Robertson Word Pictures - 1 Timothy 5:2 - 5:2


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

The elder women as mothers (presbuteras hōs mēteras). Anarthrous again, “older women as mothers.” Respect and reverence once more.

The younger as sisters, in all purity (neōteras hōs adelphas en pasēi hagniāi). Anarthrous also and comparative form as in 1Ti 5:1. See note on 1Ti 4:12 for hagnia. No sort of behavior will so easily make or mar the young preacher as his conduct with young women.
