‏ 1 Timothy 1:20

Hymenaeus ( Hυμεναιος ). The same heretic reappears in 2Ti 2:17. He and Alexander are the chief "wreckers" of faith in Ephesus.

Alexander ( Αλεξανδρος ). Probably the same as the one in 2Ti 4:14, but not the Jew of that name in Ac 19:33, unless he had become a Christian since then.

I delivered unto Satan ( παρεδωκα τω Σατανα ). See this very idiom ( παραδουνα τω Σατανα ) in 1Co 5:5. It is a severe discipline of apostolic authority, apparently exclusion and more than mere abandonment (1Th 2:18; 1Co 5:11; 2Co 2:11), though it is an obscure matter.

That they might be taught not to blaspheme ( ινα παιδευθωσιν μη βλασφημειν ). Purpose clause with ινα and first aorist passive subjunctive of παιδευω. For this use of this common late verb, see 1Co 11:32; 2Co 6:9.
