### How was Timothy to treat older people?
|
||||
|
||||
[5:1, 5:2]
|
||||
|
||||
Paul told Timothy to respect older men and women in the same way he would respect a father or mother.
|
||||
Paul wrote Timothy not to “scold” an older man. That is, Timothy was not to speak harshly or disrespect an
|
||||
older man.

### How was Timothy to treat younger people?

[5;1, 5:2]
|
||||
|
||||
Paul told Timothy to treat younger people in the same way he treated his own brothers and sister.
|
||||
Particularly, Paul told Timothy to encourage younger women with all “purity.” That is, Timothy was to
|
||||
honor and to protect younger women. Also, Timothy was treat younger women with moral purity. That is,

### What was a “real widow”?
|
||||
|
||||
[5:3]
|
||||
|
||||
Any woman whose husband died was a “widow.” However, Paul was writing about a widow who did not
|
||||
have anyone to care for her and not a widow whose family was able to help her (see: 5:16). The church was
|
||||
to help only widows who had no one and nothing to help them.

**Advice to Translators**: Since every woman who has lost a husband is a widow, the translator needs to

make a way to say that this is a “widow who is in need of someone to care for her.”

### Why did Paul write that families need to care for a widowed mother or grandmother?
|

[5:4]
|

|
||||
Paul wrote that children and grandchildren need to “honor” the widows in their family. Also, they needed

to she had food and a place to live. If Christians cared for widows in their family, this was “pleasing to

God”.

Paul wrote that a widow “puts her certain hope in God.” Some scholars think Paul wrote about a widow

who placed her trust in God’s promises. She trusted God, not only for the promise to live with him in

heaven forever, but also that God would help her during her life. Other scholars think Paul described a

Paul wrote about certain widows as women who lived simply for their own “pleasure.” That is, they had a
|

lot of money and did what they thought would make them happy. He said they were “dead, even though
|

they were still alive.” That is, though they had life physically, they did not have spiritual life. That is, they

### Why did Paul write, “denied the faith”?

Paul wrote that people “denied the faith.” Scholars think Paul wrote to “deny” the faith to write about

### Why did Paul write “wife of one husband”?
|
||||

[5:9]
|
||||
|
||||
Paul wrote “wife of one husband.” This can also be written “a husband of one wife” (see: 3:2), “a woman
|
||||
of one man” or “of one husband.” Some scholars think Paul wrote about a woman who married only once.

Other scholars think Paul wrote about women who remained faithful to their husbands during their

In the ancient world, people washed the feet of people who came to their home. This honored the people

who came to their home. Usually, slaves or women did this (see: Genesis 18:4; 1 Samuel 25:41; John 13:4-

Paul wrote not to put the names of younger widows on the lits. Some scholars think Paul did not want to

help younger widows for a long time. However, they think Paul did want to help younger widows in some

way. Fewer scholars think Paul wrote not to give younger widows any help from the church.

Paul wrote for widows to “revoke their first commitment.” To “revoke” was used to talk about someone not

doing the things they said they would do. “Commitment”(πίστις/g4102) can also be translated as “faith.”

Scholars do not agree on why Paul wrote these words.

A “busybody” was a person who wanted to know things about other people. These were things they did not

need to know about these other people (see: 2 Thessalonians 3:11). This was a sin. It hurt the church.

same way, saying that an elder sinned is a serious thing. It must be seen by people who have seen the sin.

wrote him not to drink only water. Paul wrote Timothy to “take a little wine” as well as to drink water.

||||
