1 Timotius 2:6
Konteks2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time. 1
1 Timotius 6:15
Konteks6:15 – whose appearing 2 the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time.
[2:6] 1 sn Revealing God’s purpose at his appointed time is a difficult expression without clear connection to the preceding, literally “a testimony at the proper time.” This may allude to testimony about Christ’s atoning work given by Paul and others (as v. 7 mentions). But it seems more likely to identify Christ’s death itself as a testimony to God’s gracious character (as vv. 3-4 describe). This testimony was planned from all eternity, but now has come to light at the time God intended, in the work of Christ. See 2 Tim 1:9-10; Titus 2:11-14; 3:4-7 for similar ideas.
[6:15] 2 tn Grk “which.” All of 1 Tim 6:15 is a relative clause which refers back to “appearing” in v.14. The phrase “whose appearing” was supplied to clarify this connection.
