{Hymenaeus} (Humenaios). The same heretic reappears in
2Ti 2:17 . He and Alexander are the chief "wreckers" of faith in
Ephesus. {Alexander} (Alexandros). 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}
(pared(936b)a t(9369) Satan(8369)). See this very idiom (paradounai t(9369)
Satan(8369)) 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} (hina paideuth(9373)in
m(8820)blasph(886d)ein). Purpose clause with hina and first aorist
passive subjunctive of paideu(935c). For this use of this common
late verb, see 1Co 11:32 2Co 6:9 .
