1Timothy 5:1,2 Rebuke not an elder but intreat him as a father and the younger men as brethren. Treat the elder women as mothers, the younger as sisters, with all purity.(don't be out to get into their pants).

1Timothy 5:3,4 Honour widows that are widows indeed. But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to show piety at home and to requite their parents. For that is good and acceptable before God.

1Timothy 5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed.(a widow indeed:.Luke 2:36-38).and desolate.(original for 'desolate' is 'alone', that is, not dating and thus not having a man), trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.

What does night and day mean here?

1Timothy 5:6 But she that lives in pleasure.(lives for the voluptuous life).is dead while she lives.

1Timothy 5:7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

1Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel.

Avoid being a no good bum. And that applies also to those who have lots, but who fail to stand up for themselves and their family members, such as by not knuckling under to covid nonsense. They need to learn what it means to be a lion.

1Timothy 5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number.(the number of those widows in the early church who deeply regard spiritual things, were provided for by the church).under threescore years old.(60 years old; why? verse 11 below), having been the wife.(original is 'woman').of one man,

That is, one man at a time. In other words not a 'run around'.

1Timothy 5:10 Well reported of for good works, if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

1Timothy 5:11 But the younger widows refuse for when they have begun to wax wanton.(original means 'to awaken to a life that seems delicious to them and leaving behind their previous mindset of the importance of God in their lives', like teeners who awaken to their hormones and follow them, leaving all else of importance behind {they usually come back}).against Christ, they will marry.

What is of importance to the younger women was a physical relationship.

1Timothy 5:12 Having damnation because they have cast off their first faith..(?)

1Timothy 5:13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house and not only idle, but tattlers.(bubblers, excited to explain the plans and activities of others; gossiping).also and busybodies.(meddling or prying into the affairs of others), speaking things which they ought not.(gossipers).

1Timothy 5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

Learn to live as ancient Daniel did, in such a way as no one could rail against him:.Daniel 6:1-6.

1Timothy 5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

Paul regarded two directions a person could take; one being devoted to God and the other, a sideways looking at what's the world got for me out there? A few of those today having turned to Satan are revealed here.

1Timothy 5:16,17 If any man or woman that believes have widows let them relieve them and let not the church be charged, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 

1Timothy 5:18 For the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treads out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 

1Timothy 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, unless it's provided by two or three witnesses. 

1Timothy 5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

1Timothy 5:21 I charge thee before God and the Lord Emmanuel the Christ and the elect angels.(as compared to other angels that left their first estate:.Jude 1:6).that you observe these things without preferring one before another and doing nothing by partiality.

Caring for some more than others, because of a selfish advantage you expect.

1Timothy 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep yourself pure.

Don't be quick to allow another into your circle of friends. Don't be too quick to be in agreement with others until you know if they have evil intentions or not. Get to know others well before accepting or rejecting them:.Revelation 18:4. This could take up to a year. Always keep yourself pure, how:.Jude 1:21.

1Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your often infirmities.

1Timothy 5:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand going before to judgment and some men they follow after.

Luke 8:17.

1Timothy 5:25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand, and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
