4v8 Worksheet wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/202019254QUESTIION: Was Paul teaching in 1 Tim 4:10 that all individuals that have ever lived would be saved irrespective of their beliefs or life choices?1 TIMOTHY 4:10 reads “For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of ALL MEN, especially of believers.” (1 Timothy 4:10) biblehub.com/1_timothy/4-10.htmThis at first glance might seem to indicate that all individuals (regardless of their choices in life, and irrespective of whether they accept God's standards) will be saved. The expression Paul uses in the text in its original language, "pas anthropos" #STRONGS 444 depending on context can mean male, human being or mankind* . Indeed, Bible commentor Kenneth Wuest writes : "anthrōpos [...] is the racial, generic term, and which has the general idea of ' mankind*' " (3, Great Truths to Live By, 46). Merriam-Webster's Dictionary gives one definition of the word MANKIND as: all people thought of as one groupwww.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mankindThus some bible scholars interpret the passage not to mean all individuals in the absolute sense but that God's will is to save all kinds or classes of men vis-à-vis the pool of all humans. Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible makes the following commmentary on a parallel use of the same expression in 1 Tim 2:4 Thus the verse might just as legitimately be rendered "God, who is a Savior of all sorts of men, especially of faithful ones." which is more in line with the Christian message (compare Math 7:22, 23; 1 Tim 2:4)
