15 which God will bring about in his own time-God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
15 which he will display at the proper time--he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
15 He'll show up right on time, his arrival guaranteed by the Blessed and Undisputed Ruler, High King, High God.
15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords,
15 For, At just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords.
3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
3 and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by the command of God our Savior;
3 And then when the time was ripe, he went public with his truth. I've been entrusted to proclaim this Message by order of our Savior, God himself.
3 but has in due time manifested His word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;
3 And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.
(Read Titus 1:1-4)
All are the servants of God who are not slaves of sin and Satan. All gospel truth is according to godliness, teaching the fear of God. The intent of the gospel is to raise up hope as well as faith; to take off the mind and heart from the world, and to raise them to heaven and the things above. How excellent then is the gospel, which was the matter of Divine promise so early, and what thanks are due for our privileges! Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God; and whoso is appointed and called, must preach the word. Grace is the free favour of God, and acceptance with him. Mercy, the fruits of the favour, in the pardon of sin, and freedom from all miseries both here and hereafter. And peace is the effect and fruit of mercy. Peace with God through Christ who is our Peace, and with the creatures and ourselves. Grace is the fountain of all blessings. Mercy, and peace, and all good, spring out of this.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:15
Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:11-16
(Read 1 Timothy 6:11-16)
It ill becomes any men, but especially men of God, to set their hearts upon the things of this world; men of God should be taken up with the things of God. There must be a conflict with corruption, and temptations, and the powers of darkness. Eternal life is the crown proposed for our encouragement. We are called to lay hold thereon. To the rich must especially be pointed out their dangers and duties, as to the proper use of wealth. But who can give such a charge, that is not himself above the love of things that wealth can buy? The appearing of Christ is certain, but it is not for us to know the time. Mortal eyes cannot bear the brightness of the Divine glory. None can approach him except as he is made known unto sinners in and by Christ. The Godhead is here adored without distinction of Persons, as all these things are properly spoken, whether of the Father, the Son, or the Holy Ghost. God is revealed to us, only in and through the human nature of Christ, as the only begotten Son of the Father.
