This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Ti 5:11. Παραιτοῦ, refuse) Do not take up their case. The same word occurs, Tit 3:10 (reject, παραιτοῦ).-ὅταν γὰρ καταστρηνιάσωσι τοῦ Χριστοῦ) when they have begun to wax wanton (to indulge in luxury) against Christ, viz. with regard to ecclesiastical benefits. The genitive is governed by κατὰ; what στρῆνος is, see Rev 18:3 (“The abundance,” or “power,” of her delicacies, στρήνους). Extravagance (wantonness) and Christ are by no means compatible.-τοῦ Χριστοῦ, Christ) to whom they had entirely devoted themselves.-θέλουσιν, they will) the matter being no longer undecided.
