Word Pictures in the NT [1 Timothy: Chapter 1].
example in 6:3. Eusebius has \heterodidaskalos\. Same idea in
Ga 1:6; 2Co 11:4; Ro 16:17. Perhaps coined by Paul.
1:4 {To give heed} (\prosechein\). With \noun\ understood. Old
and common idiom in N.T. especially in Luke and Acts (Ac
8:10ff.). Not in Paul's earlier Epistles. 1Ti 3:8; 4:1,13; Tit
1:14. {To fables} (\muthois\). Dative case of old word for
speech, narrative, story, fiction, falsehood. In N.T. only 2Pe
1:16; 1Ti 1:4; 4:7; Tit 1:14; 2Ti 4:4. {Genealogies}
(\genealogiais\). Dative of old word, in LXX, in N.T. only here
and Tit 3:9. {Endless} (\aperantois\). Old verbal compound
(from \a\ privative and \perain•\, to go through), in LXX, only
here in N.T. Excellent examples there for old words used only in
the Pastorals because of the subject matter, describing the
Gnostic emphasis on aeons. {Questionings} (\ekz•t•seis\).
"Seekings out." Late and rare compound from \ekz•te•\ (itself
_Koin•_ word, Ro 3:11 from LXX and in papyri). Here only in
N.T. Simplex \z•t•sis\ in Ac 15:2; 1Ti 6:4; Tit 3:9; 2Ti 2:23.
{A dispensation} (\oikonomian\). Pauline word (1Co 9:17; Col
1:25; Eph 1:9; 3:9; 1Ti 1:4), Lu 16:2-4 only other N.T.
examples. {In faith} (\en pistei\). Pauline use of \pistis\.
1:5 {The end} (\to telos\). See Ro 6:21; 10:4 for \telos\ (the
good aimed at, reached, result, end). {Love} (\agap•\). Not
"questionings." Ro 13:9. "Three conditions for the growth of
love" (Parry): "Out of a pure heart" (\ek katharas kardias\, O.T.
conception), "and a good conscience" (\kai suneid•se•s agath•s\,
for which see Ro 2:25), "and faith unfeigned" (\kai piste•s
anupokritou\, late compound verbal in 2Co 6:6; Ro 12:9).
1:6 {Having swerved} (\astoch•santes\). First aorist active
participle of \astoche•\, compound _Koin•_ verb (Polybius,
Plutarch) from \astochos\ (\a\ privative and \stochos\, a mark),
"having missed the mark." In N.T. only here, 6:21; 2Ti 2:18.
With the ablative case \h•n\ (which). {Have turned aside}
(\exetrap•san\). Second aorist passive indicative of \ektrep•\,
old and common verb, to turn or twist out or aside. In medical
sense in Heb 12:13. As metaphor in 1Ti 1:6; 6:20; 2Ti 4:4.
{Vain talking} (\mataiologian\). Late word from \mataiologos\,
only here in N.T., in the literary _Koin•_.
1:7 {Teachers of the law} (\nomodidaskaloi\). Compound only in
N.T. (here, Lu 5:17; Ac 5:34) and ecclesiastical writers.
{Though they understand} (\noountes\). Concessive participle of
