Commentary
Commentary on 1 Timothy 6:15
Theological / DevotionalTimes. Gr. kairoi, “favorable time,” that is, the time when, in the plans of God, the second advent should take place.
He. That is, the Father. The glory of Jesus Christ is the Father’s glory, and the attributes the Father possesses also belong to Christ. The words “who is” not being in the Greek, the first clause of v. 15 may read: “Which, in its own favorable time, he, the Blessed One and only Potentate, will show.”
Potentate. Or, “ruler,” “sovereign.” Paul was satisfied to know that even though he often suffered at the hand of earthly authorities, his life was ultimately in the hand of God, the Supreme Ruler of the universe.
King of kings, and Lord of lords. Literally, “the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who are lording.” This appellation applies to both the Father and Jesus (see Rev. 17:14; see on ch. 19:16).
