1 Timotius 2:5

2:5 For there is one God and one intermediary ¹  between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human, ² 

1 Timotius 4:15

4:15 Take pains with these things; be absorbed in them, so that everyone will see your progress. ³ 

[2:5]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “one mediator between God and mankind, the human, Christ Jesus.”

[4:15]  ³ tn Grk “that your progress may be evident to all.”
