VERSE (3) - Ac 19:1 *etc:

SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:3

Hars como te rogu, que te quedases en Efeso, cuando partí para Macedonia, para que requirieses a algunos que no enseen diversa doctrina,

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:3

Verse 3. I besought thee] The apostle had seen that a bad seed had been sown in the Church; and, as he was obliged to go then into Macedonia, he wished Timothy, on whose prudence, piety, and soundness in the faith he could depend, to stay behind and prevent the spreading of a doctrine that would have been pernicious to the people's souls. I have already supposed that this epistle was written after Paul had been delivered from his first imprisonment at Rome, about the end of the year 64, or the beginning of 65. See the preface. When, therefore, the apostle came from Rome into Asia, he no doubt visited Ephesus, where, ten years before, he had planted a Christian Church, and, as he had not time to tarry then, he left Timothy to correct abuses.

That thou mightest charge some] He does not name any persons; the Judaizing teachers are generally supposed to be those intended; and the term tisi, some, certain persons, which he uses, is expressive of high disapprobation, and at the same time of delicacy: they were not apostles, nor apostolic men; but they were undoubtedly members of the Church at Ephesus, and might yet be reclaimed.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 3. As I besought thee to abide, still at Ephesus , etc.] Where it seems he now was, being left here by the apostle, and where he was desired by him to continue: when I went into Macedonia ; not when he went his first journey there, for Timothy was then along with him, ( Acts 16:3,12) and so he seems to be in his journey through it, in ( Acts 20:3,4). It may be this may refer to a journey which Luke has given no account of: that thou mightest charge some, that they teach no other doctrine ; than the doctrine of Christ and his apostles; than what had been preached by the apostle at Ephesus, and the saints there had received; than what was agreeably to the Scriptures of truth, and was according to godliness; for all other doctrines must be divers and strange ones: nor would he have them teach in another way, in new words, but hold fast the form of sound words; for new words often produce new doctrines: the apostle perhaps by other doctrine chiefly respects the doctrine of justification by the works of the law. It seems as if there were some teachers in this place the apostle was suspicious of, or he had heard that they began to innovate in the doctrine of faith; wherefore he desires Timothy to continue a while, in order to be a check on these persons, and to charge them not to introduce any new doctrine; for it was only some, and not all that taught there, he was so to charge. Some refer this to hearers; and render, the words, that they follow no other doctrine; but it seems best to understand it of teachers; the Syriac and Arabic versions render the words as we do.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-4 - Jesus Christ is a Christian's hope; all our hopes of eternal life ar built upon him; and Christ is in us the hope of glory. The apostl seems to have been the means of Timothy's conversion; who served with him in his ministry, as a dutiful son with a loving father. That whic raises questions, is not for edifying; that which gives occasion for doubtful disputes, pulls down the church rather than builds it up Godliness of heart and life can only be kept up and increased, by the exercise of faith in the truths and promises of God, through Jesu Christ.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

3. Even as (kaqwv). An awkward construction, there being nothing to answer to kaqwv.

To abide (prosmeinai). To continue on. The compound does not occur in Paul, but is found in Acts xi. 23; xiii. 43; xviii. 18.

When I went (poreuomenov). Better, was going, or was on my way. The participle cannot refer to Timothy.

Might'st charge (paraggeilhv) See on Acts i. 4. Very common in Luke and Acts, but not in Paul. In 1st Timothy alone five times.

Some (tisin) Note the indefinite designation of the errorists, and comp. verse 6; iv. 1; v. 15, 24; vi. 21. The expression is contemptuous. It is assumed that Timothy knows who they are. This is after the Pauline manner. See Gal. i. 7; ii. 12; 1 Cor. iv. 18; xv. 12; 2 Cor. iii. 1; Col. ii. 4, 8.

That they teach no other doctrine (mh eterodidaskalein). Better, not to teach a different doctrine. For eterov different, see on Gal. i. 6. The verb Past o . o LXX. o Class. The charge is not to teach anything contrary to the sound teaching (verse 10) or irreconcilable with it. Comp. Gal. i. 6; 2 Cor. xi. 4; Rom. xvi. 17.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

1:3 {As I exhorted} (kaqws parekalesa). There is an ellipse of the principal clause in verse #4 ({so do I now} not being in the Greek). {To tarry} (prosmeinai). First aorist active infinitive of prosmenw, old verb, attributed by Luke to Paul in #Ac 13:43. {That thou mightest charge} (hina paraggeileis). Subfinal clause with hina and the first aorist active subjunctive of paraggellw, old verb, to transmit a message along (para) from one to another. See #2Th 3:4,6,10. Lock considers this idiom here an elliptical imperative like #Eph 4:29; 5:33. {Certain men} (tisin). Dative case. Expressly vague (no names as in #1:20), though Paul doubtless has certain persons in Ephesus in mind. {Not to teach a different doctrine} (me heterodidaskalein). Earliest known use of this compound like kakodidaskalein of Clement of Rome. Only other N.T. example in #6:3. Eusebius has heterodidaskalos. Same idea in #Ga 1:6; 2Co 11:4; Ro 16:17. Perhaps coined by Paul.
