1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 6New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
Fight the fine fight of the faith: The Greek verb and noun here rendered “fight” were used to refer to the struggling or contending for victory by athletes in their contests. (See study notes on Lu 13:24; 1Co 9:25.) Paul thus emphasizes that Christians must fight for their faith in Jehovah God, defending Christian truth as revealed in the Bible. This fight is truly a “fine,” or noble, struggle.—See study notes on 2Ti 4:7.
the everlasting life: See study note on 1Ti 6:19.
