1 Timothy 6:14-15

Context
6:14 to obey 1  this command 2  without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ 6:15 – whose appearing 3  the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time.

1 tn The Greek word τηρέω (threw, traditionally translated “keep”) in this context connotes preservation of and devotion to an object as well as obedience.

2 tn Grk “the command.”

sn The command refers to the duties laid upon Timothy for his ministry in Ephesus (1 Tim 1:3-20; 6:2c-5).

3 tn Grk “which.” All of 1 Tim 6:15 is a relative clause which refers back to “appearing” in v.14. The phrase “whose appearing” was supplied to clarify this connection.
