That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Ver. 14. Without spot] Of foul sins, Deuteronomy 32:5 .

Unrebukeable] So as no just exception can be laid against thee for allowance of lesser evils.

Until the appearing] επιφανειαν. Illustrem illum adventure, as Beza renders it; the bright, clear, or radiant appearing. St Paul would have Timothy so carry himself as if Christ should then come, and to remit nothing of his zeal, though he should live till that time.
