Context of 1 Timothy 6:14

12Fight the good fight of faith! Take hold of the eternal life—you were called to it, and you made the good confession for it in the presence of many witnesses. 13I charge you before God who gives life to all things and Messiah Yeshua who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 15This He will reveal in His own time—the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, 16who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or is able to see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

Commentaries on 1 Timothy 6:14

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 14That thou keep this commandment without spot - Two things are mentioned here: That the commandment itself - the whole doctrine of Christ, should be kept entire. That his life should be agreeable to that doctrine. Keep it without spot - let there be no blot on the sacred book; add nothing to it; take nothing from it; change nothing in it. Deliver down to thy successors the truth as thou hast had it from God himself. Unrebukable - Let there be nothing in…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14That thou keep this commandment - Referring particularly to the solemn injunction which he had just given him, to “fight the good fight of faith,” but perhaps also including all that he had enjoined on him. Without spot - It seems harsh, and is unusual, to apply the epithet, “without spot” - ̓́ aspilos- to a command or doctrine, and the passage may be so construed that this may be understood as referring to Timothy himself - “That thou keep the…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-16Verses 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…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ: The letters to Timothy and Titus describe Christ's comings, both past and future, as “epiphanies” or “appearances” (2 Timothy 1:10; Titus 2:11; 2 Timothy 4:1, 8; Titus 2:13). An epiphany is a divine intervention at a specific historical moment. The church exists between these past and future appearances of Christ. Christ’s first saving epiphany allowed for a new life. His future epiphany will bring final…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1414. keep this commandment--Greek, "the commandment," that is, the Gospel rule of life (1Ti 1:5; Joh 13:34; 2Pe 2:21; 3:2). without spot, unrebukeable--agreeing with "thou." Keep the commandment and so be without spot," &c. "Pure" (1Ti 5:22; Ep 5:27; Jas 1:27; 2Pe 3:14). until the appearing of ... Christ--His coming in person (2Th 2:8; Tit 2:13).
