1 Timothy 1:14

“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant, etc.] That is, the love of Jehovah the Father; so the Ethiopic version reads, “the grace of God”; of God the Father, since he is distinguished in the text from Jesus Christ. God is abundant in grace and goodness; he is rich and plenteous in mercy; there is an overflow of love in his heart to his chosen people, and in conversion it flows out, and abounds and superabounds; (see <450520>Romans 5:20) with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus; these are the effects of the love and favour of God displayed in conversion, or which the grace of God brings along with it, and implants in the soul at that time, as it did in the apostle; for by “faith”…”

“And--Greek, "But." Not only so (was mercy shown me), but the grace--by which "I obtained mercy" (Ti1 1:13). was exceeding abundant--Greek, "superabounded." Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Rom 5:20). with faith--accompanied with faith, the opposite of "unbelief" (Ti1 1:13). love--in contrast to "a blasphemer, persecutor, and injurious." which is in Christ--as its element and home [ALFORD]: here as its source whence it flows to us.”

“And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant - That is, in his conversion under these circumstances and in the aid which was afterward imparted to him in his work. With faith and love which is in Christ Jesus - Accompanied with the exercise of faith and love; or producing faith and love. The grace which was imparted to him was seen in the faith and love which it produced; see the notes, 1 Corinthians 15:10. return to 'Top of Page'”

“And the grace - Whereby I obtained mercy. Was exceeding abundant with faith - Opposite to my preceding unbelief. And love - Opposite to my blasphemy, persecution, and oppression. 1 Timothy 1:15”
