1 Timothy 2:5

Context
2:5 For there is one God and one intermediary 1  between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, himself human, 2 

1 tn Traditionally this word (μεσίτης, mesith") is rendered “mediator,” but this conveys a wrong impression in contemporary English. Jesus was not a mediator, for example, who worked for compromise between opposing parties. Instead he was the only one able to go between man and God to enable them to have a relationship, but entirely on God’s terms.

2 tn Grk “one mediator between God and mankind, the human, Christ Jesus.”
