1 tn This phrase uses a compound form of the same verb as in v. 14a: “deceived” vs. “deceived out, completely deceived.” The two verbs could be synonymous, but because of the close contrast in this context, it seems that a stronger meaning is intended for the second verb.
2 tn Grk “has come to be in transgression” (with an emphasis on the continuing consequences of that fall).
3 tn Grk “these things.”
sn These instructions refer to the instructions about local church life, given in 1 Tim 2:1–3:13.
4 sn Those myths refer to legendary tales characteristic of the false teachers in Ephesus and Crete. See parallels in 1 Tim 1:4; 2 Tim 4:4; and Titus 1:14.
5 tn Grk “the godless and old-wifely myths.”
6 tn For “is dead even” the Greek text reads “has died.”
7 tn Grk “for the sake of your stomach.”
8 sn This verse gives parenthetical advice to Timothy, to clarify what it means to keep pure (5:22c). Verse 24 resumes the instructions about elders.
9 tn Grk “with these.”
