1 Timothy 3

1 Timothy 3:2 · William Boekestein

Well, 1 Timothy 3 verse 2 lists hospitality as one of the requirements of elders. And I think that deacons, while that term isn’t used in the list of requirements for deacons, it seems that the office of deacon was instituted explicitly because of a hospitality need.

1 Timothy 3:3 · Jeff Waddington

Well, 1 Timothy 3. 3. 3. 15. 15, yeah. Says that Christ was vindicated or justified by the Spirit. It’s a dikai-o. By his resurrection from the dead. Yeah. And we’ve already touched upon it in passing. Christ, per Galatians 3, is under a curse when he dies on the cross.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Speaker 13

And I think that this is a huge contrast with, say, Roman Catholic views, or especially the new perspective on Paul, which has a very similar soteriology to the Roman Catholic Church, is that, as you were just saying, that, you know, Christ’s justification is his resurrection. You know, 1 Timothy 3.

1 Timothy 3:16 · R. Scott Clark

I like the way that it’s, uh, laid out on the page in the ESV of 1 Timothy 3.16. He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. Uh, now that, that strikes me, uh, clearly as a confessional formula.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

A, who has made purification for sin, propitiated the wrath of God, expiated the sin of His people, reconciled them to Himself in the blood of the cross. B, and then C, been raised from the dead, never to die again, and justified. 1 Timothy 3.16. It is that righteousness that faith, that righteousne

1 Timothy 3:16 · Camden Bucey

then he was raised from the dead and in that resurrection he was, in a matter of course, for us, justified. He was vindicated by the Spirit, 1 Timothy 3.16, the word there, justified by the Spirit, it’s the same word. He was also sanctified. You can go look at Romans 6 for this. He was also adopted.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

There it is, and so when he rises as justified, 1 Timothy 3.16, our confession 11.4 is going to say that resurrection was not just his vindication, it was for our justification in him. But then this clause, nevertheless, they, the church, believers, those who are in the church trusting in Jesus Chri

1 Timothy 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

and his justification as raised, 1 Timothy 3.16, how that provides the forensic ground or the legal ground for our justification by faith.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Jim Cassidy

But is the idea that without resurrection, there is no justification. Right. Among other things. Yeah. Yeah. Among other things. I mean, there just, there isn’t, and I’m thinking here particularly of 1 Timothy 3.16, which Gaffin has, you know, exegeted very well for us in other places.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Camden Bucey

the richness of what Christ’s death and resurrection means for me. Not just that he paid for my sins, but in being raised from the dead, we see how Christ himself, for us, pro nobis, was justified. 1 Timothy 3.16. How he himself was sanctified. Romans 6, for example. How he himself was adopted. Roma

1 Timothy 3:16 · John Fesko

a huge contrast, with say, Roman Catholic views, or especially, the new perspective, on Paul, which has a, very similar, soteriology, to the Roman Catholic Church, is that, as you were just saying, that, you know, Christ’s justification, is his resurrection, you know, 1 Timothy 3.16, or very similar

1 Timothy 3:16 · Mark Garcia

His death to sin and to the old order that was terminated in his sacrifice is our death to sin as well. We died in his death. We’re crucified in his crucifixion. It is our circumcision. His resurrection from the dead as his justification, 1 Timothy 3.16. His vindication is our justification and vind

1 Timothy 3:16 · Jeff Waddington

he has been raised, so he has been vindicated. 1 Timothy 3.16, okay, a passage that is powerful. It talks about being vindicated by the Spirit. Well, the Greek word behind vindication, of course, is dikaiou, which is the word we use for justification. That’s right. So,

1 Timothy 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

including effectual calling, regeneration, and union. You’re not introducing on those pages the historia salutis reality of Jesus’ death and resurrection and pinpointing 1 Timothy 3.16 that his resurrection is his justification. Had you done that, there would be no confusion in my mind.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

The fact that it’s a no-brainer that the justification of Jesus Christ in the historia salutis precedes logically and temporally the justification of everyone who lives on the other side of Pentecost. That’s clear in light of 1 Timothy 3.16 and other places. That’s not where the discussion lies.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Camden Bucey

Well, let’s look at a few just offhand. Again, I have no notes. We talk about this a lot and we’ve written this book. So I’m just going off the top of my head. And as I like to say, there’s not much there. But – All right. But – so Jesus is justified in His resurrection. No doubt about it. So that’s

1 Timothy 3:16 · Lane G. Tipton

We’ll get to that in a minute. It strikes for Jesus when He rises from the dead, 1 Timothy 3.16. Yeah. And His justification brings into view our justification, Romans 4.25, but the gavel strikes at the moment, never prior, at the moment Christ’s righteousness is imputed to you by faith alone.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Brandon Crowe

Yeah, here I build on the work of Voss, Gaffin, others who have really made a strong case here. And that is the resurrection is the vindication of Christ’s perfect obedience. First Timothy 3.16 calls it the justification or the vindication, however you translate that, of Christ as our mediator.

1 Timothy 3:16 · Richard B. Gaffin Jr.

where Paul says that Christ was raised for our justification. Well, see, that brings the whole resurrection, Christ being constituted as the life-giving Spirit, into the picture. And so that Paul can also say, 1 Timothy 3.16, that Christ in his ascension, or his exaltation, was justified in the Spir
