As I exhorted (kaqwv parekalesa). There is an ellipse of the principal clause in verse I Timothy 1:4 (
so do I now not being in the Greek).
To tarry (prosmeinai). First aorist active infinitive of prosmenw, old verb, attributed by Luke to Paul in Acts 13:43.
That thou mightest charge (ina paraggeilhv). Subfinal clause with ina and the first aorist active subjunctive of paraggellw, old verb, to transmit a message along (para) from one to another. See II Thessalonians 3:4, II Thessalonians 3:6, II Thessalonians 3:10. Lock considers this idiom here an elliptical imperative like Ephesians 4:29; Ephesians 5:33.
Certain men (tisin). Dative case. Expressly vague (no names as in I Timothy 1:20), though Paul doubtless has certain persons in Ephesus in mind.
Not to teach a different doctrine (mh eterodidaskalein). Earliest known use of this compound like kakodidaskalein of Clement of Rome. Only other N.T. example in I Timothy 6:3. Eusebius has eterodidaskalov. Same idea in Galatians 1:6; II Corinthians 11:4; Romans 16:17. Perhaps coined by Paul.
