提摩太前書 5:2 CUNPTS

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 5:1-8

(1) ¶ Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; (2) The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. (3) ¶ Honour widows that are widows indeed. (4) But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. (5) Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:2

A just medium must be observed in the guidance of the sex, avoiding equally an indiscreet severity or an affection too tender and bordering on sensuality. A just diffidence in self is the best security. --- All chastity refers to the heart, eyes, ears, words, looks, with the precautions of times and places. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-2

1,2 Respect must be paid to the dignity of years and place. The younger, if faulty, must be rebuked, not as desirous to find fault with them, but as willing to make the best of them. There is need of much meekness and care in reproving those who deserve reproof. 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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-8

Wise Treatment of Young and Old 1 Timothy 5:1-8 That minister of Jesus is happiest who introduces the tone and manner of family life into the church, 1 Timothy 5:1-2 . The attitude of son or brother to other men is peculiarly fitting. But he must always keep up the spiritual tone. It is so easy to descend to frivolity and familiarity. Remember that all intercourse with others must be governed by the words- in all purity . The special references to widows evidence the early practice of the... read more
