COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1. an elder — in age; probably not an elder in the ministry; these latter are not mentioned till 1 Timothy 5:17 , "the elders that rule." Compare 1 Timothy 5:17- : , "your old men," literally, "elders." Contrasted with "the younger men." As Timothy was admonished so to conduct himself as to give no man reason to despise his youth ( 1 Timothy 4:12 ); so here he is told to bear in mind his youth, and to behave with the modesty which becomes a young man in relation to his elders. Rebuke not —literally, "Strike not hard upon"; Rebuke not sharply: a different word from "rebuke" in 1 Timothy 4:12- : . entreat —exhort. as brethren —and therefore equals; not lording it over them ( 1 Timothy 4:12- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
