Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Sosteniendo el misterio de la fe - En la palabra "misterio", vea las notas en 1 Corintios 2:7. Significa lo que había estado oculto u oculto, pero que ahora se reveló. La palabra "fe" aquí, es sinónimo de "el evangelio"; y la sensación es que él debe sostener firmemente las grandes doctrinas de la religión cristiana que durante tanto tiempo se habían ocultado a la gente, pero que ahora se revelaron. El motivo es obvio. Aunque no es un predicador, su influencia y su ejemplo serían grandiosos, y un hombre que cometió un error material no debería estar en el cargo.

En una conciencia pura - Una mera fe ortodoxa no era todo lo que era necesario, porque era posible que un hombre pudiera profesar ser firme en la creencia de las verdades de revelación, y aún así ser corrupto de corazón.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Versículo 9. Mantener el misterio de la fe... En lugar de της πιστεως, la fe, un MS. (cuya lectura se encuentra en el margen de una copia del texto griego de Mill en la biblioteca Bodleian, y que está marcada como 61 en Griesbach) dice αναστασεως, de la resurrección. Esta lectura, como muchas otras en este MS, no se encuentra en ninguna otra parte; y es digna de poca consideración, sino como expresión de lo que al escritor le pareció que era el sentido del apóstol. Uno de los más grandes misterios de la fe era sin duda la resurrección de los muertos; y esto se sostenía en una conciencia pura cuando la persona se ejercitaba de tal manera que tenía una conciencia vacía de ofensa hacia Dios y hacia los hombres. Véase Hechos 24:16 . Lo que desde entonces se ha llamado antinomianismo, es decir, anular la ley moral mediante una supuesta fe en la justicia de Cristo, es lo que el apóstol tiene aquí particularmente en vista.
