1 Timothée 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

Ver. 1. Rebuke not an elder
By whom is meant, not an elder1 Timothy 5:2

The elder women as mothers
When they offend in any point, they are to be reasoned, and argued, and pleaded with, as children should with their mothers; see ( Hosea 2:2 ) and are to be considered as mothers in Israel, and to be treated with great tenderness and respect. The younger as sisters;
using the freedom as a brother may with a sister; and considering them as sisters in Christ, and in a way becoming the relation, tell them their faults freely and privately, but with all purity:
in such manner as to preserve chastity in looks, in words, and actions.

1 Timothée 5:1 In-Context

1 Ne reprends pas rudement le vieillard; mais exhorte-le comme un père; les jeunes gens comme des frères;
2 Les femmes âgées comme des mères; les jeunes comme des sœurs, en toute pureté.
3 Honore les veuves qui sont véritablement veuves.
4 Mais si une veuve a des enfants, ou des enfants de ses enfants, qu'ils apprennent premièrement à exercer leur piété envers leur propre famille, et à rendre à leurs parents ce qu'ils ont reçu d'eux; car cela est bon et agréable à Dieu.
5 Or, celle qui est véritablement veuve et qui est demeurée seule, espère en Dieu et persévère nuit et jour dans les prières et les oraisons.
