This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Ti 1:6. Ὧν, from which) a pure heart, etc.-ἀστοχήσαντες) The same word is found at ch. 1Ti 6:21; 2Ti 2:18. ἀστοχεῖν is said of him who misses the point at which he aimed, who does not obtain his end.-ἐξετράπησαν, have turned away) Not only did they not become better, but worse. A false and preposterous elevation and extent of knowledge renders its possessor more estranged from the faith, and from the sense of good and evil, etc., than is any illiterate person.-εἰς ματαιολογίαν, unto vain jangling) Tit 1:10; Tit 3:9. He comprehends in this one term the empty (vain) babblings and oppositions, ch. 1Ti 6:20. It is the greatest vanity where Divine things are not truthfully discussed; Rom 1:21.
