This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Made manifest (φανερωθεῖσαν)
See on 1Ti 3:16. In contrast with the preceding clause, this marks the historical fulfillment in time of the eternal, divine counsel. Comp. Tit 1:3. There is an implication that the divine counsel was hidden until the fitting time: comp. Eph 3:5, and see Col 1:26.
By the appearing (διὰ τῆς ἐπιφανείας)
See on 2Th 2:8; see on 1Ti 6:14.
Who hath abolished (καταργήσαντος)
Better, since he made of none effect. In Pastorals only here. Frequent in Paul. See on make without effect, Rom 3:3, and comp. is swallowed up, 1Co 15:54. Notice the association of the verb with ἐπιφάνεια appearing in 2Th 2:8.
Brought to light (φωτίσαντος)
Only here in Pastorals. In Paul, 1Co 4:5; Eph 1:18; Eph 3:9.
Immortality (ἀφθαρσίαν)
Better, incorruption. With this exception, only in Paul. See Wisd. 2:23; 6:9; 4 Macc. 9:22; 17:12.
