<p>1:20 <i>Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, t</i><i>hat they might be taught not to blaspheme</i>- The fact they were still causing trouble in 2 Tim. 2:17 means this intention didn't work out; they continued their blasphemy. The mention of blasphemy is in the context of :13, where Paul has admitted to being a blasphemer, who had been converted by the long patience of the Lord Jesus as an example to others (:16). And now Paul seeks to reflect to others the patient, seeking, saving grace which he has experienced. And this was his motive in whatever courses of action were involved in his 'delivering these men to satan'.</p>
