提摩太前书 5:12 CUVS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Timothy 5:12

(12) Having damnation.—Judgment, not necessarily “damnation.” The Greek word krima is often thus unhappily translated. The context of the passage must in all cases decide the nature of the “judgment,” whether favourable or the contrary. Here it signifies that those who in after days give up a work which for their Master’s sake they had undertaken, expose themselves to a searching judgment, which will thoroughly sift the reasons that induced them to forsake the begun toil, and that, if the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

1 Timothy 5:24 Prof. Richard Moulton quotes this text in his exposition of 'The Merchant of Venice'. He says that 'the story contains a double Nemesis, attaching to the Jew himself and to his victim. The two moreover represent the different conceptions of Nemesis in the ancient and modern world: Antonio's excess of moral confidence suffers a nemesis of reaction in his humiliation, and Shylock's sin of judicial murder finds a nemesis of retribution in his ruin by process of law. The nemesis, it... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

V. INSTRUCTIONS AND EXHORTATIONS CHAPTER 5 1. Concerning widows (1 Timothy 5:1-16 ) 2. Concerning elders (1 Timothy 5:17-21 ) 3. Responsibility and personal instructions (1 Timothy 5:22-25 ) 1 Timothy 5:1-16 It is not necessary to follow all these instructions in detail and explain their meaning. An elder was not to be rebuked sharply, but to be entreated as a father, and younger men as brethren. Then he speaks of widows. Those who are widows indeed are to be held in honor. Piety was to... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

In this section we are faced with more detailed, practical responsibilities in reference to the various relationships in which one may be found. This is wholesome, sobering instruction. First, a young man must have a proper respect for an elder. It is certainly not necessarily an official elder of which the apostle speaks, for this would leave us with no true application of the instruction for today, there being no authority left us at all for the official appointment of elders. But any older... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

MATTERS ECCLESIASTICAL & SOCIAL Chapter 5 gives directions concerning Timothy’s management of church affairs, first, as to his behavior towards the older and younger members of the flock, of both sexes (1 Timothy 5:1-2 ). Secondly, as touching widows (1 Timothy 5:3-16 ). By “widows indeed,” 1 Timothy 5:3 , Paul means those who had no near relatives to support them (see v. 4-5), and who were trusting in God (1 Timothy 5:6 ). At this point the apostle turns from the widows themselves to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:9-16

(9) Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, (10) Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. (11) But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; (12) Having damnation, because they have cast off their first... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:12

Having, or incurring and making themselves liable to damnation, by a breach of their first faith, their vow or promise, (Witham) by which they had engaged themselves to Christ. (Challoner) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:9-16

9-16 Every one brought into any office in the church, should be free from just censure; and many are proper objects of charity, yet ought not to be employed in public services. Those who would find mercy when they are in distress, must show mercy when they are in prosperity; and those who show most readiness for every good work, are most likely to be faithful in whatever is trusted to them. Those who are idle, very seldom are only idle, they make mischief among neighbours, and sow discord among... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-99

1Tim 5 TIMOTHY HAD BEEN entrusted with special responsibilities both as to teaching and as to order in the church. Consequently if he kept right and in a state of happy deliverance from these dangers he would be a minister of deliverance to many others. But then this might bring him into a measure of conflict with some. An elder even might need admonition as verse 1Ti_5:1 of chapter 5 shows us, and Timothy must be careful not to set himself wrong in attempting to set him right. The truth... read more
