insubordinate (v.10) = cannot be subjected to control \u2014 the same word used of children in verse 6<\/span><\/a> (1 Timothy 1:9<\/span><\/strong><\/a>)<\/h3>\n

idle talkers (v.10) = ones who utter empty, senseless things \u2014 devoid of force, truth, success, result<\/h3>\n

deceivers (v.10) = mind deceivers<\/h3>\n

especially (v.10) \u2014 the deceivers may not all have been Judaizers, but most of them, and certainly the most destructive among them, were<\/h3>\n

those of the circumcision (v.10) \u2014 Judaizers<\/h3>\n

The persons spoke of here were Christian Jews … that they were at least nominally Christians is also implied by the epithet “unruly” [insubordinate]. We cannot call those persons unruly on whose obedience we have no claim. \u2014 Wuest, page 186<\/span><\/h3>\n

Those of “the circumcision,” at least many of them, were doubtless present at Pentecost, where some are mentioned as having come from Crete (Acts 2:5, 11<\/span><\/a>), but it appears that upon their return to Crete they had not even continued faithfully in the doctrine of the twelve, but had reverted to apostate Judaism with its Talmud and all its civil and religious laws \u2014 laws which seemed to excel even the Ten Commandments in righteousness, but which in reality condemned many practices which were wholly right and pure (v.14<\/span><\/a>: cf., Matthew 15:1-8<\/a><\/span>). \u2014 Stam, pages 253-254.<\/span><\/h3>\n

mouths must be stopped (v.11) = bridled<\/h3>\n

“To stop the mouth” is epistomizo<\/em>, originally “to put something into the mouth,” as a bit into a horse’s mouth. The noun form is used of the “stop” of a waterpipe. The verb used metaphorically means “to reduce to silence.” [So] … “whom it is necessary to silence.” \u2014 Wuest, page 186.<\/span><\/h3>\n

subvert (v.11) = overthrow, overturn, destroy \u2014 used in John 2:15<\/a><\/span> of overthrowing tables, in 2 Timothy 2:18<\/a><\/span> of overthrowing the faith<\/h3>\n

households (v.11) = families<\/h3>\n

for the sake of dishonest gain (v.11) \u2014 Itinerants or vagrants who claimed to be prophets or apostles made claims for financial support.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
