“Accordingly, the meaning of our present passage (1 Tim. 3:2) is simply this, that an overseer or elder must be a man of unquestioned morality, one who is entirely true and faithful to his one and only wife; one who, being married, does not in pagan fashion enter into an immoral relationship with another woman.” (Page 121)

“ aged women must be reverent, conducting themselves as if they were servants in God’s temple,” (Page 364)

“Then surely the realization of this hope will be blessed, indeed! Read Dan. 12:3; Matt. 25:34–40; Rom. 8:20b; 1 Cor. 15:51, 52; 1 Thess. 4:13–18; 2 Thess. 1:10; Rev. 14:14–16; 19:6–9.” (Page 373)

“Briefly, it refers to inordinate longing for pleasure, power, and possessions.” (Page 372)

“This is really all that is needed in clarification of our present passage, 1 Tim. 4:10. What the apostle teaches amounts, accordingly, to this, ‘We have our hope set on the living God, and in this hope we shall not be disappointed, for not only is he a kind God, hence the Soter (Preserver, Deliverer) of all men, showering blessings upon them, but he is in a very special sense the Soter (Savior) of those who by faith embrace him and his promise, for to them he imparts salvation, everlasting life in all its fulness (as explained in connection with 1 Tim. 1:15; see on that passage).” (Page 156)
