1 Timotius 6:14

6:14 to obey ⁸  this command ⁹  without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ

[1:14]  ¹ tn Grk “with faith and love in Christ Jesus.”

[2:5]  ² tn Traditionally this word (μεσίτης, mesith") is rendered “mediator,” but this conveys a wrong impression in contemporary English. Jesus was not a mediator, for example, who worked for compromise between opposing parties. Instead he was the only one able to go between man and God to enable them to have a relationship, but entirely on God’s terms.

[2:5]  ³ tn Grk “one mediator between God and mankind, the human, Christ Jesus.”

[5:20]  ⁴ sn As a continuation of v. 19, this refers to elders who sin, not to sinning believers more generally.

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

[5:20]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Grk “that the rest may have fear.”

[6:14]  ⁸ tn The Greek word τηρέω (threw, traditionally translated “keep”) in this context connotes preservation of and devotion to an object as well as obedience.

[6:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “the command.”

[6:14]  sn The command refers to the duties laid upon Timothy for his ministry in Ephesus (1 Tim 1:3-20; 6:2c-5).
