1 Timothy 1:11

1:11 This ¹  accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God ²  that was entrusted to me. ³ 

1 Timothy 1:20

1:20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan ⁴  to be taught not to blaspheme.

1 Timothy 3:10

3:10 And these also must be tested first and then let them serve as deacons if they are found blameless.

1 Timothy 6:18

6:18 Tell them to do good, ⁵  to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others. ⁶ 

¹ tn A continuation of the preceding idea: Grk “teaching, according to the gospel.” This use of the law is in accord with the gospel entrusted to Paul (cf. Rom 7:7-16; Gal 3:23-26). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “the gospel of the glory of the blessed God.”

³ tn Grk “with which I was entrusted.” The translation is more in line with contemporary English style.

⁴ sn The expression handed over to Satan refers to an act of discipline mentioned by Paul here and in 1 Cor 5:5, with a remedial goal, not a punitive one. The Greek word translated taught in this verse is used of “discipline, training of children” to lead them to correct behavior.

⁷ tn Grk “to do good” (the continuation of 6:17). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 18.

⁸ tn Grk “to be generous,” “sharing.”
