Context of 1 Timothy 1:14

12I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord who has strengthened me, because he considered me faithful, appointing me to the ministry — 13even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an arrogant man. But I received mercy because I acted out of ignorance in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” — and I am the worst of them. 16But I received mercy for this reason, so that in me, the worst of them, Christ Jesus might demonstrate his extraordinary patience as an example to those who would believe in him for eternal life.

Commentaries on 1 Timothy 1:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant - The original is very emphatic, that grace of our Lord, ̔, hath superabounded - it manifested itself in a way of extraordinary mercy. With faith and love - Not only pardoning such offenses, but leading me to the full experimental knowledge of Christianity; of that faith and love which are essential to it; and giving me authority to proclaim it to mankind.Read the comment

With faith and love which is in Christ Jesus - Accompanied with the exercise of faith and love; or producing faith and love.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-17Verses 12-17 The apostle knew that he would justly have perished, if the Lord had been extreme to mark what was amiss; and also if his grace and mercy had not been abundant to him when dead in sin, working faith and love to Christ in his heart. This is a faithful saying; these are true and faithful words, which may be depended on, That the Son of God came into the world, willingly and purposely to save sinners.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 12-17I thank Christ Jesus our Lord: This expression of thanks is a side note from Paul’s message to Timothy (1:3–11, 18–20). Paul’s role in proclaiming the good news about Jesus prompts gratitude and shows why he is thankful (1:11). It also serves as a model for readers. When discussing his work, Paul gives credit to God and makes it evident he is doing God's work (see also 2 Corinthians 1:21–22; 2:14–17; 3:4–6; 4:7; 12:9–10).Read the comment

Not only so (was mercy shown me), but the grace--by which "I obtained mercy" (1Ti 1:13). was exceeding abundant--Greek, "superabounded." Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Ro 5:20). with faith--accompanied with faith, the opposite of "unbelief" (1Ti 1:13). love--in contrast to "a blasphemer, persecutor, and injurious." which is in Christ--as its element and home [Alford]: here as its source whence it flows to us.Read the comment
