241TI15myi50Now

This word is used here to mark a break in the main teaching. Here Paul explains the purpose of what he is commanding Timothy.

251TI15l7un0the commandment

Here this does not mean the Old Testament or the Ten Commandments but rather the instructions that Paul gives in 1 Timothy 1:3 and 1 Timothy 1:4.

301TI16j4z3figs-metaphor0Some people have missed the mark

Paul speaks of faith in Christ as if it were a target at which to aim. Paul means that some people are not fulfilling the purpose of their faith, which is to love as he just explained in 1:5. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

711TI119h2wkfigs-metaphor0some have shipwrecked their faith

Paul speaks of these people's faith as if it were a ship that could be wrecked at sea. He means that they have ruined their faith and no longer believe in Jesus. You should use this or a similar metaphor if it will be understood in the project language. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

721TI120pv7ftranslate-names0Hymenaeus ... Alexander

These are names of men. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])

731TI120ty7nfigs-metaphor0whom I gave over to Satan

Paul speaks as if he physically handed these men to Satan. This probably means that Paul rejected them from the community of believers. Since they are no longer a part of the community, Satan can have power over them and harm them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

941TI28a8410men in every place
951TI28unw60lift up holy hands

It was a normal posture for people to raise their hands while praying.

961TI29au5cfigs-doublet0with modesty and self-control

Both of these words mean basically the same thing. Paul is emphasizing that women should wear clothes that are appropriate and do not attract improper attention from men. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

1151TI31f1330a good work

1161TI32dff60husband of one wife

An overseer must have only one wife. It is unclear if this excludes men who have been previously widowed or divorced, or never married.

1171TI32qnq90He must be moderate, sensible, orderly, and hospitable

He must not do anything to excess, must be reasonable and behave well, and must be friendly to strangers

1181TI33c2c70He must not be addicted to wine, not a brawler, but instead, gentle, peaceful

He must neither drink too much alcohol nor like to fight and argue, but instead he must be gentle and peaceful

1301TI38z1gd0Connecting Statement:

Paul gives some special instructions on how the deacons of the church and their wives should act and be.

1311TI38nz2w0Deacons, likewise

Deacons, like overseers

1321TI38sxq4figs-metaphor0should be dignified, not double-talkers

This means other believers should evaluate those who want to be a deacon and determine if they are fit to serve in the church.

1381TI311xyc90Women in the same way
1391TI311q5qx0be dignified

They must not speak evil about other people

1411TI311akm50be moderate and
1421TI312wji20husbands of one wife

A man must have only one wife. It is unclear if this excludes men who have been previously widowed, divorced, or never married. See how you translated this in 1 Timothy 3:2.

1431TI312dv310manage well their children and household

properly take care of and lead their children and others who live in their homes

Possible meanings are 1) they will trust in Jesus with even more confidence or 2) they will speak confidently to other people about their faith in Jesus.

Here this expression may be speaking of God as the one who gives life to all, as in the UST.

1541TI316ak8w0We all agree

No one can deny

1551TI316w4730that the mystery of godliness is great

that the truth that God has revealed is great

1561TI316y8spwriting-poetry0He appeared ... up in glory

This is most likely a song or poem that Paul is quoting. If your language has a way of indicating that this is poetry you could use it here. If not, you could translate this as regular prose rather than poetry. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry]])

1571TI316m4xi0He appeared
1581TI316rqp6figs-metonymy0in the flesh

This means he received power from God the Father and he is worthy of honor.

1 Timothy 05 General Notes

Special concepts in this chapter

Honor and respect

Paul encourages younger Christians to honor and respect older Christians. Cultures honor and respect older people in different ways.

Widows

In the ancient Near East, it was important to care for widows, because they could not provide for themselves.

2101TI51wt5yfigs-you0General Information:
2111TI51h7d10Connecting Statement:

Paul continues to tell Timothy how to treat the men, women, widows, and younger women in the church.

2131TI51dnf20Instead, exhort him

2341TI59s8ql0be enrolled as a widow

There seems to have been a list, written or not, of widows. The church members met these women's needs for shelter, clothing, and food, and these women were expected to devote their lives to serving the Christian community.

2351TI59i27xtranslate-numbers0who is not younger than sixty

As Paul will explain in 5:11-16, widows who were younger than 60 years old might get married again. Therefore the Christian community was to care only for widows who were older than 60. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

2361TI59q9dj0a wife of one husband

Possible meanings are 1) she was always faithful to her husband or 2) she had not divorced her husband then married another man.

2431TI511rv5h0But as for younger widows, refuse to enroll them in the list
2441TI511vqq90For when they give in to bodily desires against Christ, they want to marry

For when they prefer to fulfill their sensual desires and get married, they go against their promise to serve Christ as widows

2451TI512nha70revoke their first commitment
2461TI512k9nz0commitment

The commitment of the widows was their agreement to serve the Christian community for the rest of their lives if the community would supply the widows' needs.

2481TI513nll40talk nonsense and are busybodies, saying things they should not say

These three phrases are probably three ways of speaking of the same activity. These people should not be looking into other people's private lives and telling about them to others who are no better off after hearing.
