1 Timothy 1:15

πίστος ό λόγος правдивое слово. Это первое из пяти правдивых слов в Пастырских посланиях. По поводу этого см. George Knight III, The Faithful Sayings in the Pastoral Epistles (Grand Rapids: Baker, 1979). Артикль может относиться к ранее сказанному, но скорее к последующему (GGBB, 220).
αποδοχή (G594) прием, принятие, одобрение. На греческом койне это слово обозначает принятие и признание, оказанное кому-л. или чему-л. (Dibelius; ММ),
σώσαι aor. act. inf. от σώζω (G4929) избавлять, спасать. Inf. здесь выражает цель. Aor. рассматривает процесс спасения целиком,
πρώτος (G4413) первый, первейший, главный. Здесь это слово употребляется в знач. величайший (Fairbairn). Praes. "Я есть" а не "Я был". Грешник остается грешником даже после прощения; прошлое всегда должно быть стимулом для глубокого покаяния и служения (Lock; Kelly).
