Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Which some professing,.... Pretending to be masters of the above science, boasting and making great show of it, and valuing themselves upon it: have erred concerning the faith: have wandered from the way of truth, and gone into the path of error; have fallen from the doctrine of faith, and made shipwreck of it, and become entire apostates: from the danger attending vain jangling, the use of new words, the profession of a false science, and making objections from it against the truth, does the apostle dissuade Timothy from them, since they generally issue in apostasy. Grace be with thee.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Which some professing - Evidently some who professed to be true Christians. They were attracted by false philosophy, and soon, as a consequence, were led to deny the doctrines of Christianity. This result has not been uncommon in the world. Have erred concerning the faith - see notes on 1Ti 1:6-7; 1Ti 6:10. Grace be with thee - see the notes, Rom 1:7. On the subscription at the close of this Epistle, see Intro., Section 2. It is, like the other subscriptions at the close of the epistles, of no authority.
