1 Timóteo 1
William MacDonald has a third consideration - It is difficult to decide how this verse is connected with what has gone before. It may mean that the sound doctrine mentioned in verse 10 is according to the … gospel. Or it may mean that all that Paul has been saying about the law in verses 8–10 is in perfect agreement with the gospel which he preached. Or again, it may mean that all that Paul has been saying about false teachers in verses 3–10 is in accord with the gospel message. (Believer's Bible Commentary) S Lewis Johnson on according to the glorious Gospel- He’s saying, for this is added to everything that proceeds in this little paragraph. He’s saying that everything that I have said is according to the gospel that was given me by divine revelation. That’s what he’s saying. He’s saying, “Everything that I have told you has come from God. It’s according to the gospel of the glory of God, which was committed to my trust.” And incidentally, do you notice that it was the gospel of the blessed God. He says the gospel tells us of God’s glory. It tells us of his power, of his majesty, of his compassion in the person and work of Jesus Christ. What does the Law tell us? Why, the Law tells us of man’s sinfulness. But the gospel tells us of the remedy in the compassion and saving ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hiebert on glorious Gospel - It means the Gospel which manifests the glory of God, since it is the highest revelation of His nature and attributes. It sets forth and proclaims God’s glory....Paul was keenly conscious that his position as a commissioned messenger of the Gospel was not due to any personal merit or choice; it was a divine trust to him. This concluding reference to that fact is appropriate in a passage where he is opposing his own teaching to that of the false teachers and vouches for its wholesomeness. (First Timothy- Everyman's Bible Commentary) Steven Cole on glorious Gospel - Literally “according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, ...” God’s glory is the splendor of His attributes. The gospel reveals God’s glory--His love, righteousness, mercy, grace, wisdom, and power. God is described as “the blessed God” (1Ti 6:15 is the only other time this phrase occurs in the Bible). This does not refer to men blessing God, but rather to the fact that God is in and of Himself blessed (or truly happy). He is perfect in Himself. The source of all true happiness and joy is found in God through the gospel. Marvin

William MacDonald - Truths to Live By Daily Devotional “Holding faith, and a good conscience.” (1Ti 1:19) The conscience is a monitoring mechanism which God has given to man to approve right conduct and to protest against what is wrong. When Adam and Eve sinned, their consciences condemned them and they knew they were naked. Like all other parts of man’s nature, the conscience was affected by the entrance of sin so that it is not always completely reliable. The old maxim “Let your conscience be your guide” is not an invariable rule. However, even in the most depraved, the conscience still flashes its red and green signals. At the time of conversion a person’s conscience is purged from dead works by the blood of Christ (Heb. 9:14). This means that he no longer depends on his own works to give him a favorable standing before God. His heart is sprinkled from an evil conscience (Heb. 10:22) because he knows that the sin question has been settled once for all by the work of Christ. Conscience does not condemn him any more as far as the guilt and condemnation of sin are concerned. Henceforth the believer desires to have a conscience void of offense toward God and man (Acts 24:16). He desires to have a good conscience (1 Tim. 1:5,19; Heb. 13:18; 1 Pet. 3:16). And he desires to have a pure conscience (1 Tim. 3:9). The believer’s conscience needs to be educated by the Spirit of God through the Word of God. In this way he develops an increasing sensitivity toward questionable areas of Christian conduct. Believers who are excessively scrupulous over matters that are not right or wrong in themselves have a weak conscience. If they go ahead and do something that their conscience condemns, they sin (Rom. 14:23) and defile their conscience (1 Cor. 8:7). The conscience is something like an elastic band. The more it is stretched, the more it loses its elasticity. Also the conscience can be stifled. A man can so rationalize his wrong behavior that he can make the conscience say anything he wants it to say. Unbelievers can have a seared conscience (1 Tim. 4:2), as if cauterized by a hot iron. By the continual rejection of the voice of conscience, they finally reach the stage where they are past feelings. It no longer hurts them to sin (Eph. 4:19). God holds men responsible for what they do with their consciences. No divinely-given faculty can be abused with impunity. Caught By The Current Some have strayed from the faith. — 1 Timothy 6:10 Today's Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:1-20 In the early part of this century, a ship was wrecked off the Scilly Isles near the coast of England. The sea had been calm and the weather clear, but the vessel was caught in a treacherous current that slowly lured it off its course. Before the captain and the crew realized what had happened, the ship had crashed onto the rocks. In life too, powerful currents of compromise can catch the soul and carry it to shipwreck. Spiritual drifting is usually a slow and imperceptible process. (ED: READ THAT AGAIN DEAR BROTHER OR SISTER!) We know it has occurred (ED: OR IS IN PROCESS OF OCCURRING!) when we have lost the strong resistance to evil and the passionate desire for truth that we once knew. The apostle Paul wanted to make sure this wouldn’t happen to those to whom Timothy ministered. He encouraged him to be faithful in telling others what they needed to know, so they wouldn’t stray from their devotion to Christ and cause their faith to be shipwrecked. In our day, for every professing believer who succumbs to a sudden and savage assault of evil, a hundred more slowly drift away from God’s truth, regular worship, and a life of faith. (ED: IF THEY ARE PROFESSING BELIEVERS" THE QUESTION ARISES WERE THEY TRULY POSSESSING BELIEVERS, GENUINE BELIEVERS? THIS IS A FRIGHTENING THOUGHT! JESUS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THE ONE WHO ENDURES TO THE END SHALL BE SAVED." Mt 24:13+, cf Heb 3:6+, Heb 3:14+ - see Perseverance of the Saints) Lord, help us from Your blessed Word All error to discern, And by Your Spirit's truth and light From Satan's snares to turn. —Bosch The compass of God's Word will keep you from spiritual shipwreck. A Winning Combination . . . having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck. —1 Timothy 1:19 Today's Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:18-20 A new believer slipped into his old ways by attending a party and getting drunk. When he arrived home, his wife would not let him in. Instead, she called their pastor, who found the man sleeping in his car. The pastor took him to a motel to sleep off his drunkenness. He knew him well and was confident that a strong rebuke would not be needed. Instead, he asked God to convict the man and bring him to repentance. In this case the pastor chose the right course. The young man later said that he had learned a valuable lesson through this experience and that the Lord had “taken all the fun out of sin.” A “good conscience” will disturb us when we do something we know is wrong. We keep it “good” by heeding it and turning away from sin. Paul said the faith of Hymenaeus and Alexander “suffered shipwreck” because they rejected the voice of their good conscience (1 Timothy 1:19-20). By doing so, they had deadened their conscience and then apparently twisted the truth to justify their conduct. Our conscience is a gift from God, It is a guiding light; And when aligned with faith and truth, It tells us wrong from right. —Sper Conscience is a safe guide when guided by God's Word. 1 Timothy 1:20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

Matthew 18:17 “If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:17; and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds. 1 Corinthians 11:32 But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world. Revelation 3:19 ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent. FALSE TEACHERS CALLED OUT BY NAME Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over (paradidomi) to Satan (satanas) - Among these (the "some" of 1Ti 1:18) Paul names two, the word "among" indicating there were others. Presumably these two were "leaders of the pack" (of wolves - Acts 20:29+) so to speak. Hymenaeus is probably the same as the false teacher in 2Ti 2:17-18 ("gone astray from the truth"), and if so the effect of giving him over to Satan resulted in him acting more like Satan (Jn 8:44 = "there is no truth in him")! Regarding Alexander, since this name was so common, we cannot definitively identify him with either the Alexander in 2Ti 4:14 or the one in Acts 19:33+. First their faith suffered shipwreck and then Satan was allowed to wreak havoc! The interpretation of handed over to Satan is difficult. Clearly, these men were removed from the church (ex-communicated) and were given over to the authority and power of Satan. How Paul accomplished this discipline is not clear. The same phrase is used in 1Cor 5:5+ where Paul stated " I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." Notice there is a difference in results - in 1Ti 1:20 they would be taught not to blaspheme, but in 1Cor 5:5+ the hoped for result was that his spirit might be saved.
