Chapter 5

In Verse 1-2 was Paul talking to Timothy and giving him basic standards on how he should treat older men and women and not only that but younger ones also and treating them as they are his family.

In Verse 3-16. Paul was giving Timothy the standards on how to treat widows in the church both the old and the young. Giving them the principles to handle them and what should be done to them.

In Verse 17-21. Paul was addressing the need for the church to treat elders well in an appreciative manner of the work they are doing most especially those who preach and teach that they should be given double honour. He was also addressing the need for us not to be in a hurry to accept the accusations laid down against an elder except it is established by two or three witnesses.

In Verse 21-25. Not only that but the bible was trying to point out the need for us to not show favouritism and the need to properly and carefully choose people who will serve as leaders. We should not be in a hurry to appoint someone as church leader. We should always remember that good deeds done in secret will someday come to light.
