1 Timotius 1:11

1:11 This ¹  accords with the glorious gospel of the blessed God ²  that was entrusted to me. ³ 

1 Timotius 1:20--2:1

1:20 Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan ⁴  to be taught not to blaspheme.

Prayer for All People

2:1 First of all, then, I urge that requests, ⁵  prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, ⁶ 

[1:11]  ¹ tn A continuation of the preceding idea: Grk “teaching, according to the gospel.” This use of the law is in accord with the gospel entrusted to Paul (cf. Rom 7:7-16; Gal 3:23-26). Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:11]  ² tn Grk “the gospel of the glory of the blessed God.”

[1:11]  ³ tn Grk “with which I was entrusted.” The translation is more in line with contemporary English style.

[1:20]  ⁴ sn The expression handed over to Satan refers to an act of discipline mentioned by Paul here and in 1 Cor 5:5, with a remedial goal, not a punitive one. The Greek word translated taught in this verse is used of “discipline, training of children” to lead them to correct behavior.

[2:1]  ⁵ tn Or “petitions.”

[2:1]  ⁶ tn Grk “all men”; but here ἀνθρώπων (anqrwpwn) is used generically, referring to both men and women.
