This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Ver. 7. And these things enjoin, in order that they may be without reproach—namely, the parties referred to in the preceding statements—widows more particularly, but along with them also the families which belonged to some of them. They are consequently supposed to be connected with the Christian community, and to be ready to listen to sound instruction. In the next verse, however, a class of characters is noticed that are expressly declared to be unworthy of the Christian name.
