rwp @1Timothy:5:1 @{Rebuke not an elder } (\presbuter i m epipl x is \). Dative case \presbuter i \ used in the usual sense of an older man , not a minister (bishop as in strkjv @3:2 |) as is shown by "as a father ." First aorist (ingressive ) active subjunctive with negative \m \ (prohibition against committing the act ) of \epipl ss \, to strike upon , old verb , but here only in N .T . and in figurative sense with words rather than with fists . Respect for age is what is here commanded , an item appropriate to the present time . {The younger men as brethren } (\ne terous h s adelphous \). Comparative adjective \ne teros \ from \neos \ (young ). No article , "younger men ." Wise words for the young minister to know how to conduct himself with old men (reverence ) and young men (fellowship , but not stooping to folly with them ). rwp @1Timothy:5:2 @{The elder women as mothers } (\presbuteras h s m teras \). Anarthrous again , "older women as mothers ." Respect and reverence once more . {The younger as sisters , in all purity } (\ne teras h s adelphas en pas i hagni i \). Anarthrous also and comparative form as in verse 1 |. See strkjv @4:12 | for \hagnia \. No sort of behavior will so easily make or mar the young preacher as his conduct with young women . rwp @1Timothy:5:3 @{That are widows indeed } (\tas ont s ch ras \). For \ont s \ (actually , really ), see strkjv @Luke:23:47 ; strkjv @1Corinthians:14:25 |; and verse 5 |. For widows (\ch ra \) see strkjv @Mark:12:40 ,42 ; strkjv @Acts:6:1 ; strkjv @1Corinthians:7:8 |. Parry notes that in verses 3-8 | Paul discusses widows who are in distress and 9-16 | those who are in the employment of the local church for certain work . Evidently , as in Acts strkjv @6:1-6 |, so here in Ephesus there had arisen some trouble over the widows in the church . Both for individual cases of need and as a class Timothy is to show proper respect (\tim \, keep on honouring ) the widows . rwp @1Timothy:5:4 @{Grandchildren } (\ekgona \). Old word from \ekginomai \, here only in N .T . {Let them learn } (\manthanet san \). The children and grandchildren of a widow . Present active imperative third person plural of \manthan \. "Let them keep on learning ." {First } (\pr ton \). Adverb , first before anything else . No "corban " business here . No acts of "piety " toward God will make up for impiety towards parents . {To shew piety } (\eusebein \). Present active infinitive with \manthanet san \ and old verb , in N .T . only here and strkjv @Acts:17:23 |. From \euseb s \ (\eu , sebomai \), pious , dutiful . {Their own family } (\ton idion oikon \). "Their own household ." Filial piety is primary unless parents interfere with duty to Christ (Luke:14:26 |). {To requite } (\amoibas apodidonai \). Present active infinitive of \apodid mi \, to give back , old and common verb (Romans:2:6 |), to keep on giving back . \Amoibas \ (from \ameibomai \, to requite like for like ) is old and common word , but here only in N .T . {Their parents } (\tois progonois \). Dative case of old and common word \progonos \ (from \proginomai \, to come before ), "ancestor ." In N .T . only here and strkjv @2Timothy:1:3 |. See strkjv @2:3 | for "acceptable " (\apodekton \). rwp @1Timothy:5:5 @{Desolate } (\memon men \). Perfect passive participle of \mono \ (from \monos \), "left alone ," old verb , here alone in N .T . Without husband , children , or other close kin . {Hath her hope set on God } (\lpiken epi theon \). Perfect active indicative of \elpiz \, "hath placed her hope (and keeps it ) on God ." Text doubtful whether God (\theon \) or Lord (\Kurion \). {Continues } (\prosmenei \). See on ¯1:3 |. With dative case here . {Night and day } (\nuktos kai h meras \). "By night and by day " (genitive , not accusative ). Paul does not say that she should pray "all night and day ." rwp @1Timothy:5:6 @{She that giveth herself to pleasure } (\h spatal sa \). Present active participle of \splatala \, late verb (Polybius ) from \spatal \ (riotous , luxurious living ). In N .T . only here and strkjv @James:5:5 |.
