That you keep this commandment without spot, irreproachable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
All Commentaries on 1 Timothy 6:14 Go To 1 Timothy 6
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
That thou keep the commandment. Some understand that of fighting manfully; others of loving God; others rather comprehend all that St. Paul had commanded him, and all the instructions given.
Unto the coming of our Lord; which coming, he in due time will shew. This is the construction by the Greek. (Witham)
This coming will be desirable for Christians who have preserved or recovered their baptismal innocence, and for pastors who have faithfully fulfilled their ministry; but terrible, in the extreme, for all who have lived in the constant neglect and omission of their duties.
