1:20 Hymenaeus and Alexander might have been elders in Ephesus (see also 2 Tim 2:17; 4:14; cp. Acts 19:33; 20:29-31). • Paul handed them over to Satan by removing them from the church, the realm of the Spirit’s oversight (see also 2 Tim 2:25-26; Job 2:6; Matt 18:17-20; 1 Cor 5:2-5; 2 Cor 2:5-11). • blaspheme God: They attacked and defamed the true Good News, and thus God himself (see 1 Tim 1:13; cp. 6:1; Titus 2:5; 2 Pet 2:2).
