1 Timotius 5:8
Konteks5:8 But if someone does not provide for his own, 1 especially his own family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timotius 5:17
Konteks5:17 Elders who provide effective leadership 2 must be counted worthy 3 of double honor, 4 especially those who work hard in speaking 5 and teaching.
1 Timotius 6:12
Konteks6:12 Compete well 6 for the faith and lay hold of that eternal life you were called for and made your good confession 7 for 8 in the presence of many witnesses.
[5:8] 1 tn That is, “his own relatives.”
[5:17] 2 tn Grk “who lead well.”
[5:17] 4 tn Like the similar use of “honor” in v. 3, this phrase
denotes both respect and remuneration: “honor plus honorarium.”
[5:17] 5 tn Or “in preaching”; Grk “in word.”
[6:12] 6 tn This phrase literally means “compete in the good competition of the faith,” using words that may refer to a race or to a boxing or wrestling match: “run the good race” or “fight the good fight.” The similar phrase in 1 Tim 1:18 uses a military picture and is more literally “war the good warfare.”
[6:12] 7 sn At some point in Timothy’s life, he publicly acknowledged Jesus as the resurrected Lord, perhaps either at his baptism or his ordination as a minister of the gospel. With this reminder of the historical moment of his good confession, Timothy is encouraged to remain steadfast in his faith and to finish his life as a minister in the same way it began (see G. W. Knight, Pastoral Epistles [NIGTC], 264-65).
