This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Ti 5:3. Χήρας, widows) Chrysostom speaks at great length of widows, de Sacerd., p. 166, et seqq.-τίμα, honour) by acts of kindness, 1Ti 5:17-18.-ὄντως χήρας, widows indeed) Ploce;[39] the word indeed excludes those who have children or live luxuriously (1Ti 5:6).
[39] A word put twice, first in the simple sense, afterwards to express an attribute of the simple word. Widows, in the second instance here, means one who realizes the description given in ver. 5.-ED.
