This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
keep this commandment - Greek, “the commandment,” that is, the Gospel rule of life (1Ti 1:5; Joh 13:34; 2Pe 2:21; 2Pe 3:2).
without spot, unrebukeable - agreeing with “thou.” Keep the commandment and so be without spot,” etc. “Pure” (1Ti 5:22; Eph 5:27; Jam 1:27; 2Pe 3:14).
until the appearing of ... Christ - His coming in person (2Th 2:8; Tit 2:13). Believers then used in their practice to set before themselves the day of Christ as near at hand; we, the hour of death [Bengel]. The fact has in all ages of the Church been certain, the time as uncertain to Paul, as it is to us; hence, 1Ti 6:15, he says, “in HIS times”: the Church’s true attitude is that of continual expectation of her Lord’s return (1Co 1:8; Phi 1:6, Phi 1:10).
