1 Timothy 1:20

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

1 Timothy 1:2

1:2 to Timothy, my genuine child in the faith. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

1 Timothy 4:14

4:14 Do not neglect the spiritual gift you have, ²  given to you and confirmed by prophetic words ³  when the elders laid hands on you. ⁴ 

¹ 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.

² tn Grk “in you.”

³ tn Grk “which was given to you through prophecy.” Here as in 2:15 the preposition “through” denotes not “means” but accompanying circumstances: “accompanied by prophecy.”

⁴ tn Grk “with the imposition of the hands of the presbytery” (i.e., the council of elders).
