1 Timothy 1:14 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant - The original is very emphatic, that grace of our Lord, ὑπερεπλεονασε, hath superabounded - it manifested itself in a way of extraordinary mercy.

With faith and love - Not only pardoning such offenses, but leading me to the full experimental knowledge of Christianity; of that faith and love which are essential to it; and giving me authority to proclaim it to mankind.
