For (γὰρ)

The universality of the grace is grounded in the unity of God. Comp. Rom 3:30. One divine purpose for all implies one God who purposes.

One God

These Epistles deal much with the divine attributes. See 1Ti 1:17; 1Ti 6:13, 1Ti 6:15, 1Ti 6:16; 1Ti 3:15; 1Ti 4:10; 2Ti 2:13; Tit 1:2.

Mediator (μεσίτης)

See on Gal 3:19. The word twice in Paul, Gal 3:29, Gal 3:20, once of Moses and once generally. In Hebrews always of Christ; Heb 8:6; Heb 9:15, Heb 12:24. This is the only instance in the pastorals. As the one God, so the one mediator implies the extension of the saving purpose to all.

The man Christ Jesus

The phrase only here.
