1 | How is "especially" to be understood ? | 1 Tim 4:10 | Terry Laudett | 190135 | ||
Thank you, BradK, for your help. Do you have any information on the other verses in which "especially" seems to be used in a similar way (5:8 and 5:17)? I appreciate your time and attention to my question. I had not noticed how Paul used this word in 1 Timothy until recently. | ||||||
2 | How is "especially" to be understood ? | 1 Tim 4:10 | BradK | 190138 | ||
Hi Terry, I'm glad to be of some help. Here's what Weust says on 5:17: "(5:17, 18) “Rule” is (proistemi), “to be over, to superintend, preside over.” “Honor” is (time), which Vincent says, “at least includes pecuniary remuneration for services, if it is not limited to that. The use of (time) as pay or price appears (Matt. 27:6, 9; Acts 4:34, 7:16; I Cor. 6:20).… The comparison is with those Elders who do not exhibit equal capacity or efficiency in ruling. The passage lends no support to the Reformed theory of two classes of Elders—ruling and teaching. The special honor or emolument is assigned to those who combine qualifications for both.” “Doctrine” is (didaskalia), “teaching.” Vincent says that “the special emphasis (especially) shows the importance which was attached to teaching as an antidote of heresy.” “Labor” is (kopiao), “to grow weary, tired, exhausted, to labor with wearisome effort, to toil." [Kenneth S. Wuest, Wuest's Word Studies from the Greek New Testament]; A.T. Robertson makes this comment: "Especially those who labour in word and teaching [malista hoi kopiontes en logoi kai didaskaliai]). Either those who work hard or toil (usual meaning of[kopiao], II Tim. 2:6) in preaching and teaching (most probable meaning. See verse 18) or those who teach and preach and not merely preside (a doubtful distinction in “elders” at this time). See Titus 1:8f. See both [kopiao] and[proistamai] used for same men (elders) in I Thess. 5:12 and the use of [kopiao] in I Cor. 15:10; 16:16. [A.T. Robertson, Word Pictures in the New Testament] BradK |
