1 Timoteo 5:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 12 Having damnation]
Not for their second marriage, but for their wantonness against Christ, or their sinful and luxurious way of living, contrary to the Gospel of Christ: and this is to be understood not of eternal damnation, which cannot, with propriety, be said to be had now; but either of the reproach and scandal cast upon them, and religion, for their wantonness; or the judgment and censure of the church for the same; or having sin, and the guilt of sin upon them, in which sense the word is used, ( Romans 5:16 ) .

Because they have cast off their first faith;
or that faith which they first professed, even the doctrine of faith; which they may be said to cast off, because they walked not according to it, their conversation was not becoming their profession of it; and though they continued to profess the same faith they did in words, yet in works they denied it, or cast it off; for which reason they fell under the notice, judgment, and condemnation of the church, as well as exposed themselves to the reproach of men.

1 Timoteo 5:12 In-Context

10 quando sia conosciuta per le sue buone opere: per avere allevato figliuoli, esercitato l’ospitalità, lavato i piedi ai santi, soccorso gli afflitti, concorso ad ogni opera buona.

11 Ma rifiuta le vedove più giovani, perché, dopo aver lussureggiato contro Cristo, vogliono maritarsi,

12 e sono colpevoli perché hanno rotta la prima fede;

13 ed oltre a ciò imparano ad essere oziose, andando attorno per le case; e non soltanto ad esser oziose, ma anche cianciatrici e curiose, parlando di cose delle quali non si deve parlare.

14 Io voglio dunque che le vedove giovani si maritino, abbiano figliuoli, governino la casa, non diano agli avversari alcuna occasione di maldicenza,
