1 Timothy 2:14

2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, because she was fully deceived, ¹  fell into transgression. ² 

1 Timothy 3:1

Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons

3:1 This saying ³  is trustworthy: “If someone aspires to the office of overseer, ⁴  he desires a good work.”

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 5:11

5:11 But do not accept younger widows on the list, ⁵  because their passions may lead them away from Christ ⁶  and they will desire to marry,

1 Timothy 6:19

6:19 In this way they will save up ⁷  a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation ⁸  for the future and so lay hold of ⁹  what is truly life.

¹ tn This phrase uses a compound form of the same verb as in v. 14a: “deceived” vs. “deceived out, completely deceived.” The two verbs could be synonymous, but because of the close contrast in this context, it seems that a stronger meaning is intended for the second verb.

² tn Grk “has come to be in transgression” (with an emphasis on the continuing consequences of that fall).

³ tn Grk “the saying,” referring to the following citation (see 1 Tim 1:15; 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11; Titus 3:8 for other occurrences of this phrase).

⁴ tn Grk “aspires to oversight.”

⁵ tn Grk “refuse younger widows.”

⁶ tn With a single verb and object, this clause means “pursue sensuous desires in opposition to Christ.”

⁷ tn Grk “saving up” (the continuation of 6:18). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started at the beginning of v. 19.

⁸ tn Grk “treasuring up a good foundation.”

⁹ tn Grk “that they may lay hold of.”
