1 Timothy 2:7

Whereunto—For the giving of which testimony.

I am ordained—literally, "I was set": the same Greek, as "putting me," etc. (I Timothy 1:12).

preacher—literally, "herald" (I Corinthians 1:21; I Corinthians 9:27; I Corinthians 15:11; II Timothy 1:11; Titus 1:3). He recurs to himself, as in I Timothy 1:16, in himself a living pattern or announcement of the Gospel, so here "a herald and teacher of (it to) the Gentiles" (Galatians 2:9; Ephesians 3:1-12; Colossians 1:23). The universality of his commission is an appropriate assertion here, where he is arguing to prove that prayers are to be made "for all men" (I Timothy 2:1).

I speak the truth . . . and lie not—a strong asseveration of his universal commission, characteristic of the ardor of the apostle, exposed to frequent conflict (Romans 11:1; II Corinthians 11:13).

in faith and verity—rather, "in the faith and the truth." The sphere in which his ministry was appointed to be exercised was the faith and the truth (I Timothy 2:4): the Gospel truth, the subject matter of the faith [WIESINGER].
