  • 1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 2
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 2:6

      gave himself a corresponding ransom: The Greek term translated “corresponding ransom” is an·tiʹly·tron, which is composed of two parts: an·tiʹ “in exchange for; in correspondence to; in place of” and lyʹtron “ransom; ransom price.” Jesus gave his perfect human life as a sacrifice that corresponds exactly to the perfect human life that Adam lost by rebelling against God. Jehovah could accept Jesus’ sacrifice as “a corresponding ransom” because it fully satisfies His own high standard of justice. In this verse, many Bible translations simply read “ransom,” as at Mt 20:28 and Mr 10:45, where the Greek word lyʹtron occurs. (See study note on Mt 20:28; Glossary, “Ransom.”) However, Paul uses the word an·tiʹly·tron, which occurs only here in the Christian Greek Scriptures. Commenting on its meaning, one reference work defines this expression as “a ransom, price of redemption, or rather a correspondent ransom.” (A Greek and English Lexicon to the New Testament, by John Parkhurst) In view of the foregoing, the rendering “a corresponding ransom” is more appropriate.​—Compare study note on 1Co 15:45.

      for all: Or “all sorts of people.”​—Mt 20:28; Joh 3:16; see study note on 1Ti 2:4.
