6:14to obey21 this command22 without fault or failure until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ 6:15—whose appearing23 the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at the right time.
Footnotes
- 21 The Greek word τηρέω (tēreō, traditionally translated “keep”) in this context connotes preservation of and devotion to an object as well as obedience.
- 22 Grk “the command.” The command refers to the duties laid upon Timothy for his ministry in Ephesus (1 Tim 1:3–20; 6:2c–5).
- 23 Grk “which.” All of 1 Tim 6:15 is a relative clause which refers back to “appearing” in v. 14. The phrase “whose appearing” was supplied to clarify this connection.
