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 3:12

3:12 Deacons must be husbands of one wife ⁴  and good managers of their children and their own households.

[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.

[3:12]  ⁴ tn Or “men married only once,” “devoted solely to their wives” (see the note on “wife” in 1 Tim 3:2; also 1 Tim 5:9; Titus 1:6).
