1 Timothy 5:16
_ _ If any ... have widows — of his family, however related to him. Most of the oldest manuscripts and versions omit “man or,” and read, “If any woman that believeth.” But the Received text seems preferable. If, however, the weightiest authorities are to prevail, the sense will be: He was speaking of younger widows; He now says, If any believing young widow have widows related to her needing support, let her relieve them, thereby casing the Church of the burden, 1 Timothy 5:3, 1 Timothy 5:4 (there it was the children and grandchildren; here it is the young widow, who, in order to avoid the evils of idleness and wantonness, the result of idleness, 1 Timothy 5:11, 1 Timothy 5:13; Ezekiel 16:49, is to be diligent in good works, such as “relieving the afflicted,” 1 Timothy 5:10, thus qualifying herself for being afterwards a widow-presbyteress).
_ _ let them — rather as Greek, “let him,” or “her”; “let such a one” (1 Timothy 5:10).
_ _ be charged — literally, “be burdened” with their support.
_ _ widows indeed — really helpless and friendless (1 Timothy 5:3, 1 Timothy 5:4). |
1 Timothy 5:16
(13) If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
(13) The sixth rule: let the faithful help their widows at their own expense as much as they can, and do not let the congregation be burdened with these expenses. |
- let them:
1 Timothy 5:4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
|
- widows indeed:
1 Timothy 5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
1 Timothy 5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
