Rev. renders literally, according to the composition of the word, lover, of money. Only here and 2 Timothy 3:2. Compare the kindred noun, 1 Timothy 6:10. The usual word for covetous is πλεονέκτης (1 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 5:11; 1 Corinthians 6:10). [source]
Literally, being lovers of money. Πιλαργυροι Philarguroi is an old word, but in the N.T. only here and 2 Timothy 3:2. It is from πιλος philos and αργυρος arguros Imperfect active, were listening (all the while Jesus was talking to the disciples (Luke 16:1-13). [source]
Lit., the desire of having more. It is to be distinguished from φιλαργυρία , rendered love of money, 1 Timothy 6:10, and its kindred adjective φιλάργυρος , which A.V. renders covetous Luke 16:14; 2 Timothy 3:2; properly changed by Rev. into lovers of money. The distinction is expressed by covetousness and avarice. The one is the desire of getting, the other of keeping. Covetousness has a wider and deeper sense, as designating the sinful desire which goes out after things of time and sense of every form and kind. Hence it is defined by Paul (Colossians 3:5) as idolatry, the worship of another object than God, and is so often associated with fleshly sins, as 1 Corinthians 5:11; Ephesians 5:3, Ephesians 5:5; Colossians 3:5. Lightfoot says: “Impurity and covetousness may be said to divide between them nearly the whole domain of selfishness and vice.” Socrates quotes an anonymous author who compares the region of the desires in the wicked to a vessel full of holes, and says that, of all the souls in Hades, these uninitiated or leaky persons are the most miserable, and that they carry water to a vessel which is full of holes in a similarly holey colander. The colander is the soul of the ignorant (Plato, “Gorgias,” 493). Compare, also, the description of covetousness and avarice by Chaucer, “Romaunt of the Rose,” 183-246.“CovetiseThat eggeth folk in many a guise To take and yeve (give) right nought again,-DIVIDER- And great treasoures up to laine (lay). -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- … .. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- And that is she that maketh treachours,-DIVIDER- And she maketh false pleadours. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- … .. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- Full crooked were her hondes (hands) two,-DIVIDER- For Covetise is ever woode (violent)-DIVIDER- To grippen other folkes goode.”“AvariceFull foul in painting was that vice. … .. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- She was like thing for hunger dead,-DIVIDER- That lad (led) her life onely by bread. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- … .. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- This Avarice had in her hand-DIVIDER- A purse that honge by a band,-DIVIDER- And that she hid and bond so strong,-DIVIDER- Men must abide wonder long,-DIVIDER- Out of the purse er (ere) there come aught,-DIVIDER- For that ne commeth in her thought,-DIVIDER- It was not certaine her ententThat fro that purse a peny went.” [source]
Old word from πσιτυριζω psithurizō to speak into the ear, to speak secretly, an onomatopoetic word like πσιτυρισμος psithurismos (2 Corinthians 12:20) and only here in N.T. Backbiters (καταλαλους katalalous). Found nowhere else except in Hermas, compound like καταλαλεω katalaleō to talk back (James 4:11), and καταλαλια katalalia talking back (2 Corinthians 12:20), talkers back whether secretly or openly. Hateful to God Old word from τεος theos and στυγεω stugeō All the ancient examples take it in the passive sense and so probably here. So στυγητος stugētos (Titus 3:13). Vulgate has deo odibiles. Insolent (υβριστας hubristas). Old word for agent from υβριζω hubrizō to give insult to, here alone in N.T. save 1 Timothy 1:13. Haughty From υπερ huper and παινομαι phainomai to appear above others, arrogant in thought and conduct, “stuck up.” Boastful (αλαζονας alazonas). From αλη alē wandering. Empty pretenders, swaggerers, braggarts. Inventors of evil things Inventors of new forms of vice as Nero was. Tacitus (Ann. IV. ii) describes Sejanus as facinorum omnium repertor and Virgil (Aen. ii. 163) scelerum inventor. Disobedient to parents (γονευσιν απειτεις goneusin apeitheis). Cf. 1 Timothy 1:9; 2 Timothy 3:2. An ancient and a modern trait. [source]

N.T.oParents is too limited. The word comprehends mothers and grandmothers and living ancestors generally. The word for parents is γονεῖς , see 2 Timothy 3:2; Romans 1:30; 2 Corinthians 12:14; Ephesians 6:1; Colossians 3:20. Πρόγονοι for living ancestors is contrary to usage. One instance is cited from Plato, Laws, xi. 932. The word is probably selected to correspond in form with ἔκγονα childrenGood and acceptable ( καλὸν καὶ ἀποδεκτὸν )Omit καλὸν καὶ goodand.

Only here and Hebrews 13:5. olxx, oClass. Φιλάργυρος money-loving Luke 16:14; 2 Timothy 3:2. Rend. not a money-lover. The word for covetous is πλεονέκτης. For the distinction see on Romans 1:29. This admonition is cited by some writers in support of the view that the original ἐπίσκοπος was simply a financial officer. It is assumed that it was prompted by the special temptations which attached to the financial function. Admitting that the episcopal function may have included the financial interests of the church, it could not have been confined to these. It can hardly be supposed that, in associations distinctively moral and religious, one who bore the title of overseer should have been concerned only with the material side of church life. -DIVIDER- -DIVIDER- [source]
Or abounded exceedingly. N.T.oolxx. oClass. Paul is fond of compounds with ὑπὲρ , which, with a few exceptions, are found only in his writings. In the pastorals there are only three. See 1 Timothy 2:2; 2 Timothy 3:2. [source]
