15 Porque ya algunas han vuelto atrás en pos de Satanás

1 Timoteo 5:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 5:15

For some are already turned aside after Satan.
] Meaning some of those younger widows, whom the apostle knew, and had observed to have departed from the faith they first professed, and turned their backs on Christ, and gave themselves up to carnal lusts and pleasures, and an idle and impure life and conversation, walked according to the course of this world, and the prince of it, by whom they were led captive at his will; for so everyone that apostatizes from a profession of Christ, and follows either false teachers, and their doctrines, as the Gnostics, that condemned marriage, or any sinful and impure way of life, may be said to turn aside after Satan; and as that apostle knew this to be fact, from his own observation, he therefore gives the above advice.

1 Timoteo 5:15 In-Context

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

15 Porque ya algunas han vuelto atrás en pos de Satanás

16 Si algún fiel o alguna fiel tiene viudas, manténgalas, y no sea gravada la Iglesia; a fin de que haya lo suficiente para las que de verdad son viudas

17 Los ancianos que gobiernan bien, sean tenidos por dignos de doble honra; mayormente los que trabajan en predicar y enseñar
