Commentaries on 1 Timothy 1:20
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 20Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander - Who had the faith but thrust it away; who had a good conscience through believing, but made shipwreck of it. Hence we find that all this was not only possible, but did actually take place, though some have endeavored to maintain the contrary; who, confounding eternity with a state of probation, have supposed that if a man once enter into the grace of God in this life, he must necessarily continue in it to all eternity…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 20Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander - Hymeneus is nowhere else mentioned in the New Testament, except in 2 Timothy 2:17, where he is mentioned in connection with Philetus as a very dangerous man. An Alexander is mentioned in Acts 19:33, which some have supposed to be the same as the one referred to here. It is not certain, however, that the same person is intended; see the notes on that verse. In 2 Timothy 4:14, Alexander the coppersmith is mentioned as one…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 18-20Verses 18-20 The ministry is a warfare against sin and Satan; carried on under the Lord Jesus, who is the Captain of our salvation. The good hopes others have had of us, should stir us up to duty. And let us be upright in our conduct in all things. The design of the highest censures in the primitive church, was, to prevent further sin, and to reclaim the sinner. May all who are tempted to put away a good conscience, and to abuse the gospel, remember that…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 20Hymenaeus and Alexander might have been leaders or elders in the church at Ephesus (see also 2 Timothy 2:17; 4:14; compare Acts 19:33; 20:29–31). The church was the area of the Holy Spirit's guidance. Paul allowed Hymenaeus and Alexander to be under Satan's influence (instead of the Holy Spirit's) by removing them from the church (see also 2 Timothy 2:25–26; Job 2:6; Matthew 18:17–20; 1 Corinthians 5:2–5; 2 Corinthians 2:5–11). Hymenaeus and Alexander…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2020. Hymenaeus--There is no difficulty in supposing him to be the Hymenæus of 2Ti 2:17. Though "delivered over to Satan" (the lord of all outside the Church, Ac 26:18, and the executor of wrath, when judicially allowed by God, on the disobedient, 1Co 5:5; 2Co 12:7), he probably was restored to the Church subsequently, and again troubled it. Paul, as an apostle, though distant at Rome pronounced the sentence to be executed at Ephesus, involving, probably…Read the comment
