This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Ti 6:16. Μόνος, only) This word only was properly put off in being treated of till now, because another similar phrase follows, “Whom no man hath seen, nor can see.”-ἔχων) having, and therefore about to give to us.-ἀθανασίαν, immortality) The adjective ἀθάνατος, immortal, is not found in the New Testament, but ἄφθαρτος, incorruptible. The LXX. has neither ἀθάνατος nor ἀθανασία. The Book of Wisdom, which never existed but in Greek, has both.-φῶς, light) After life, mention is immediately made of light.-ἀπρόσιτον) inaccessible to creatures, unless in as far as they are both admitted by Him and He goes forth to them.-οὐδεὶς ἀνθρώπων, no man) So Exo 33:20 : That which is denied to mere men, Joh 1:18; 1Jn 4:12, will be vouchsafed to the saints; Mat 5:8; 1Co 13:12; 1Jn 3:2; Rev 22:4.
