[1:19]  ¹ tn In Greek this continues the same sentence from v. 18, a participle showing the means by which Timothy will accomplish his task: Grk “fight the good fight, holding firmly…”

[2:3]  ² tn Grk “this”; the referent (such prayer for all, referring to vv. 1-2) is specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:4]  ³ tn Grk “who wants…” (but showing why such prayer is pleasing to God).

[2:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “all men”; but here ἀνθρώπους (anqrwpous) is used generically, referring to both men and women.

[2:14]  ⁴ 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.

[2:14]  ⁵ tn Grk “has come to be in transgression” (with an emphasis on the continuing consequences of that fall).

[3:12]  ⁵ tn Or “men married only once,” “devoted solely to their wives” (see the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 5:9; Titus 1:6).

[4:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “nothing.”

[4:7]  ⁷ sn Those myths refer to legendary tales characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus and Crete. See parallels in 1 Tim 1:4; 2 Tim 4:4; and Titus 1:14.

[4:7]  ⁸ tn Grk “the godless and old-wifely myths.”

[5:20]  ⁸ sn As a continuation of v. 19, this refers to elders who sin, not to sinning believers more generally.

[5:20]  ⁹ tn Or “censured.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

[5:20]  ¹⁰ tn “Before all” probably refers to the whole congregation, not just all the elders; “the rest” is more likely to denote the remaining elders.

[5:20]  ¹¹ tn Grk “that the rest may have fear.”
