1 Timóteo 5:12

12 Assim elas trazem condenação sobre si, por haverem rompido seu primeiro compromisso.

1 Timóteo 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 Timóteo 5:12 In-Context

10 e seja bem conhecida por suas boas obras, tais como criar filhos, ser hospitaleira, lavar os pés dos santos, socorrer os atribulados e dedicar-se a todo tipo de boa obra.

11 Não inclua nessa lista as viúvas mais jovens, pois, quando os seus desejos sensuais superam a sua dedicação a Cristo, querem se casar.

12 Assim elas trazem condenação sobre si, por haverem rompido seu primeiro compromisso.

13 Além disso, aprendem a ficar ociosas, andando de casa em casa; e não se tornam apenas ociosas, mas também fofoqueiras e indiscretas, falando coisas que não devem.

14 Portanto, aconselho que as viúvas mais jovens se casem, tenham filhos, administrem suas casas e não deem ao inimigo nenhum motivo para maledicência.
