1 Timothy 4:13

Till I come The present indic, (instead of future indic. or aorist subjunctive) is found Luke 19:13, -trade ye herewith till I come;" John 21:22, -if I will that he tarry till I come." The right reading in the former passage, dative of relative with preposition (instead of conjunction), shews how the usage has come; -during the time in which I am on my way," -whilst I am a-coming."

to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine The -public reading" as in the other two places where the noun occurs, Acts 13:15, -after the reading of the law;" 2 Corinthians 3:14 -at the reading of the old covenant;" and similarly -public exhortation" as in the same verse of the Acts, Acts 13:15, -if ye have any word of exhortation," cf. also Acts 15:31-32; and similarly public teaching," A.V. -doctrine" in its old sense; cf. Romans 12:7-8, where -teaching" and -exhorting" are joined; -he that teacheth, to his teaching, or he that exhorteth, to his exhorting;" the three parts of the public -ministry of the Word," reading, expounding, enforcing. The Bishop's charge in the Ordering of Priests in our Prayer-Book clearly quotes the verse in this sense, - with doctrine and exhortation taken out of the Holy Scriptures; and with a life agreeable to the same."
