1 Timothy 3:4
_ _ ruleth — Greek, “presiding over.”
_ _ his own house — children and servants, as contrasted with “the church” (house) of God (1 Timothy 3:5, 1 Timothy 3:15) which he may be called on to preside over.
_ _ having his children — rather as Greek, “having children (who are) in subjection” (Titus 1:6).
_ _ gravity — propriety: reverent modesty on the part of the children [Alford]. The fact that he has children who are in subjection to him in all gravity, is the recommendation in his favor as one likely to rule well the Church. |
1 Timothy 3:4
Having his children in subjection with all seriousness — For levity undermines all domestic authority; and this direction, by a parity of reason, belongs to all parents. |
