, this verse-by-verse commentary succeeds in highlighting the
most important elements of these epistles. Conservative and non-technical. Ideal for lay Bible study.
Fernando, Ajith. Leadership Lifestyle: A Study of 1 Timothy. Wheaton, Ill.: Tyndale House Publishers, 1985. Drawing heavily
on other authors for his information on leadership, Fernando deals solely with the English text of 1 Timothy. The result is a
work of interest but one that lacks depth and fails to provide the reader with anything of lasting significance.
*Gromacki, Robert Glenn. Stand True to the Charge: An Exposition of I Timothy. Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1982. A
fine treatment of Paul's message to a young pastor. Describes the essence of the ministry with guidelines for the
establishment of local churches.
Guthrie, Donald. The Pastoral Epistles: An Introduction and Commentary. Revised ed. Tyndale New Testament
Commentaries. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1990. First published in 1957, this excellent lay-level
commentary has already proven its worth many times over. Now in its revised format it will continue to enrich the lives of those
who read it. Recommended.
Hanson, Anthony Tyrell. The Pastoral Epistles. New Century Bible Commentary. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
Co., 1982. This totally new work is not to be confused with Hanson's Studies in the Pastoral Epistles (1968). His comments
are incisive and worthy of serious consideration.
Houlden, J. L. The Pastoral Epistles: 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus. Penguin New Testament Commentaries. London: Penguin Books,
1975. (Exceedingly brief. This well-written but biased interpretation attempts to establish a nonPauline authorship for these
letters. Its redeeming feature lies in its exegetical insights. In other matters, however, it is unreliable.
Hughes, R. Kent, and Bryan Chapell. 1 & 2 Timothy and Titus. Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2000. The authors include personal
anecdotes in these commentaries, and this gives their work a downto-earth quality. They adhere to the text and are not afraid
to champion interpretations (e.g., of 1 Timothy 2:11-12) that are unpopular in today’s milieu. Anyone teaching or preaching on
these “pastoral” epistles will find considerable help in these pages.
Johnson, Luke Timothy. First Timothy, Second Timothy, Titus. Knox Preaching Guides. Atlanta: John Knox Press, 1987.
Begins with the reasons for the neglect of the Pastorals, but ignores the effect those who have denied their Pauline authorship
has had on others. Provides new ideas on the values inherent in these canonical works.
*Kent, Homer Austin, Jr. The Pastoral Epistles: Studies in 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. Rev ed. Chicago: Moody Press, 1982.
This exemplary study has stood the test of time. Now, in this new, revised edition, Kent's commentary should continue to enjoy
wide-spread acceptance.
Knight, George William, III. The Pastoral Epistles: A Commentary on the Greek Text. Grand Rapids: Wm. B. Eerdmans
Publishing Co., 1992. Whatever Knight writes about is deserving of our serious consideration. In this full-scale commentary on
the Greek text Knight pays careful attention to the comments of previous interpreters, both ancient and modern, before offering
his own detailed explanation of the meaning of Paul’s words. For the benefit of preachers, he makes available the meanings
and interrelationships of Greek words, and then identifies Paul’s probable intent behind his usage of a specific word or phrase.
Included is the background of each letter, the personalities and circumstances of the recipients, and the kind of data that
preachers will find useful as they apply the text
Lea, Thomas D., and Hayne P. Griffin, Jr. 1, 2 Timothy, Titus. New American Commentary. Nashville: Broadman Press,
1992. Written in a readable style, this volume aims at explaining the doctrinal teaching of each letter. The introductions are
helpful and defend Paul’s authorship. Outlines and summaries will be welcomed by pastors.
*Liddon, Henry Parry. Explanatory Analysis of St. Paul's First Epistle to Timothy. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian
Publishers, 1978. This "first century message to twentieth century pastors" is a work of rare merit, and we welcome its
reappearance.
MacArthur, John F., Jr. First Timothy. MacArthur New Testament Commentary. Chicago: Moody Press, 1995. This, the first of
MacArthur’s commentaries on the Pastoral Epistles, makes available to readers a wealth of information about the local church,
its organization and outreach. The author is conservative in his handling of the Biblical text, adheres to the Pauline authorship,
and dates 1 Timothy about A.D. 63-64. Recommended.
Marshall, I. Howard. The Pastoral Epistles. International Critical Commentary. Edinburgh: Clark, 1999. As always Marshall
provides an excellent discussion of these letters, though he hedges the issue of Paul’s authorship. The treatment of Greek
words and syntax places this work among the best ever written on these canonical books. Marshall brings together a vast
amount of material, and preachers will find his discussion of different topics helpful.
Mounce, William D. Pastoral Epistles. Word Biblical Commentary. Nashville: Nelson, 2000. Defends the Pauline authorship,
but adopts a vacillating approach to passages dealing with gender roles. Some disturbing elements are to be noted in
Mounce’s presentation, for example his statement that “there is no salvation apart from discipleship” (p. 434). This is a very full
work and the judicious reader has much to gain from it.
Oden, Thomas C. First and Second Timothy. Interpretation, a Biblical Commentary for Teaching and Preaching. Louisville, KY:
John Knox Press, 1989. Defends the Pauline authorship as well as two Roman imprisonments for the apostle Paul. Provides
the kind of comments on the text that preachers will find most helpful.
Quinn, Jerome D., and William C. Wacker. The First and Second Letters to Timothy: A New Translation with Notes and
Commentary. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2000. The inaugural volume of the new Eerdmans Critical Commentary series. Gives
a fresh, readable translation and commentary that shows how the apostle Paul’s teaching—whether addressing the problems
of church leadership, the roles of women in the church, the use of wealth, false doctrine, worship, and ethics--is relevant to
church life today
Ramsay, William Mitchell. Historical Commentary on the Pastoral Epistles. Edited by Mark Wilson. Grand Rapids: Kregel
Publications, 1996. First published in The Expositor, 1909-1911. F. F. Bruce wrote of Ramsay’s studies: “My debt to the
writings of Sir William Ramsay [is great]. I am repeatedly amazed by scholars of a later date who seem unaware of the
contributions of particular value which he made to certain areas of New Testament study.” Crammed with valuable insights into
the culture and geography of the first century A.D., this is a volume that pastors should turn to repeatedly.
*Rowland, Alfred. Studies in First Timothy. Minneapolis: Klock & Klock Christian Publishers, 1985. "We may say it is a work of
no ordinary value, and Christians will find it a rich feast. It is needless, of course, to say that [this study] is a work of a scholar;
it is also the work of a wholehearted believer and its design was intended for the use of all who love the Lord in simplicity and
truth" (The English Churchman).
Stott, John Robert Walmsey. Guard the Truth: The Message of 1 Timothy and Titus. Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity, 1996.
Stott contends that the “true apostolic succession is a continuity not of order but of doctrine, namely the teaching of the
apostles handed on from generation to generation.” In this companion volume to Guard the Gospel Stott places before his
readers the fruit of his study of the NT and diligent labor. Each section is well outlined with numerous summaries in the
paragraphs. Highly recommended.

D Edmond Hiebert - Greek text. The introductions provide a satisfactory study of the problems connected with
the Pastorals from a conservative viewpoint. The exegetical notes on the text of the epistles are thorough,
thoughtful, and scholarly.
Cyril Barber - This....1886 commentary from the Cambridge Greek Testament series readily interacts with
critical issues raised by the publication of the NT texts of Tischendorf and Tregelles. Plummer then treats
these letters in a most commendable way, providing some unique insights into the thought of the apostle and
the nuances of the original text. (The Minister's Library, Volume 2)
James Rosscup writes "Though old, this is a good study from the Greek text which will be helpful in any more
advanced study of the epistles. There are other works more highly recommended, however." (Commentaries
for Biblical Expositors: An Annotated Bibliography of Selected Works)

and informative notes on the text; valuable appendixes.
D Edmond Hiebert - Greek text. Lock leans to the conservative view but makes no pronouncements on the
vexing critical problems. The notes on the Greek text are rather thin. Not up to the high standard of this series.

John Cereghin - . Popular expositions. He urges the joy of soulwinning (14); stressses the enabling power of
God (34); teaches unlimited redemption in Christ (55); emphasizes that only God can qualify men for the
ministry (73); attacks Theosophy, Seventh Day Adventism, Christian Science (103); warns against the "social
gospel" (111): holds that the Sermon on the Mount is for all believers (139); warns against evolution (155).
James Rosscup - He is staunchly evangelical, showing good broad surveys based on diligent study, practical
turns, even choice illustrations. In prophecy he is premillennial dispensational....Many preachers have found
that Ironside works, read along with heavier books on details of exegesis, help them see the sweep of the
message and prime their spirits for practical relevance.

D Edmond Hiebert - Oosterzee, J. J. Van, "The Pastoral Letters," J. P. Lange's Commentary on the Holy
Scriptures. Translated from the German. (1863). The abundant material is in three sections: exegetical and
critical; doctrinal and ethical; homiletical and practical. A full evangelical treatment by a Dutch Reformed
minister and theologian of the past century.
James Rosscup - The treatments of books within this evangelical set vary in importance. Generally, one finds
a wealth of detailed commentary, background, and some critical and exegetical notes. Often, however, there is
much excess verbiage that does not help particularly. On the other hand, it usually has something to assist the
expositor on problems and is a good general set for pastors and serious lay people though it is old.

OCTAVIUS WINSLOW
The salvation of man is an embodiment of God Himself. The essence, the heart, the mind, the attributes, the character, the
government of God, are all embarked, embodied, and exhibited in the salvation of man. It is a work so surpassingly
stupendous, glorious, and divine, we can account for its vast and unique character, and its transcendent results, upon no other
principle than its essential demonstration of Deity-"God manifest in the flesh." To mix, then, anything extraneous with this great
and finished work, to add to it anything of human device, would seem a crime of deepest dye-a sin, the pardon of which might
well extend beyond the provision of its mercy. God has, at every point, with a jealous regard for His own glory, exhibited and
protected this great truth. Over the cross beneath which as a sinner I stand-inscribed upon the portal of the refuge into which
as a sinner I flee-above the fountain within which as a sinner I bathe-upon every object on which as a sinner I believingly
gaze, God has written one sentence-solemn, pregnant, and emphatic-"Jesus only!"
Jesus alone could stoop to our low estate. He only could stand between justice and the criminal-the Day's-man between God
and us. He only had divinity enough, and merit enough, and holiness enough, and strength enough, and love enough to
undertake and perfect our redemption. None other could embark in the mighty enterprise of saving lost man but Him. To no
other hand but His did the Father from eternity commit His church-His peculiar treasure. To Jesus only could be entrusted the
recovery and the keeping of this cabinet of precious jewels-jewels lost and scattered, and hidden in the fall, yet predestinated
to a rescue and a glory great and endless as God's own being. Jesus only could bear our sin, and sustain our curse, endure
our penalty, cancel our debt, and reconcile us unto God. In His bosom only could the elements of our hell find a flame of love
sufficient to extinguish them; and by His merit only could the glories of our heaven stand before our eye palpable and
revealed. Jesus must wholly save, or the sinner must forever perish. Listen to the language of Peter, uttered when "filled with
the Holy Spirit," and addressed with burning zeal to the Christ-rejecting Sanhedrin: "This is the stone which was set at nothing
of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name
under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Thus, in the great and momentous matter of our salvation,
Jesus must be all.

1 Timothy 4:15
True Heart Energy - “Meditate upon these things, give thyself wholly tothem; that thy profiting may appear to all.”
THIS is, practically, a promise that, by diligent meditation and the giving up of our whole mind to our work for the Lord, we shall make
a progress which all can see. Not by hasty reading, but by deep meditation, we profit by the Word of God. Not by doing a great deal
of work in a slovenly manner, but by giving our best thought to what we attempt, we shall get real profit. “In all labor there is profit,”
but not in fuss and hurry without true heart energy.
If we divide ourselves between God and mammon, or Christ and self, we shall make no progress. We must give ourselves wholly to
holy things, or else we shall be poor traders in heavenly business; and at our stock-taking, no profit will be shown.
Am I a minister? Let me be a minister wholly, and not spend my energies upon secondary concerns. What have I to do with party
politics, or vain amusements? Am I a Christian? Let me make my service of Jesus my occupation, my lifework, my one pursuit. We
must be in-and-in with Jesus, and then out-and-out for Jesus, or else we shall make neither progress nor profit, and neither the
church nor the world will feel that forceful influence which the Lord would have us exercise.
