rwp@1Timothy:5:14 @{I desire} (\boulomai\). See 2:8|. {The younger widows} (\ne“teras\).

A compound verb here only in N.T. and nowhere else save in Anthol. See \teknogonia\ in 2:15|. {Rule the household} (\oikodespotein\). Late verb from \oikodespotˆs\ (Mark:14:14|), twice in the papyri, only here in N.T. Note that the wife is here put as ruler of the household, proper recognition of her influence, "new and improved position" (Liddon) . {Occasion} (\aphormˆn\). Old word (\apo, hormˆ\), a base to rush from, Pauline use in kjv@2Corinthians:5:12; 11:12; kjv@Galatians:5:13|. {To the adversary} (\t“i antikeimen“i\).
