1 Timothy 5:12
_ _ Having — Bringing on themselves, and so having to bear as a burden (Galatians 5:10) judgment from God (compare 1 Timothy 3:6), weighing like a load on them.
_ _ cast off their first faith — namely, pledged to Christ and the service of the Church. There could be no hardship at the age of sixty or upwards in not marrying again (end of 1 Timothy 5:9), for the sake of serving better the cause of Christ as presbyteresses; though, to ordinary widows, no barrier existed against remarriage (1 Corinthians 7:39). This is altogether distinct from Rome’s unnatural vows of celibacy in the case of young marriageable women. The widow-presbyteresses, moreover, engaged to remain single, not as though single life were holier than married life (according to Rome’s teaching), but because the interests of Christ’s cause made it desirable (see on 1 Timothy 3:2). They had pledged “their first faith” to Christ as presbyteress widows; they now wish to transfer their faith to a husband (compare 1 Corinthians 7:32, 1 Corinthians 7:34). |
1 Timothy 5:12
They have rejected their first faith — Have deserted their trust in God, and have acted contrary to the first conviction, namely, that wholly to devote themselves to his service was the most excellent way. When we first receive power to believe, does not the Spirit of God generally point out what are the most excellent things; and at the same time, give us an holy resolution to walk in the highest degree of Christian severity? And how unwise are we ever to sink into anything below it! |

- their:
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Revelation 2:4-5 Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. ... Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
