• The mediator is a man, that God may be known of men. The Absolute is divided from the relative (and we, indeed creatures universally, are necessarily relative) by a gulf impassable to us.

Kelly)

• the oneness of the Mediator is as sure, vital, and characteristic a testimony of Christianity as the oneness of God was of the law. It is not only that Christ Jesus is Mediator, but there is this "one" only. (“On 1 Timothy 2:5-7” by W. Kelly)

• The One Mediator is a Man in order that God may be known to men. Men cannot rise to God; but God, in His love, can come down to man. (“The Order of God's House: 1 Timothy 2-3” by H. Smith)
