SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:11
conforme al Evangelio de la gloria del Dios bienaventurado, el cual a mí me ha sido encargado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:11
Verse 11. According to the glorious Gospel] The sound doctrine mentioned above, which is here called euaggelion thv doxhv tou makariou qeou, the Gospel of the glory of the blessed or happy God - a dispensation which exhibits the glory of all his attributes; and, by saving man in such a way as is consistent with the glory of all the Divine perfections, while it brings peace and good will among men, brings glory to God in the highest. Sin has dishonoured God, and robbed him of his glory; the Gospel provides for the total destruction of sin, even in this world, and thus brings back to God his glory.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. According to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God , etc.] For no doctrine is sound, but what is agreeable to that: this is a very great encomium of the Gospel. The doctrine preached by the apostles was not only Gospel, or good news, and glad tidings, but the Gospel of God; of which he is the author, and which relates to his glory, the glory of all his perfections; which reveals his purposes, shows his covenant, and exhibits the blessings and promises of it; and is the Gospel of the blessed God, who is blessed in himself, and is the fountain of blessedness to others; and particularly he blesses his chosen ones with spiritual blessings, and which are set forth and declared in the Gospel; for which reason this epithet seems to be given to God here: and it is a glorious one; it discovers the glory of God, of his wisdom, grace, and love in the salvation of men; its doctrines of peace and pardon, righteousness and salvation by Jesus Christ, are glorious ones; and so are its promises, being great and precious, all yea and amen in Christ, absolute, unconditional, unchangeable, and irreversible; its ordinances also are glorious ones, being amiable and pleasant, and not grievous and burdensome to believers; and it is glorious in its effects, being the power of God unto salvation, the means of enlightening the blind, of quickening the dead, of delivering men from bondage and servitude, of turning men from sin and Satan to God, and of refreshing and comforting distressed minds, and of reviving the spirits of drooping saints, of establishing and strengthening them, and nourishing them up to eternal life. The apostle adds, which was committed to my trust : to distinguish this Gospel from another, from that of the false teachers, which was an inglorious one, and he had nothing to do with; and to show the excellency and worth of it; it being valuable, was deserving of care and keeping, and was a depositum the person intrusted with was faithfully and carefully to keep and preserve.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - Whatever tends to weaken love to God, or love to the brethren, tends to defeat the end of the commandment. The design of the gospel i answered, when sinners, through repentance towards God and faith i Jesus Christ, are brought to exercise Christian love. And as believer were righteous persons in God's appointed way, the law was not agains them. But unless we are made righteous by faith in Christ, reall repenting and forsaking sin, we are yet under the curse of the law even according to the gospel of the blessed God, and are unfit to shar the holy happiness of heaven.

The glorious gospel of the blessed God (to eujaggelion thv doxhv tou makariou qeou). More correctly, the gospel of the glory, etc. The phrase as a whole has no parallel in N.T. The nearest approach to it is 2 Corinthians iv. 4. Gospel of God is a Pauline phrase; but makariov blessed is not used of God by Paul, is not used of God by paul, nor elsewhere outside of the pastorals, where it occurs twice, here and ch. vi. 15. For blessed is not used of God by Paul, nor elsewhere outside of the Pastorals, where it occurs twice, here and ch. vi. 15. For blessed see on Matt. v. 3. The appearing of the glory of God in Jesus Christ is the contents of the gospel. Comp. Tit. ii. 13.
Which was committed to my trust (o episteuqhn egw). Or, with which I was intrusted. Comp Tit. i. 3; Roman iii. 2; 1 Cor. ix. 17; Galatians ii. 7; 1 Thess. ii. 4, The ejgw I emphatically asserts the authority of paul against the "teachers of the law) (ver.7).

1:11 {Of the blessed God} (tou makariou qeou). Applied to God only here and #6:15, but in #Tit 2:13 makarios occurs with elpis (hope) of the "epiphany of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." {Which was committed to my trust} (ho episteuqen egw). "with which (ho accusative retained with first aorist passive verb episteuthn) I was entrusted."
