1 Timotheus 5:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Timothy 5:7

And these things give in charge
Concerning rebuking persons of a different age and sex, and concerning the maintenance of widows; and particularly that children provide for their parents when helpless; and that widows trust in God, and give themselves to prayer and supplication, and not live in sin:

that they may be blameless;
before men, and in the view of the world, and not be chargeable with any notorious crime; though none are without blame in themselves, and before God, but as considered in Christ Jesus.

6 Welche aber in Wollüsten lebt, die ist lebendig tot.
7 Solches gebiete, auf daß sie untadelig seien.
8 So aber jemand die Seinen, sonderlich seine Hausgenossen, nicht versorgt, der hat den Glauben verleugnet und ist ärger denn ein Heide.
9 Laß keine Witwe erwählt werden unter sechzig Jahren, und die da gewesen sei eines Mannes Weib,
