📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

First Timothy 5 gives practical instruction on relationships within the church, urging Timothy to treat older men as fathers, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters with all purity, and to honor widows who are truly widows. It lays out rules for the church's support of widows—preferring that families care for their own, enrolling only godly widows over sixty, and refusing younger widows prone to idleness—and affirms that elders who rule well, especially those who labor in the word, are worthy of double honor. The chapter closes with guidance against receiving an accusation against an elder without two or three witnesses, with Timothy told to use a little wine for his stomach's sake, and with the reminder that some sins are manifest beforehand and some follow after.
