1 Timoteo 5:12

12 Teniendo ya condenación, por haber falseado su primera fe

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 en buenas obras; si crió bien sus hijos; si ha ejercitado la hospitalidad; si ha lavado los pies de los santos; si ha socorrido a los afligidos; si ha seguido toda buena obra

11 Pero viudas más jóvenes no admitas, porque después de hacerse licenciosas contra Cristo, quieren casarse

12 Teniendo ya condenación, por haber falseado su primera fe

13 Tampoco admitas las ociosas, enseñadas a andar de casa en casa; y no solamente ociosas, sino también parleras y curiosas, hablando lo que no conviene

14 Quiero pues, que las que son jóvenes se casen, críen hijos, gobiernen la casa; que ninguna ocasión den al adversario para maldecir
