1 Timoteo 5:12

12 incurriendo así en condenación, por haber abandonado su promesa anterior.

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 que tenga testimonio de buenas obras; si ha criado hijos, si ha mostrado hospitalidad a extraños, si ha lavado los pies de los santos, si ha ayudado a los afligidos y si se ha consagrado a toda buena obra.

11 Pero rehúsa poner en la lista a viudas más jóvenes, porque cuando sienten deseos sensuales, contrarios a Cristo, se quieren casar,

12 incurriendo así en condenación, por haber abandonado su promesa anterior.

13 Y además, aprenden a estar ociosas, yendo de casa en casa; y no sólo ociosas, sino también charlatanas y entremetidas, hablando de cosas que no son dignas.

14 Por tanto, quiero que las viudas más jóvenes se casen, que tengan hijos, que cuiden su casa y no den al adversario ocasión de reproche.
