提摩太前書 5:2 CUNPTS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

Timothy's demeanor toward men and women was now described, and demands careful study and attention. As for men, seniors are to be treated with respect, while the younger men are to be treated as brethren. Of women, he is to treat the elder as mothers, and the younger as sisters. The large section devoted to widows indicated peculiar local conditions and dangers. Hence the careful instructions. At verse 1Ti 5:17 we find the term "elders" used in a more specific sense, referring undoubtedly to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-2

‘Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, the younger men as brothers, the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, in all purity.’ Timothy is to see the whole church as one family and behave accordingly. While he is to exhort them, he is not to behave arrogantly and berate them but is to act with graciousness towards them, treating the older man as his father, younger men as his brothers, older women as his mothers, and younger women as his sisters. (Thus he is to honour... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-8

Christians Form The Household of God And Should Treat One Another With Respect And As Family. They Should Therefore See To The Needs Of Their Ageing Parents While The Church As Family Must See To Widows Who Have No Children And Who Reveal Their Family Oneness By Regular Attendance At Prayer (1 Timothy 5:1-8 ). Here the church is seen as a household, compare 1 Timothy 3:15. It is seen as the family of God (compare Matthew 12:49-50), and should reveal reciprocal love. Thus Timothy, in dealings... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

Paul Now Gives A More Detailed Account of What Timothy’s Ministry Will Involve (1 Timothy 4:1 to 1 Timothy 6:10 ). It is interesting how much the second half of this letter is patterned on the first. Both sections commence with an account of false teachers (1 Timothy 1:3-11; 1 Timothy 4:1-5). This is followed by a requirement for faithful service (Paul in 1 Timothy 1:12-15; Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:6-11) and for an example to be given to others (by Paul in 1 Timothy 1:16; by Timothy in 1... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Timothy 5:2

The elder women as mothers; the same prudence also is to be used to matrons and aged women. The younger as sisters; yea, and to younger women too, considering our relation and equality in Christ. With all purity; only as to them, (considering their sex), a further gravity and prudence is to be used, that we give no occasion to lust, or unclean motions. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to First Timothy chapter five? Paul is a spiritual father to Timothy, Timothy's mentor. He looks upon him as a son; in fact, he calls him his son in the faith. Timothy has been left in Ephesus to oversee the church that Paul established there. While he is in Ephesus, Paul wrote to him this epistle. And in this epistle, he seeks to instruct Timothy in things of the church.In a Bible doctrine class in seminary, you would have a subject known as Ecclesiology. And... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Timothy 5:1-25

1 Timothy 5:1 . Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father. Job’s three princely friends not only mistook his case, but were severe in their reprehensions; and were themselves reprehended of the Lord. Shem and Japhet, on the contrary, covered the error of their father, and obtained a blessing. Noah’s error was solitary, and for the moment, probably ignorant of the power of new wine. It was a spot, but it superseded not his honour as a patriarch, and was only a momentary eclipse of his... read more

1 Timothy 5:1-2Rebuke not an elder.Christian reproofsI. The necessity and the nature of Christian reproof are both suggested. Though age was always to be reverenced, even those in advanced life were to be rebuked when their conduct was inconsistent with their Christian profession. This requires not only a sincere regard for our brother’s welfare, but also at times considerable moral courage. Some find it by no means easy to point out faults even to their own children; but they fairly tremble at... read more
