The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-16

I. BEHAVIOR OF TIMOTHY TOWARD THE ELDER AND YOUNGER CHURCH MEMBERS OF BOTH SEXES . "Rebuke not an eider, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren: the eider women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity." A minister has to deal with people differing in age and sex. If he is a young minister like Timothy, he has a difficult part to act. It may happen that one who is very much his cider is guilty of an offence. How is he to conduct himself... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

I. THE CONDUCT OF TIMOTHY TOWARD ELDERLY MEN . "Reprimand not an elderly person, but exhort him as a brother." The allusion is not to an official elder of the Church, but to any elderly member of it. 1. Such persons might possibly be guilty of serious shortcomings , warranting private admonition, if not the exercise of discipline. Their conduct would have a worse effect than that of more youthful offenders. 2. Timothy must not use sharpness or severity in dealing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:11

Younger for the younger , A.V.; waxed for began to wax , A.V.; desire to for will , A.V. Refuse . Note the wisdom of Paul, who will not have the young widows admitted into the roll of Church widows, lest, after the first grief for the loss of their husbands has subsided, they should change their minds, and wish to return to the world and its pleasures, and so incur the guilt of drawing back their hands from the plough. Would that the Church had always imitated this wisdom... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:12

Condemnation for dare , ration , A.V,; rejected for cast off , A.V. Condemnation ; κρίμα , variously translated in the A.V. "damnation," "condemnation," and "judgment." The word means a "judgment," "decision," or "sentence," but generally an adverse sentence, a "condemnation." And this is the meaning of the English word "damnation," which has only recently acquired the signification of "eternal damnation." Rejected ( ἠθέτησαν ); literally, have set aside , or ... read more

Also to be for to be , A.V.; going for wandering , A.V. Also seems unnecessary, as "withal" seems to represent ἅμα καὶ . Learn to be idle ( ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσιν ). This is a construction which has no similar passage in Greek to support it, except one very doubtful one in Plato, 'Euthudemus'. But the other constructions proposed, viz. to construe μανθάνουσι , "they are inquisitive, or, curious," as Grotius and substantially Bengel; or to take περιερχόμεναι after ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 5:11

But the younger widows refuse - That is, in respect to the matter under discussion. Do not admit them into the class of widows referred to. It cannot mean that he was to reject them as members of the church, or not to treat them with respect and kindness.For when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ - There is probably a thought conveyed by these words to most minds which is by no means in the original, and which does injustice both to the apostle and to the “younger widows” referred... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 5:12

Having damnation - Or, rather, having “condemnation;” or incurring guilt. This does not mean of necessity that they would lose their souls; see the phrase explained in the notes on 1 Corinthians 11:29. The meaning is, that they would contract guilt, if they had been admitted among this class of persons, and then married again. The apostle does not say that that would be wrong in itself (compare notes on 1 Timothy 5:14), or that they would be absolutely prohibited from it, but that injury would... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 5:13

And withal - In addition to the prospect that they may marry again, there are other disadvantages which might follow from such an arrangement, and other evils to be feared which it is desirable to avoid.They learn to be idle - That is, if supported by the church, and if without the settled principles which might be expected in those more aged and experienced, it may be feared that they will give themselves up to an indolent life. There would be a security in the age and established habits of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 5:11-13

1 Timothy 5:11-13. But the younger widows refuse Do not choose; for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ To whose more immediate service they had devoted themselves; they will marry And, perhaps, to husbands who are strangers to Christianity, or at least not with a single eye to the glory of God, and so withdraw themselves from that service of Christ in the church which they were before engaged in. On the word καταστρηνιασωσι , rendered to wax wanton, Erasmus remarks,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-16

5:1-6:21 VARIOUS KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THE CHURCHThe young, the old and the widows (5:1-16)It may at times have been difficult for Timothy to deal with those who were older or those who were of the opposite sex. Paul therefore reminds him to be careful how he treats people, and always to show fitting courtesy and to act with moral uprightness (5:1-2).The church must care for those of its members who are in need. But the church does not have a duty to support financially those elderly people who... read more
