1 Timothy 5:16 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Timothy 5:16

14 Therefore I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

15 For some have already turned aside after Satan.

16 If any believing¹ man or woman has widows, let them² relieve them, and do not let the church be burdened, that it may relieve those who are really widows.

Honor the Elders

17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

18 For the Scripture says, ^a“You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain,” and, ^b“The laborer is worthy of his wages.”
