Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: 1Ti 2:5

¹ tn Traditionally this word (μεσίτης, mesith") is rendered “mediator,” but this conveys a wrong impression in contemporary English. Jesus was not a mediator, for example, who worked for compromise between opposing parties. Instead he was the only one able to go between man and God to enable them to have a relationship, but entirely on God’s terms.

² tn Grk “one mediator between God and mankind, the human, Christ Jesus.”
