1 Timothée 5:12

12 et se rendent coupables en ce qu'elles violent leur premier engagement.

1 Timothée 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 Timothée 5:12 In-Context

10 qu'elle soit recommandable par de bonnes oeuvres, ayant élevé des enfants, exercé l'hospitalité, lavé les pieds des saints, secouru les malheureux, pratiqué toute espèce de bonne oeuvre.

11 Mais refuse les jeunes veuves; car, lorsque la volupté les détache du Christ, elles veulent se marier,

12 et se rendent coupables en ce qu'elles violent leur premier engagement.

13 Avec cela, étant oisives, elles apprennent à aller de maison en maison; et non seulement elles sont oisives, mais encore causeuses et intrigantes, disant ce qu'il ne faut pas dire.

14 Je veux donc que les jeunes se marient, qu'elles aient des enfants, qu'elles dirigent leur maison, qu'elles ne donnent à l'adversaire aucune occasion de médire;
