1 Timothy 3:6

3:6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant ¹  and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact. ² 

1 Timothy 5:20

5:20 Those guilty of sin ³  must be rebuked ⁴  before all, ⁵  as a warning to the rest. ⁶ 

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.

[3:6]  ¹ tn Grk “that he may not become arrogant.”

[3:6]  ² tn Grk “the judgment of the devil,” which could also mean “the judgment that the devil incurred.” But see 1 Tim 1:20 for examples of the danger Paul seems to have in mind.

[5:20]  ³ sn As a continuation of v. 19, this refers to elders who sin, not to sinning believers more generally.

[5:20]  ⁴ tn Or “censured.” The Greek word implies exposing someone’s sin in order to bring correction.

[5:20]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Grk “that the rest may have fear.”

[6:19]  ⁵ 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.

[6:19]  ⁶ tn Grk “treasuring up a good foundation.”

[6:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “that they may lay hold of.”
