According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

According to the glorious gospel (Romans 2:16). The Christian's freedom from the law as a sanctifier, as well as a justifier (1 Timothy 1:9), accords with the Gospel of (i:e., which manifests) the glory [ to (G3588) euangelion (G2098) tees (G3588) doxees (G1391): note, 2 Corinthians 4:4 ] of the blessed God. The Gospel manifests God's "glory" (Romans 9:23; Ephesians 1:17; Ephesians 3:16) in accounting "righteous" the believer, through the righteousness of Christ, without "the law" (1 Timothy 1:9); and in imparting that righteousness whereby he loathes those sins against which (1 Timothy 1:9) the law is directed. "Blessed" indicates at once immortality and self-derived happiness. The supremely - "blessed" One is He from whom all our Gospel blessedness flows: applied to GOD only here and 1 Timothy 6:15: appropriate in contrast to the curse on those under the law (1 Timothy 1:9; Galatians 3:10).

Committed to my trust. The Greek order brings into emphasis Paul, 'committed in trust to ME;' in contrast to the law-teaching which they (who had no Gospel-commission) assumed to themselves (1 Timothy 1:7; Titus 1:3).
