‏ 1 Timothy 1:3

As I exhorted ( καθως παρεκαλεσα ). There is an ellipse of the principal clause in verse 4 ( so do I now not being in the Greek).

To tarry ( προσμεινα ). First aorist active infinitive of προσμενω, old verb, attributed by Luke to Paul in Ac 13:43.

That thou mightest charge ( ινα παραγγειληις ). Subfinal clause with ινα and the first aorist active subjunctive of παραγγελλω, old verb, to transmit a message along ( παρα ) from one to another. See 2Th 3:4, 6, 10. Lock considers this idiom here an elliptical imperative like Eph 4:29; 5:33.

Certain men ( τισιν ). Dative case. Expressly vague (no names as in 1:20), though Paul doubtless has certain persons in Ephesus in mind.

Not to teach a different doctrine ( μη ετεροδιδασκαλειν ). Earliest known use of this compound like κακοδιδασκαλειν of Clement of Rome. Only other N.T. example in 6:3. Eusebius has ετεροδιδασκαλος. Same idea in Ga 1:6; 2Co 11:4; Ro 16:17. Perhaps coined by Paul.
