1 tn The Greek reinforces this negation: “understand neither what they are saying nor the things they insist on…”
2 tn In Greek this continues the same sentence from v. 18, a participle showing the means by which Timothy will accomplish his task: Grk “fight the good fight, holding firmly…”
3 tn Grk “in you.”
4 tn Grk “which was given to you through prophecy.” Here as in 2:15 the preposition “through” denotes not “means” but accompanying circumstances: “accompanied by prophecy.”
sn These prophetic words perhaps spoke of what God would do through Timothy in his ministry (cf. 1 Tim 1:18).
5 tn Grk “with the imposition of the hands of the presbytery” (i.e., the council of elders).
6 tn Grk “refuse younger widows.”
7 tn With a single verb and object, this clause means “pursue sensuous desires in opposition to Christ.”
