Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

1-TIMOTHY 5:1

6 of 25

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

1-TIMOTHY 5:2

7 of 25

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

1-TIMOTHY 5:3

8 of 25

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

1-TIMOTHY 5:4

9 of 25

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

1-TIMOTHY 5:5

10 of 25

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

1-TIMOTHY 5:6

11 of 25

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

1-TIMOTHY 5:7

12 of 25

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1-TIMOTHY 5:8

13 of 25

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

1-TIMOTHY 5:9

14 of 25

Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

1-TIMOTHY 5:10

15 of 25

But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

1-TIMOTHY 5:11

16 of 25

Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

1-TIMOTHY 5:12

17 of 25

And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

1-TIMOTHY 5:13

18 of 25

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

1-TIMOTHY 5:14

19 of 25

For some are already turned aside after Satan.

1-TIMOTHY 5:15

20 of 25

If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

1-TIMOTHY 5:16

21 of 25

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

1-TIMOTHY 5:17

22 of 25

For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

1-TIMOTHY 5:18

23 of 25

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

1-TIMOTHY 5:19

24 of 25

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

1-TIMOTHY 5:20

25 of 25

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

1-TIMOTHY 5:21

26 of 25

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

1-TIMOTHY 5:22

27 of 25

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

1-TIMOTHY 5:23

28 of 25

Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

1-TIMOTHY 5:24

29 of 25

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

BIBLE CANON: 5

A biblical canon is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. Christians were the first to use the term in reference to scripture.

These bible canons have developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities.

W Biblical_canon

1. Marcion Canon | BIBLE CANON 140 AD
Marcionism was a religious movement based on the teachings of the 2nd-century Marcion of Sinope. Marcions Canon lists 14 books out of the 27 books in the New Testament. More specifically, these were Luke and Paul's 13 writings. Marcion even rejected the entire Old Testament of 39 books.

(No mention; no quotes; opinion unknown)

2. Muratorian Canon | BIBLE CANON 170 AD
The Muratorian Canon is an ancient list of New Testament books - the oldest such list we have found and lists 22 of the 27 books that were later included in the New Testament of the Christian Bible.

It is noteworthy that the Muratorian Canon omits several epistles that later did win acceptance in the Christian New Testament such as the books of James and 2 Peter.

4. Cheltenham/ Mommsen List | BIBLE CANON 360 AD
The Cheltenham or Mommsen List is a Latin manuscript discovered by the German classical scholar Theodor Mommsen (published 1886) which probably originated in North Africa in the 4th century.

It has 24-book Old Testament and 24-book New Testament which omits Jude and James, and perhaps Hebrews, and questions the epistles of John and Peter.

TEXTUAL CRITICISM

Was Paul the Author? Evidence
Today, it is assumed Paul is the author. However, it is known that Paul extensively used Scribes ('Amanuensis') to write his letters. Paul dictated his thoughts and the Scribe wrote the letter as they saw fit. Therefore, most of Paul's Epistles (letters) in the New Testament Bible are authored by unknown Scribes.

Paul had a troubling 'Thorn' Evidence
In his Corinthians letter, Paul speaks of a 'Thorn In My Flesh' troubling him. Bible scholars have 4 theories on the 'thorn':

Physical Sickness

Mental Illness

Spiritual Problem

Ministerial Opposition

2CORINTHIANS 12:7

brianchilton/thorn

blueletter/thorn

Paul had poor Eye-Sight Evidence
It is known that Paul used Scribes ('Amanuensis') to write his letters as he suffered from poor eye-sight and was unable to write. According to early sources, Paul was 'a short, bony, little Jew with constant running eyes from his eye problems, squinting with a very large angular nose'. studylight/commentaries

See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand [Paul's eyesight was defective and he needed help to write]

GALATIANS 6:11

As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you, and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself. Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

GALATIANS 4:13-15

Paul replied, Brothers, I did not know [due to bad eye-sight] that he was the high priest; for it is written: 'Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.'

ACTS 23:5

Church was aware of Paul's Eye-Sight problem Evidence
In Galatians, Paul confirms the Galatian Church was aware of his eye-sight problem. So much so, they would have 'plucked out their own eyes and given them to him' were it possible.

Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

GALATIANS 4:15

Paul used Scribes to write his Epistles (Letters) Evidence
Paul composed his letters in accordance with the writing conventions of his time. Scribes were essential as the skills required for writing with primitive pens and paper made writing legibly a challenge.

Tertius was one Roman Scribe ('Amanuensis') who wrote on behalf of Paul. Tertius wrote Paul's Epistles (letters), either from notes, ideas or direct from Paul's mouth. At the end of the Epistle (letter), Paul would conclude with personal greetings in his own writing. [John Gill's commentary]

Timothy is present as Paul and Tertius write Romans. Did Timothy have any influence over the final text? If so, what was that influence? Was any text in Romans written by Timothy? trivialdevotion/tertius

I, Tertius, the one writing this letter for Paul, send my greetings, too, as one of the Lord's followers

ROMANS 16:22

Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

COLOSSIANS 4:18

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write.

2THESSALONIANS 3:17

I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.

1CORINTHIANS 16:21

Timothy, my co-worker, sends his greetings to you, as do Lucius, Jason and Sosipater, my fellow Jews.
