1 Timoteo 5:1

Listen to 1 Timoteo 5:1
1 Non riprendere aspramente l’uomo anziano, ma esortalo come un padre;

1 Timoteo 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 Timoteo 5:1 In-Context

1 Non riprendere aspramente l’uomo anziano, ma esortalo come un padre;
2 i giovani, come fratelli; le donne anziane, come madri; le giovani, come sorelle, con ogni castità.
3 Onora le vedove che son veramente vedove.
4 Ma se una vedova ha dei figliuoli o de’ nipoti, imparino essi prima a mostrarsi pii verso la propria famiglia e a rendere il contraccambio ai loro genitori, perché questo è accettevole nel cospetto di Dio.
5 Or la vedova che è veramente tale e sola al mondo, ha posto la sua speranza in Dio, e persevera in supplicazioni e preghiere notte e giorno;
The Riveduta Bible is in the public domain.
