디모데전서 5:3-25 KRV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:14

I will therefore that the younger women marry ,.... Or "the younger" widows rather; and so some copies read; for this is not the apostle's advice to young women in general, though it will suit with them, but with younger widows in particular, of whom he is speaking: bear children ; and bring them forth, and feed, and nourish them, and bring them up in a religious way: guide the house ; manage domestic affairs, direct, order, or do what is proper to be done for the good of the family;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:15

For some are already turned aside after Satan. Meaning some of those younger widows, whom the apostle knew, and had observed to have departed from the faith they first professed, and turned their backs on Christ, and gave themselves up to carnal lusts and pleasures, and an idle and impure life and conversation, walked according to the course of this world, and the prince of it, by whom they were led captive at his will; for so everyone that apostatizes from a profession of Christ, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:16

If any man or woman that believeth have widows ,.... That is, if any member of a church, whether a brother or a sister, have mothers or grandmothers, or any near relations widows, in mean circumstances, and incapable of taking care of themselves: let them relieve them ; out of their own substance; which is what the apostle before calls showing piety at home, and requiting their own parents: and let not the church be charged ; or burdened with the maintenance of them: that it may... read more

Let the elders that rule well ,.... By whom are meant not elders in age; though such ought to be honoured and respected, and to have a proper maintenance either from their children or the church, when reduced, and incapable of helping themselves; but then this is what should be done to all such persons, whereas the elders here are particularly described as good rulers and labourers in the word and doctrine; besides, elders in age are taken notice of before; nor are civil magistrates... read more

In Deuteronomy 25:4 thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn ; See Gill on 1 Corinthians 9:9 . See Gill on 1 Corinthians 9:10 . The ox, for its strength and labour, is a fit emblem of a Gospel minister; and its treading the corn out of the husk and ear aptly represents the beating out, as it were, of Gospel truths, by the ministers of it, their making the doctrines of the Gospel clear, plain, and evident to the understandings of men; wherefore, as the ox was not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:19

Against an elder receive not an accusation ,.... A charge of any crime: but before two or three witnesses ; good sufficient ones, who are capable of well attesting the fact: a charge against a pastor of a church is not to be easily received; it should not be listened to privately, unless it clearly appears by such a number of witnesses; nor should it be brought publicly before the church, until it is privately and previously proved, by a sufficient number of credible witnesses, that it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:20

Them that sin rebuke before all ,.... This the apostle adds to the above rule, to show that he was far from screening wicked ministers, or elders, guilty of flagitious crimes, and gross enormities: for these words, though they may be applied unto, and may hold good of all offenders, that are members of churches; yet they seem chiefly to regard elders, even such who sin, who continue to sin, who live in sin, in some notorious sin or another; which is evident and known, to the great scandal of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:21

I charge thee before God ,.... Who sees and knows all things, and is a righteous and most impartial Judge; with whom there is no respect of persons, and in whose place and stead, the judges of the earth, both civil and ecclesiastical, stand; and to whom they are accountable for the judgment they pass on men and things; and in whose house or church Timothy was, whose business he was doing, and which ought to be done, with a view to his glory; wherefore the apostle gives him this solemn charge... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:22

Lay hands suddenly on no man ,.... Which is not to be understood of removing censures from off offenders, upon their repentance, which should not be suddenly and hastily done; and which it seems in later times has been done by imposition of hands; but since no such custom obtained in the apostle's time, and a taking off of censures is never in Scripture signified by this phrase, it cannot be intended here; but rather the admission of persons into the work of the ministry, and the installing... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:23

Drink no longer water ,.... Though it was commendable in him to keep under his body, as the apostle did, by abstemious living, and not pamper the flesh and encourage the lusts of it, and so preserve purity and chastity; yet it was proper that he should take care of his health, that it was not impaired by too much severity, and so he be incapable of doing the work of the Lord. And it seems by this, that his long and only use of water for his drink had been prejudicial to his health: wherefore... read more
