Commentary

Commentary on 1 Timothy 1:6

Theological / Devotional

Having swerved. Literally, “having missed the mark,” that is, the three sources of true love in v. 5.

Vain jangling. Gr. mataiologia, “useless talk” (cf. 1 Cor. 15:17). If love is not the result or goal of man’s activity, that which is done leads to nothing permanent or satisfying.
