The Key Word — ταχέως, tacheōsgenerated
The adverb ταχέως means quickly or hastily. It suggests urgency and caution, particularly in contexts where rash decisions can have significant consequences, as seen in Galatians 1:6.
In this verse, Paul instructs Timothy not to act quickly in laying hands on others, indicating the need for careful consideration and discernment in leadership appointments.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: 'Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.' This is consistent across several translations.
However, differences arise in the rendering of specific phrases. For example, BBE uses 'put hands on any man without thought,' while KJV states 'Lay hands suddenly on no man.' Such variations highlight different emphases in the translations.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is ἐπιτίθει, do lay, which governs the clause about laying hands. Two additional clauses follow: one warns against sharing in sins and the other instructs Timothy to keep himself pure.
The structure includes a noun phrase χεῖρας (hands) as the object of the verb, with an adverbial phrase ταχέως indicating the manner in which the action should not be done.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἐπιτίθημι appears in the Septuagint, often in the context of placing or imposing something, indicating a continuity in the concept of authority and responsibility from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
The term ἁμαρτία is also present in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew for sin, reinforcing the understanding of moral failure and its implications in both Testaments.

χείρ (cheir) is a feminine noun meaning 'hand,' used in various contexts both literally and figuratively, such as power or agency. It appears frequently in the New Testament, notably in verses like Matthew 3:12 and Acts 11:21. The word is built from a root suggesting the idea of grasping, and it encompasses a range of uses, including physical actions and metaphorical expressions of authority.

ταχέως is an adverb derived from ταχύς, meaning quickly or hastily. It suggests a sense of speed or urgency, often with a connotation of rashness in contexts like Galatians 1:6 and 2 Thessalonians 2:2. The word appears in several New Testament verses, including Luke 14:21 and 1 Corinthians 4:19. Moulton & Milligan note its use in various papyri, indicating its practical application in everyday communication.
ταχέως, (ταχύς), adv., [fr. Hom. down], quickly, shortly: Lk. xiv. 21; xvi.6; Jn. xi.381; 1Co.iv.19; Gal.i.6; Phil. ii. 19, 24; 2 Tim. iv. 9; with the added suggestion of inconsiderateness [hastily]: 2 Th. ii. 2; 1 Tim. v. 22.
ταχέως, ““quickly’?: P Oxy I. τι69 (ii/A.b.) ταχέως αὐτὸν ἀπολύσατε, “send him off quickly’? (Edd.), P Fay 1267 come back quickly, for it is pressing,’’ and P Tebt II. 42377 (early ii/A.p.) 84[Aw]ody μοι ταχ[έως, “tell me at once’’ {Edd.). The compY® τάχᾳ(ε)ιον is always used with an elative force in the NT, except in Jn 204: cf. P Lond Inv. No. 1561° (end i/A.D.) (= Olsson Papyrusbriefe, p. 210) πρὸ μὲν παντὸς εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν καὶ τάχειον ἀπολαβεῖν, “above all I pray that you may be in health and that I should receive you as soon as possible’”’ (cf.

The Greek word μηδέ (i.e., *mēde*) is a negative particle that functions primarily as a conjunction meaning 'but not' or 'nor.' It can also serve as an adverb, emphasizing negation with meanings like 'not even.'

The Greek word κοινωνέω (koinōneō) means to share or participate in something with others. It can refer to having fellowship, communicating, or being involved in a partnership, often with a focus on mutual support or assistance. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts related to sharing in spiritual or material needs, such as in Romans and 1 Peter. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

The Greek word ἁμαρτία (i.e., *hamartia*) primarily means 'sin' or 'failure to hit the mark.' It encompasses ethical wrongdoing and is used in the New Testament to describe both individual acts of sin and the overarching principle of sin as a dominating force in human life. Various lexicons note its use in contexts such as guilt and the nature of sin, with references in Romans and John highlighting its significance in Christian theology.
παράβασις, παράπτωμα, ἀγνόημα, ἥττημα. A MOURNFULLY numerous group of words, and one which it would be only too easy to make larger still. Nor is it hard to see why. For sin, which we may define in the 240 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. ϑιυχνι. language of Augustine, as ‘ factum vel dictuin yel concuvitum aliquid contra eternam legem’ (Con. Faust. xxii. 27; cf. the Stoic definition, ἁμάρτημα, νόμου ἀπαγόρευμα, Plutarch, De Rep. Stoic. 11); or again, ‘ voluntas admittendi vel retinendi quod justitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere’ (Con. Jul. i. 47), may be regarded under an infinite number of aspects, and in all languages has been so regarded; and as the diagnosis of it belongs most of all to the Scriptures, nowhere else are we likely to find it contemplated on so many sides, set forth under such various images. It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim; it is then ἁμαρτία…

The Greek word ἀλλότριος (i.e., *allotrios*) is built from the root for 'another' and means belonging to another or foreign. It covers a range of meanings including alien, strange, and hostile, often contrasted with what is one's own. The New Testament uses it in verses like Luke 16:12 and Romans 14:4. Dodson's entry is notably brief, simply defining it as belonging to another person or foreign.

A rescript of Gordian (P Tebt Il. 285°), which Wilcken marks as suffering from translation out of Latin, uses τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους for * outsiders,” as against legitimate children.

The Greek word ἁγνός (hagnos) means pure, chaste, or holy. It is derived from a root associated with religious awe and is used to describe both people and things that are free from defilement or guilt. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as in 2 Corinthians and Titus, emphasizing moral purity and innocence. Some lexicons note a distinction between ἁγνός and related terms, but the entries do not provide significant disagreement.
‘Iepos, probably the same word as the German ‘hehr’ (see Curtius, Grundziige, vol. v. p. 369), never in the N. T., and very seldom elsewhere, implies any moral excellence. It is singular how seldom the word is found there, indeed only twice (1 Cor. ix. 13; 2 Tim. iii. 15) ; and only once in the Septuagint (Josh. vi. 8: ἱεραὶ cadrvyyes); four times in 2 Maccabees, but not else in the Apocrypha; being in none of these instances employed of persons, who only are moral agents, but always of things. To persons the word elsewhere also is of rarest application, though examples are not wanting. Thus ἱερὸς ἄνθρωπος is in Aristophanes (Rane, 652) a man initiated in the mysteries ; kings for 328 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. § uxxxvut. Pindar (Pyth. v. 97 [Diss., 131 Heyn.]) are ἱεροί, as having their dignity from the gods; for Plutarch the Indian gymnosophists are ἄνδρες ἱεροὶ καὶ αὐτόνομοι (De…

τηρέω is a verb meaning to watch over, guard, or keep. It encompasses a range of meanings including observing, preserving, and maintaining, often with a sense of careful attention. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, such as keeping commandments (e.g., Mt 19:17) and guarding one's faith (e.g., 2 Tim 4:7). It is related to the idea of custody and protection.
