Greetings (1:1-2)\n2. Paul commands Timothy to tell people not to teach false doctrines (1:3-20)\n3. Paul gives instructions about how to re-establish order and decency in the church (2:1-15)\n4. Paul gives instructions about how to ensure that elders and deacons are properly qualified (3:1-13)\n5. Paul commands Timothy regarding his own personal conduct (3:14-5:2)\n6. Paul gives instructions to ensure church support for worthy widows (5:3-16) and elders (5:17-20)\n7. Paul commands Timothy that he must be impartial (5:21-25)\n8. Paul gives instructions to ensure order in master-servant relationships (6:1-2a)\n9. Paul commands Timothy regarding how he should teach and conduct himself (6:2b-16)\n10. Paul gives instructions for how people who are rich should live (6:17-19)\n11. Paul commands Timothy to guard what has been entrusted to his care (6:20-21a)\n12. Closing blessing to the whole church (6:21b)\n\n### Who wrote the Book of 1 Timothy?\n\nA man named Paul wrote 1 Timothy. Paul was from the city of Tarsus. He had been known as Saul in his early life. Before becoming a Christian, Paul was a Pharisee. He persecuted Christians. After he became a Christian, he traveled several times throughout the Roman Empire telling people about Jesus.\n\nPaul may have written other letters to Timothy, but this is the earliest one that we still have. That is why it is known as 1 Timothy or First Timothy. Timothy was Paul’s disciple and close friend. Paul probably wrote this letter near the end of his life.\n\n### What is the Book of 1 Timothy about?\n\nPaul had left Timothy in the city of Ephesus to help the believers there. Paul wrote this letter to instruct Timothy about various matters. The topics he addressed included church worship, qualifications for church leaders, and warnings against false teachers. This letter shows how Paul was training Timothy to be a leader among the churches while Timothy himself trained other leaders.\n\n### How should the title of this book be translated?\n\nTranslators may choose to call this book by its customary title, “1 Timothy” or “First Timothy.” Or they may choose a different title, such as “Paul’s First Letter to Timothy.” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-names]])\n\n## Part 2: Important Religious and Cultural Concepts\n\n### What is discipleship?\n\nDiscipleship is the process of making people to be disciples of Christ. The goal of discipleship is to encourage other Christians to be more like Christ. This letter gives many instructions about how a leader should train a less mature Christian. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/disciple]])\n\n## Part 3: Important Translation Issues\n\n### What did Paul mean by the expression “in Christ”?\n\nPaul meant to express the idea of a very close union with Christ and the believers. Please see the introduction to the Book of Romans for more details about this kind of expression.\n\n### What are the major textual issues in the text of the book of 1 Timothy?\n\nIn [6:5](../06/05.md), the oldest Greek manuscripts differ from later Greek manuscripts. Modern translations may also differ depending on the Greek manuscript that they translate from. The ULT text translates the Greek from the oldest manuscripts and puts the differences from later manuscripts in a footnote. If a translation of the Bible exists in the general region, translators should consider following the decision in that translation. If not, translators are advised to follow the oldest Greek manuscripts as reflected in the ULT text. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-textvariants]])
 1:intro	a4v2				0	# 1 Timothy 1 General Notes\n\n## Structure and formatting\n\nPaul formally introduces this letter in verses 1-2. Writers often began letters in this way in the ancient Near East.\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Spiritual children\n\nIn this chapter, Paul calls Timothy a “son” and his “child.” Paul discipled Timothy as a Christian and a church leader. Paul may also have led him to believe in Christ. Therefore, Paul called Timothy his “son in the faith.” (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/disciple]], [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/faith]] and [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/spirit]] and [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])\n\n### Metaphor\n\nIn this chapter Paul speaks figuratively of people who are not fulfilling the purpose of their faith as if they had “missed the mark” that they were aiming at, as if they had “turned away” down a wrong path, and as if they had been “shipwrecked.” He speaks figuratively of following Jesus faithfully as “fighting the good fight.”
 1:1	i3zz			Παῦλος	1	In the culture of this time, letter writers would give their own names first. Your language may have a particular way of introducing the author of a letter, and if it would be helpful to your readers, you could use it here. Immediately after introducing the writer, you might also want to indicate to whom the letter was written. Alternate translation: “I, Paul, am the one writing this letter to you, Timothy”
 1:1	xl6d			κατ’ ἐπιταγὴν Θεοῦ	1	Alternate translation: “by the authority of God”
 1:1	wb8j			Θεοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν	1	Alternate translation: “God, who saves us”

Alternate translations: “Christ Jesus, the one in whom we have confidence” or “Christ Jesus, whom we trust” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 1:2	pyi6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	γνησίῳ τέκνῳ	1	Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though they were father and **son**. This shows Paul’s sincere love and approval of Timothy. It is also likely that Paul personally led Timothy to trust in Christ. That would be another reason why Paul considered him to be like his own child, since Timothy entered his new life as a follower of Jesus because of Paul. Alternate translation: “who is truly like a son to me” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 1:2	rd5v			χάρις, ἔλεος, εἰρήνη	1	In this culture, letter writers would offer a good wish for the recipient before introducing the main business of the letter. Alternate translation: “I hope you are experiencing God’s kindness, mercy, and peace”
 1:2	p4lz		rc://*/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples	Θεοῦ Πατρὸς	1	Here, **Father** is an important title for God. Alternate translation: “God, who is our Father” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples]])

 1:3	k35a		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-yousingular	σε	1	In this letter, with one exception, the words **you**, **your**, and **yourself** refer to Timothy and so are singular. A note will discuss the one exception in [6:21](../06/21.md). (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-yousingular]])
 1:3	amp4			προσμεῖναι ἐν Ἐφέσῳ	1	Alternate translation: “wait for me there in the city of Ephesus”

 1:3	t113			τισὶν	1	Alternate translation: “certain people”
 1:3	v4g2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἑτεροδιδασκαλεῖν	1	The implication is that these people were not teaching in a different way, but teaching different things than what Paul and Timothy taught. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “a different doctrine from what we teach” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 1:4	pw2h			μύθοις	1	These **myths** were fanciful stories of some kind, perhaps about the supposed exploits of various spiritual beings. But since we no longer know exactly what these stories were about, it would probably be best to use a general term for them. Alternate translation: “made-up stories”
 1:4	qpv9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole	γενεαλογίαις ἀπεράντοις	1	Paul uses the term **endless** as an exaggeration to emphasize that these are very long. Alternate translation: “lists of names that seem as if they will never end” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
 1:4	ft33			γενεαλογίαις	1	Usually, the term **genealogies** refers to a record of a person’s ancestors. However, in this case it could also mean a record of the supposed ancestors of spiritual beings. Alternate translation: “lists of names”
 1:4	qb9l			αἵτινες ἐκζητήσεις παρέχουσι	1	The people were debating about these stories and lists of names, but no one could know for certain whether they were true. Alternate translation: “these make people disagree angrily”
 1:4	eu9f		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	οἰκονομίαν Θεοῦ	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind this phrasebehind the abstract noun **stewardship** with a concrete noun such as “plan” or “work.” Alternate translations: “helping us to understand God’s plan to save us” or “helping us to do God’s work” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 1:4	p2sr		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	τὴν ἐν πίστει	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the word **faith**behind the abstract noun **faith** with a verb such as “trust” or “believe.” Alternate translations: “which we learn by believing in God” or “which we do by trusting in God” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 1:5	myi5			δὲ	1	Paul here uses the word **Now** to introduce background information that will help Timothy understand the purpose of what he is commanding him. You can translate it with a word or phrase in your language that introduces background information.
 1:5	iwnk		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-goal	τὸ δὲ τέλος τῆς παραγγελίας ἐστὶν	1	Here Paul is expressing to Timothy the **goal** or the outcome that he desires from the commands that Paul gave him. Alternate translation: “I am commanding these things in order to get this result” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-goal]])
 1:5	l7un			τῆς παραγγελίας	1	Here, **this command** refers to the instructions that Paul has given Timothy in [1:3](../01/03.md) and [1:4](../01/04.md).
 1:5	i9rs		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἐστὶν ἀγάπη	1	That God’s people would show **love** is the goal of the command. If it is necessary to include the object of “love,” you could state “each other” or “others.” This may also include love for God. Alternate translation: “is that God’s people would love others” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 1:5	t123		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας	1	Here the **heart** figuratively represents a person’s thoughts and inclinations. Alternate translation: “from a desire for only what is good” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 1:5	mbe6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	ἐκ καθαρᾶς καρδίας	1	Here, **pure** figuratively indicates that the person wants only good things and does not have mixed motives that also include some bad ones. Alternate translation: “from a desire for only what is good” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 1:5	ar8t			συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς	1	Your translation should make it clear that love is the one goal of the command and is followed by three things that lead to this love. This is the second thing, after “a pure heart.” Alternate translation: “and from a conscience that leads a person to choose right instead of wrong”
 1:5	m53g			πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου	1	Paul presents **a sincere faith** as the third thing that leads to love, which is the one goal of the command. It is not a third goal of the command. Alternate translations: “and from faith that is genuine” or “and from faith that is without hypocrisy”
 1:5	zziu		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	πίστεως ἀνυποκρίτου	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the phrase **a sincere faith**behind the abstract noun **faith** with a verb such as “trust” or “believe.” Here, **faith** could refer to: (1) trust in God. (2) belief in true teaching about God. Alternate translations: “firmly trusting in God” or “sincerely believing the true message about God” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 1:6	j4z3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	τινες ἀστοχήσαντες	1	Paulus berbicara secara kiasan tentang iman kepada Kristus seolah-olah iman itu adalah sebuah target yang harus dicapai oleh orang-orang. Paulus bermaksud bahwa beberapa orang tidak memenuhi tujuan iman mereka, yaitu untuk mengasihi, seperti yang baru saja ia jelaskan. Terjemahan alternatif: "beberapa orang, yang tidak memenuhi tujuan iman kepada Yesus" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 1:6	se38		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐξετράπησαν εἰς	1	Di sini, **berpaling** secara kiasan berarti orang-orang ini telah berhenti melakukan apa yang diperintahkan Tuhan.

 1:7	v28u		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	νομοδιδάσκαλοι	1	Di sini, **hukum** secara khusus mengacu pada hukum Musa. Jika akan membantu pembaca Anda, Anda dapat menyatakannya secara eksplisit, seperti dalam UST. (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explisit]])
 1:7	kz8x		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast	μὴ νοοῦντες	1	Jika dalam bahasa Anda tidak jelas perbedaannya antara apa yang diinginkan oleh orang-orang ini (pengajar hukum Taurat) dan kemampuan mereka untuk melakukannya, Anda mungkin ingin menandai perbedaannya.

 1:7	t131		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives	μὴ & μήτε & μήτε	1	Paulus menggunakan bentuk tiga negatif dalam bahasa Yunani untuk menekankan di sini, "bukan... bukan... juga bukan." Tak satu pun dari kata negatif ini yang membatalkan satu sama lain untuk menciptakan makna positif. Sebaliknya, makna negatifnya tetap dipertahankan. Jika bahasa Anda menggunakan negatif ganda untuk penekanan yang tidak membatalkan satu sama lain, maka akan lebih tepat untuk menggunakan konstruksi tersebut di sini. (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives]])
 1:7	t132		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism	ἃ λέγουσιν, μήτε περὶ τίνων διαβεβαιοῦνται	1	Kedua frasa ini memiliki arti yang sama. Paulus menggunakan pengulangan untuk memberikan penekanan. Anda tidak perlu memasukkan kedua frasa tersebut dalam terjemahan Anda jika hal itu dapat membingungkan pembaca Anda. Terjemahan alternatif: "apa yang mereka katakan dengan begitu yakinnya adalah benar" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-paralelisme]])
 1:8	d6dz			οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι καλὸς ὁ νόμος	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "kami memahami bahwa hukum itu bermanfaat" atau "kami memahami bahwa hukum itu bermanfaat"
 1:8	t134		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive	οἴδαμεν	1	Dalam surat ini, Paulus menggunakan kata **kami**, **kita,** dan **kita** untuk merujuk kepada Timotius dan dirinya sendiri, atau kepada semua orang percaya, yang juga mencakup mereka berdua. Jadi secara umum, kata-kata ini mencakup si penerima. Sebuah catatan akan membahas satu pengecualian yang mungkin terjadi dalam [4:10](../04/10.md). (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
 1:8	r86g			ἐάν τις αὐτῷ νομίμως χρῆται	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "jika seseorang menggunakannya dengan benar" atau "jika seseorang menggunakannya dengan cara yang dikehendaki Allah"

 1:9	fq4i		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	δικαίῳ νόμος οὐ κεῖται	1	Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan frasa pasif ini dengan bentuk aktif, dan Anda dapat menyatakan siapa yang melakukan tindakan tersebut. Terjemahan alternatif: "Allah tidak membuat hukum Taurat untuk orang-orang yang benar" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 1:9	dl5l		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj	δικαίῳ	1	Paulus menggunakan kata sifat **benar** sebagai kata benda, untuk merujuk pada kelas orang yang dijelaskannya.

Terjemahan alternatif: "bagi orang-orang yang benar" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
 1:9	t139		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj	ἀνόμοις δὲ καὶ ἀνυποτάκτοις, ἀσεβέσι καὶ ἁμαρτωλοῖς, ἀνοσίοις καὶ βεβήλοις	1	Paulus juga menggunakan kata sifat ini sebagai kata benda untuk merujuk pada kelas-kelas orang yang mereka gambarkan. Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan frasa ini dengan menerjemahkan setiap kata sifat ini dengan frasa kata benda. Terjemahan alternatif: "orang yang melanggar hukum, orang yang menentang otoritas, orang yang tidak menghormati Allah, orang yang melakukan dosa, orang yang hidup seolah-olah Allah tidak penting, orang yang hidup seolah-olah tidak ada yang sakral" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
 1:9	t141			πατρολῴαις καὶ μητρολῴαις, ἀνδροφόνοις	1	Dalam daftar ini Paulus menggunakan beberapa kata majemuk untuk mengungkapkan maknanya secara ringkas dan jelas. Dalam setiap kasus, kata pertama dalam kata majemuk, yaitu kata benda, adalah objek dari kata kedua, yaitu kata kerja. Tiga dari kata majemuk ini ada di ayat ini, dan dua lagi ada di ayat berikutnya. Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan istilah-istilah ini dengan menerjemahkannya dengan istilah tunggal atau dengan frasa. Terjemahan alternatif: "patricides dan matricides, pembunuhan" atau "orang-orang yang membunuh orang lain, bahkan ayah dan ibu mereka sendiri"
 1:9	t142		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations	ἀνδροφόνοις	1	Paulus menggunakan istilah **manusia** di sini dalam pengertian umum yang mencakup pria dan wanita. Terjemahan alternatif: "pembunuh" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
 1:10	y5dx		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj	πόρνοις	1	Paulus menggunakan kata sifat **immoral** sebagai kata benda untuk merujuk pada suatu kelas orang yang dijelaskannya. Jika itu akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengungkapkan istilah ini dengan menerjemahkannya dengan frasa kata benda. Terjemahan alternatif: "orang yang melakukan hubungan seksual di luar pernikahan" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
 1:10	v1gh		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	ἀρσενοκοίταις	1	Istilah **pembohong laki-laki** adalah kata majemuk keempat dalam daftar. Istilah "berbohong" secara kiasan berarti melakukan hubungan seksual. Terjemahan alternatif: "laki-laki yang melakukan hubungan seksual dengan laki-laki lain" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 1:10	bzw4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations	ἀνδραποδισταῖς	1	Istilah **pencuri-manusia** adalah kata majemuk kelima dan terakhir dalam daftar ini. Paulus menggunakan istilah **manusia** di sini dalam pengertian umum yang mencakup pria dan wanita. Terjemahan alternatif: "orang yang menculik orang lain untuk dijual sebagai budak" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
 1:10	gg42			καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ ἀντίκειται	1	Di sini Paulus menghilangkan beberapa kata yang, dalam banyak bahasa, harus ada dalam sebuah kalimat. Maksudnya adalah jika ada hal lain yang bertentangan dengan ajaran yang sehat, maka hukum Taurat dibuat untuk orang-orang yang melakukan hal itu juga. Terjemahan alternatif: "dan bagi orang-orang yang melakukan sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan ajaran yang sehat"
 1:10	t147		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	τῇ ὑγιαινούσῃ διδασκαλίᾳ	1	Frasa **pengajaran yang sehat** adalah cara kiasan untuk mengatakan bahwa ajaran itu baik dan dapat diandalkan dalam segala hal dan tidak memiliki cacat atau kerusakan.

 1:12	t150			χάριν ἔχω	1	Alternate translation: “I thank”
 1:12	uu6n			πιστόν με ἡγήσατο	1	Alternate translation: “he believed that he could rely on me”
 1:12	ff1n		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	θέμενος εἰς διακονίαν	1	Paul speaks of the task of serving God as if it were a location that one could be placed in.

 1:13	q75p		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ὄντα βλάσφημον	1	Paul is referring to his character before he believed in Jesus. He is probably referring to how he used to say that Jesus was not the Messiah and that people should not believe in him. Alternate translation: “I was a person who said wrong things about Jesus” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 1:13	gbd4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	διώκτην	1	Paul is referring to his character before he believed in Jesus. Alternate translation: “a person who persecuted those who believed in Jesus” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

 1:13	rq2m		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result	ἠλεήθην, ὅτι ἀγνοῶν, ἐποίησα ἐν ἀπιστίᾳ	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could change the order of these phrases since the second phrase, “not knowing,” gives the reason for the action that the first phrase, “I was shown mercy,” describes. Alternate translation: “I did not act the way God would have trusted me to act, but that was because I did not know what I was doing, and so Jesus had mercy on me” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])

Alternate translation: “because he believed in me and loved me” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 1:15	z48s			πιστὸς ὁ λόγος	1	In this context, the term **word** refers to an entire statement. Alternate translation: “this statement is dependable”
 1:15	rh2r			καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could state explicitly who does this action. Alternate translations: “and we should believe it without any doubt” or “and we should have full confidence in it”
 1:15	t163		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-quotemarks	Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς ἦλθεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἁμαρτωλοὺς σῶσαι	1	Paul uses this phrase as a direct quotation. It may be helpful to your readers if you indicate this by setting off the words that follow, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language may use to indicate a quotation. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-quotemarks]])
 1:15	t164			ὧν πρῶτός εἰμι ἐγώ	1	Here the term **first** has the sense of the superlative example of a class, in this case a negative class. Alternate translation: “and I am the worst one of all”
 1:16	z5kg		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	ἠλεήθην	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express who showed mercy to Paul with an active form, and you could state who did the action.

 1:17	k9sc			δὲ	1	Paul here uses the word **Now** to introduce a change in what he is writing. As a result of what he has been teaching Timothy, he now writes a blessing to and about God. Use a word to indicate this change in your language, such as “so” or “now.”

 1:18	b6uq		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	τέκνον	1	Paul speaks of his close relationship to Timothy as though they were father and **child**. This shows Paul’s sincere love and approval of Timothy. It is also likely that Paul personally led Timothy to trust in Christ, and that would be another reason why Paul considered him to be like his own child. Alternate translation: “you who are like my very own child” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 1:18	y6jg			κατὰ τὰς προαγούσας ἐπὶ σὲ προφητείας	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could state explicitly how these prophecies happened and who did this action. Alternate translation: “in agreement with what other believers prophesied about you”
 1:18	w2ex		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	στρατεύῃ & τὴν καλὴν στρατείαν	1	Paul speaks figuratively about Timothy doing his best for the Lord as if he were a soldier fighting a battle.

 1:19	jj6k		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἔχων πίστιν	1	If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun **faith** with a phrase that uses a verb such as “trust” or “believe.” Here, **faith** could refer to: (1) a relationship with Jesus. Alternate translation: “continue trusting in Jesus” (2) a belief in the message about Jesus. Alternate translation: “keep believing the true teaching” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 1:19	ly6q		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἀγαθὴν συνείδησιν	1	See how you translated this phrase in [1:5](../01/05.md). Alternate translation: “continuing to choose to do what is right instead of what is wrong” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 1:19	h2wk		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	τινες & περὶ τὴν πίστιν ἐναυάγησαν	1	Paul speaks figuratively of these people as if they were a ship that had sunk.

 1:20	ty7n		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	οὓς παρέδωκα τῷ Σατανᾷ	1	Paul speaks figuratively as if he physically took hold of these men and handed them **to Satan**. If this does not make sense in your language, you could state it plainly. Alternate translation: “I have allowed Satan to command them” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 1:20	az10		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	οὓς παρέδωκα τῷ Σατανᾷ	1	This probably means that Paul expelled them from the community of believers. Since they are no longer a part of the community, Satan has access to them and can harm them. If it would be helpful to your readers, you may want to include this information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “I have allowed Satan to make them suffer” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 1:20	s76c		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	ἵνα παιδευθῶσι	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form, and you could state who would do the action.

 2:intro	c6rf				0	# 1 Timothy 2 General Notes\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Peace\n\nPaul encourages Christians to pray for everyone. They should pray for rulers so that Christians can live peacefully, in a godly and dignified way.\n\n### Women in the church\n\nScholars are divided over how to understand this passage in its historical and cultural context. Some scholars believe that God created men and women to serve in distinctly different roles in marriage and the church. Other scholars believe that God wants women to use the gifts He gives them on an equal basis with men. Translators should be careful not to let how they understand this issue affect how they translate this passage.

 2:2	pb58		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἐν πάσῃ εὐσεβείᾳ καὶ σεμνότητι	1	If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the idea behind the abstract nouns **godliness** and **dignity** with phrases that use verbs such as “honor” and “respect.” Alternate translation: “that honors God and that other people will respect” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 2:3	t186		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	καλὸν καὶ ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον & Θεοῦ	1	The terms **good** and **acceptable** mean similar things. Paul may be using them together for emphasis.

 2:9	t210		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche	μὴ ἐν πλέγμασιν	1	Paul mentions **braids** and **gold** as ways a woman could give undue attention to her hair.

 2:11	gb7a		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ	1	Paul may be saying that he wants the women to listen rather than to speak. Alternate translation: “by listening” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

 2:13	v7v6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis	εἶτα Εὕα	1	Here Paul leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. Alternate translation: “and then God created Eve” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])

 2:15	t222			σωθήσεται	1	Here, **she** likely refers to Eve, mentioned in the preceding verse, and whom Paul describes as “the woman.” Later in the sentence, **they** refers to women in general. To show how Paul shifts the topic from Eve, a representative woman, to all women, the word **she** could be translated here as “women.”
 2:15	u8iv			σωθήσεται & διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας	1	This could mean: (1) people thought that women would be condemned because of Eve’s sin and punished even more than with the pain of childbearing (see Genesis 3:16), or they may have thought that a woman who believed in Jesus was no longer under the punishment that God gave in Genesis 3:16. Since the Greek word translated **through** can also mean “with” or “while,” Paul may be saying here that women continue to have the punishment of pain in childbirth but will be saved from additional punishment as long as they have faith in Jesus. Alternate translation: “God will save women, although they do have to endure childbirth” (2) the women of the church in Ephesus were being led away from faith in Jesus by the false teachers (see 2 Timothy 3:6), so Paul is recommending that they focus on raising their families rather than listening to (or participating in) the “foolish talk” (1:6). Alternate translation: “God will save women as they attend to their families” (3) a reference to the birth of Jesus as a human child to be the Savior. Alternate translation: “God will save women through Jesus, who was born as a child”
 2:15	i0ap		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche	διὰ τῆς τεκνογονίας	1	If option number 2 from the previous note is correct, then Paul is figuratively referring to all of the aspects of motherhood by mentioning the beginning part of it: childbearing. Alternate translation: “as they attend to their families” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
 2:15	n818		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	σωθήσεται	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “God will save women” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 2:15	gh3c			ἐὰν μείνωσιν	1	Here, **they** refers to women. Paul switches from the singular to the plural as he switches from talking about Eve as the representative of women to women in general. Alternate translation: “if women continue living”
 2:15	sl57		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἐν πίστει, καὶ ἀγάπῃ, καὶ ἁγιασμῷ	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns **faith**, **love**, and **holiness** by stating the ideas behind them with verbs. Alternate translation: “trusting Jesus, loving others, and living in a holy way” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 2:15	dcf3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	μετὰ σωφροσύνης	1	Here, **with self-control** could mean: (1) with good judgment. (2) with modesty. (3) with clear thinking. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 3:intro	d9db				0	# 1 Timothy 3 General Notes\n\n## Structure and formatting\n\n[3:16](../03/16.md) was probably a song, poem, or creed the early church used to express what it understood to be the meaning of who Jesus was and what he did.\n\n### Overseers and deacons\n\nThe church has used different titles for church leaders. Some titles include elder, pastor, and bishop. The word “overseer” reflects the Greek term in verses 1-2, which means literally an “over-seer.” The word “bishop” is derived directly from the letters of this Greek term. Paul writes about another kind of church leader, a “deacon,” in verses 8 and 12.\n\n### Character qualities\n\nThis chapter lists several qualities that an overseer or deacon in the church must have. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 3:1	t227			πιστὸς ὁ λόγος	1	As in [1:15](../01/15.md), in this context the term **word** has a meaning more like “statement” or “message.” Alternate translation: “this statement is dependable”
 3:1	t228		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-quotemarks	πιστὸς ὁ λόγος	1	Paul uses this phrase to introduce a direct quotation. It may be helpful to your readers if you indicate this by setting off the words that follow in the rest of the verse with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language may use to indicate a quotation. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-quotemarks]])
 3:1	t229		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	ἐπισκοπῆς	1	The term **overseer** describes a leader of the early Christian church whose work was to take care of the spiritual needs of believers and make sure that they received accurate biblical teaching.

 3:1	f133			καλοῦ ἔργου	1	Alternate translations: “an honorable task” or “an honorable role”
 3:2	dff6			μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα	1	Here, **if one wife** means that he has only one wife, that is, he does not have any other wives or concubines. This also means that he does not commit adultery and may also mean that he has not divorced a previous wife. Alternate translations: “a man who has only one woman” or “a man who is faithful to his wife”
 3:2	qnq9			δεῖ & εἶναι & νηφάλιον, σώφρονα, κόσμιον, φιλόξενον	1	Alternate translation: “He must … not do anything to excess, he must be reasonable and behave well, and he must be welcoming to strangers”
 3:3	c2c7			μὴ πάροινον, μὴ πλήκτην, ἀλλὰ ἐπιεικῆ, ἄμαχον	1	Alternate translation: “he must not drink alcohol to excess, and he must not fight and argue, but instead, he must be gentle and peaceful”
 3:3	pc2g		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἀφιλάργυρον	1	If the expression **loving** money would not convey the idea of something inappropriate in your language, it might be helpful to use a term that expresses the idea of “greed.” Alternate translation: “not greedy for money” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 3:4	a8gu			προϊστάμενον	1	Alternate translations: “he should lead” or “he should take care of”

Ia tidak mengharapkan Timotius untuk menjelaskan bagaimana seseorang yang tidak dapat mengurus rumah tangganya sendiri dapat mengurus jemaat Allah. Sebaliknya, Paulus menggunakan bentuk pertanyaan untuk menekankan betapa pentingnya seorang penilik jemaat menunjukkan kesetiaan dalam kehidupan pribadinya sebelum mengambil peran kepemimpinan di dalam gereja. Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat menerjemahkan kata-kata ini sebagai sebuah pernyataan. Terjemahan alternatif: "Aku berkata demikian karena orang yang tidak dapat mengurus rumah tangganya sendiri pasti tidak akan dapat mengurus jemaat Allah" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
 3:5	c814		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	ἐκκλησίας Θεοῦ	1	Di sini istilah **gereja** merujuk kepada sekelompok umat Allah setempat, bukan kepada sebuah bangunan. Terjemahan alternatif: "sekelompok umat Allah" atau "kumpulan orang percaya setempat" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 3:6	q7hu			μὴ νεόφυτον	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "ia tidak boleh hanya sekedar belajar tentang iman" atau "ia harus menjadi dewasa dari pertumbuhan iman yang panjang dan mantap"

 3:6	t241		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	τυφωθεὶς	1	Paulus menggambarkan kesombongan secara kiasan seolah-olah hal itu membuat seseorang membengkak. Terjemahan alternatif: "menyangka bahwa ia lebih baik dari orang lain" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 3:6	v6f5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἵνα μὴ & εἰς κρίμα ἐμπέσῃ τοῦ διαβόλου	1	Paulus menggambarkan pengalaman dihukum karena melakukan kesalahan seperti jatuh ke dalam lubang.

 3:9	rfv7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	τὸ μυστήριον τῆς πίστεως	1	Here, **faith** refers to the content of the **mystery**, that is, the specific things that God has revealed and that followers of Jesus must believe.

 3:9	y91f		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει	1	Paul speaks figuratively of a person’s sense of right and wrong being **clean**, which means that it assures that person that he has done nothing wrong.

 3:14	zzzu		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-go	ἐλθεῖν	1	In some languages it is more natural to say “go” here, rather than **come**. Alternate translation: “to go” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-go]])
 3:15	z9z8			ἐὰν δὲ βραδύνω	1	This phrase does not imply that Paul might choose to take his time rather than hurrying. Alternate translations: “but in case I cannot get there soon” or “but if something prevents me from getting there soon”
 3:15	p9u4			ἵνα εἰδῇς πῶς δεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ ἀναστρέφεσθαι	1	Paul speaks of the group of believers as a family because God adopts each believer as a son or daughter through Christ. This could refer to: (1) the believers in general. Alternate translation: “so that you all may know how to conduct yourselves as members of God’s family” (2) Timothy’s behavior in the church. Alternate translation: “so that you may know how to conduct yourself as a member of God’s family”
 3:15	wzk3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish	οἴκῳ Θεοῦ & ἥτις ἐστὶν ἐκκλησία Θεοῦ ζῶντος	1	This phrase gives us further information about **the household of God**. It is not making a distinction between a household of God that is the church and one that is not the church.

 3:16	w473			μέγα ἐστὶν τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον	1	While in most of this letter Paul uses the term **godliness** to describe godly living, in this instance the term instead seems to describe the reverence for God that would lead a person to live a right life.

 3:16	t271		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	μέγα ἐστὶν τὸ τῆς εὐσεβείας μυστήριον	1	Since Paul follows this statement by quoting a hymn or poem about the life of Jesus, the implication is that he sees Jesus as having made it possible for people to worship God in the most genuine way.

 3:16	y8sp		rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry	ὃς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί, ἐδικαιώθη ἐν Πνεύματι, ὤφθη ἀγγέλοις, ἐκηρύχθη ἐν ἔθνεσιν, ἐπιστεύθη ἐν κόσμῳ, ἀνελήμφθη ἐν δόξῃ	1	This is most likely a song or poem that Paul is quoting.

 3:16	rqp6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	ἐν σαρκί	1	Paul uses the term **flesh** figuratively here to mean “in a human body.” He is describing the human body by reference to something associated with it, the flesh that envelops it. Alternate translation: “as a true human being” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

Alternate translation: “God the Father took him up to heaven in glory” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 3:16	mr3a		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἀνελήμφθη ἐν δόξῃ	1	The abstract noun **glory** refers to the way Jesus received power from God the Father and is worthy of honor.

 4:intro	b39h				0	# 1 Timothy 4 General Notes\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\nPaul speaks in [4:14](../04/14.md) of prophecy. A “prophecy” is a message that God communicates to people through someone to whom He has given a special gift of hearing and conveying these messages. The specific prophecy that Paul describes revealed how Timothy would become a gifted leader of the church. (See: [[rc://*/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet]])\n\n## Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter\n\n### Cultural practices\n\nIn verse 14 Paul speaks of church leaders placing their hands on Timothy. That was one way of indicating publicly that a person was being placed in a leadership position in the church.\n\n### Variation in names\n\nIn this chapter Paul speaks of church leaders called “elders.” They seem to be the same kind of leaders that he calls “overseers” in chapter 3.
 4:1	jzr9			δὲ	1	Paul here uses the word **Now** to introduce background information that will help Timothy and the believers in Ephesus understand the next part of his letter. The false teachings that Timothy must oppose are something that the Spirit has already predicted. You can translate the term with the word or phrase in your language that is most similar in meaning and significance.
 4:1	b739		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	ἐν ὑστέροις καιροῖς	1	This expression refers to the time period when God’s purposes in history are approaching their culmination and so the evil opposition to them increases. Paul is probably referring to the time period between Jesus’ resurrection and his second coming. Alternate translation: “in these days as God’s purposes advance” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 4:1	b931		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως	1	Paul speaks of people ceasing to trust in Christ as if they were physically leaving a place. Alternate translation: “some people will stop trusting in Jesus” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:1	hw98		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἀποστήσονταί τινες τῆς πίστεως	1	Here, **faith** could refer to: (1) the teachings about Jesus. Alternate translation: “some people will stop believing the teachings about Jesus” (2) trust in Jesus.

 4:1	q13m			προσέχοντες	1	Alternate translations: “and turn their attention to” or “because they are paying attention to”
 4:1	ae5w		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	πνεύμασι πλάνοις καὶ διδασκαλίαις δαιμονίων	1	These two phrases mean similar things. Paul may be using them together for emphasis.

 4:2	pw29			ἐν ὑποκρίσει ψευδολόγων	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could start a separate sentence here. Alternate translation: “The people who teach these things are hypocrites, and they tell lies”
 4:2	u2f4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν	1	Paul is speaking figuratively of these people as if their sense of right and wrong had been ruined like skin that someone had burned with a hot iron. Alternate translation: “they will not have any sense of right and wrong any more” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:2	t288		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	κεκαυστηριασμένων τὴν ἰδίαν συνείδησιν	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form.

 4:3	t289			κωλυόντων γαμεῖν	1	If it would be helpful to your readers, you could begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “these people teach that it is wrong to marry”
 4:3	wd2l		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	κωλυόντων γαμεῖν	1	The implication of this phrase is that these false teachers will forbid believers to **marry**. Alternate translation: “these people will forbid believers to marry” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 4:3	t291		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis	ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων	1	Here Paul leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. He does not mean that these false teachers will forbid believers to abstain from certain foods, but that the false teachers will require them to abstain from certain foods. In other words, the meaning of **forbidding** does not carry forward from the previous clause; rather, the meaning of “requiring” should be supplied. Alternate translation: “they will require believers to abstain from certain foods” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
 4:3	m1d6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἀπέχεσθαι βρωμάτων	1	The implication of this phrase is that these false teachers will forbid only certain **foods** and that they will impose this restriction on believers. Alternate translation: “they will forbid believers to eat certain foods” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 4:3	t293		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	τοῖς πιστοῖς καὶ ἐπεγνωκόσι τὴν ἀλήθειαν	1	These two expressions mean the same thing. Paul uses them together for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms. Alternate translation: “by the genuine believers” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
 4:3	t294		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj	τοῖς πιστοῖς	1	Paul is using the adjective **faithful** as a noun to refer to a class of people that it describes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate it with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “by people who believe in Jesus” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
 4:4	pppf		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result	ὅτι	1	The word **For** communicates that what follows is the reason for what Paul just said.

 4:4	dv4s		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish	πᾶν κτίσμα Θεοῦ καλόν	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the phrase**every creation**behind the expression **creation of God** with a relative clause. Alternate translation: “everything that God created is good” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-distinguish]])
 4:4	a15j		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	οὐδὲν ἀπόβλητον μετὰ εὐχαριστίας λαμβανόμενον	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “we are free to eat anything that we can thank God for” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 4:5	gwcs		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result	γὰρ	1	Kata **karena** menunjukkan bahwa apa yang terjadi setelahnya adalah alasan dari bagian terakhir dari apa yang baru saja Paulus katakan. Dengan kata lain, ini adalah alasan mengapa "segala sesuatu yang tidak diterima dengan ucapan syukur adalah keji." Gunakan cara yang wajar dalam bahasa Anda untuk memberikan alasan. Terjemahan alternatif: "sebab itu" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-hubungkan-hasil-logika]])
 4:5	m5mb		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	ἁγιάζεται	1	Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan frasa pasif ini dengan bentuk aktif. Terjemahan alternatif: "menjadi kudus" atau "layak untuk dimakan" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 4:5	fhd6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	διὰ λόγου Θεοῦ	1	Dalam konteks ini, istilah **firman** memiliki arti yang spesifik. Ini mengacu pada pernyataan yang Allah buat dalam firman-Nya bahwa segala sesuatu yang diciptakan-Nya itu baik. Terjemahan alternatif: "karena apa yang telah difirmankan Allah tentang hal itu" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 4:5	t300		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	καὶ ἐντεύξεως	1	Dalam konteksnya, implikasinya adalah bahwa hal ini mengacu pada doa syukur kepada Tuhan atas makanan. Jika itu akan membantu pembaca Anda, Anda dapat menyatakannya secara eksplisit. Terjemahan alternatif: "dan karena ucapan syukur yang dipanjatkan manusia kepada Allah dalam doa" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explisit]])
 4:6	ks5x		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ταῦτα ὑποτιθέμενος τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς	1	Paulus berbicara tentang instruksi-instruksinya seolah-olah instruksi-instruksi itu adalah benda yang secara fisik dapat diletakkan di depan jemaat lainnya. Terjemahan alternatif: "jika kamu menolong orang-orang percaya untuk mengingat hal-hal ini" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:6	hfx3			ταῦτα	1	Ini mengacu pada pengajaran yang dimulai pada [3:16](../03/16.md).
 4:6	h6qr		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations	τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς	1	Paulus menggunakan istilah **saudara-saudara** dalam pengertian umum yang mencakup laki-laki dan perempuan. Terjemahan alternatif: "saudara-saudara laki-laki dan perempuan" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
 4:6	uyeb		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς	1	Istilah **saudara-saudara** secara kiasan berarti sesama orang yang percaya kepada Yesus. Terjemahan alternatif: "saudara-saudara seiman" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:6	t304		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας	1	Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan frasa pasif ini dengan bentuk aktif, dan Anda dapat menyatakan apa yang melakukan tindakan tersebut. Terjemahan alternatif: "pernyataan-pernyataan tentang apa yang kami percayai, yang dinyatakan dalam pengajaran yang benar, membuat Anda semakin percaya kepada Kristus" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 4:6	f8vs		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐντρεφόμενος τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας ᾗ παρηκολούθηκας	1	Paulus berbicara tentang pernyataan dan ajaran ini seolah-olah secara fisik dapat memberi makan Timotius dan membuatnya kuat. Terjemahan alternatif: "Pernyataan-pernyataan tentang apa yang kami percayai, yang dinyatakan dalam pengajaran yang benar, membuat engkau semakin kuat percaya kepada Kristus" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:6	ny78		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	τοῖς λόγοις τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς καλῆς διδασκαλίας	1	Paulus menggunakan istilah **kata-kata** secara kiasan untuk menggambarkan pernyataan-pernyataan kepercayaan dan ajaran-ajaran yang menjelaskannya, yang keduanya diungkapkan dengan kata-kata. Terjemahan alternatif: "pernyataan-pernyataan tentang apa yang kita percayai, yang dinyatakan dalam pengajaran yang benar" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 4:7	th4i			τοὺς & βεβήλους καὶ γραώδεις μύθους	1	Lihat bagaimana Anda menerjemahkan **mitos** dalam [1:4](../01/04.md) dan **duniawi** dalam [1:9](../01/09.md). Terjemahan alternatif: "cerita-cerita yang bodoh dan dibuat-buat yang tidak ada yang sakral"
 4:7	elk7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	γραώδεις μύθους	1	Istilah "perempuan tua" adalah sebuah ungkapan yang berarti "konyol" atau "bodoh". Paulus memberi tahu Timotius dalam [5:2](../05/02.md) bahwa ia harus menghormati wanita yang lebih tua sebagai ibu, jadi ungkapan Paulus di sini harus diakui sebagai ungkapan idiomatik dan bukan tidak sopan. Bahasa Anda mungkin memiliki ungkapan yang serupa. Terjemahan alternatif: "cerita-cerita istri tua" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 4:7	sea5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	γύμναζε & σεαυτὸν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν	1	Paulus memberi tahu Timotius secara kiasan untuk bekerja mengembangkan karakter ilahi seperti seorang atlet yang sedang meningkatkan kondisi fisiknya.

Akan sangat membantu bagi para pembaca Anda jika Anda menunjukkan hal ini dengan memberi tanda petik pada kata-kata yang mengikuti di bagian ayat selanjutnya atau dengan tanda baca atau konvensi lain yang mungkin digunakan oleh bahasa Anda untuk menunjukkan sebuah kutipan. (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-quotemarks]])
 4:8	i6rh			σωματικὴ γυμνασία	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "latihan fisik"
 4:8	t313			πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶν ὠφέλιμος	1	Ini bisa berarti: (1) nilainya kecil. (2) memiliki nilai untuk sementara waktu. (3) tidak memiliki nilai yang besar.
 4:8	df19			ἐπαγγελίαν ἔχουσα	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "akan membawa manfaat"
 4:9	t315			πιστὸς ὁ λόγος	1	As in [1:15](../01/15.md) and [3:1](../03/01.md), in this context, the term **word** means “statement” or “saying.” (Paul is referring to the entire saying that he quoted in the previous verse.) Alternate translation: “this statement is dependable”
 4:9	hc1t			καὶ πάσης ἀποδοχῆς ἄξιος	1	See how you translated this phrase in [1:15](../01/15.md). Alternate translations: “and we should believe it without any doubt” or “and we should have full confidence in it”
 4:10	l2yl		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result	εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ	1	The term **this** refers to “godliness,” which Paul mentions in the previous two verses. Paul is giving a reason why Timothy should believe the saying about the value of godliness. He and his other fellow workers are striving very hard to become godly, so it must be valuable. Alternate translation: “after all, it is for godliness that” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])
 4:10	c9db		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	κοπιῶμεν καὶ ἀγωνιζόμεθα	1	The terms **toil** and **struggle** mean basically the same thing. Paul uses them together to emphasize the intensity with which he and his fellow workers are serving God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms. Alternate translation: “we work so hard” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
 4:10	t320		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive	κοπιῶμεν καὶ ἀγωνιζόμεθα	1	This could be the one place where **we** does not include the addressee. Paul has just told Timothy to make godliness his priority rather than physical exercise, and he may be offering himself and his other fellow workers as an example of that for Timothy to follow. So if your language makes that distinction, you may wish to use the exclusive form in this phrase. However, **we** in the next phrase would include Timothy, since Paul is encouraging Timothy to join him and his fellow workers in making godliness his priority as someone who, like them, has hoped in the living God. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
 4:10	qmj6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	Θεῷ ζῶντι	1	See how you translated this phrase in [3:15](../03/15.md). Alternate translations: “the God who is genuinely alive” or “the true God” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 4:10	t322		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations	πάντων ἀνθρώπων	1	Paul uses the term **men** here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “of all people” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
 4:12	qi8l			μηδείς σου τῆς νεότητος καταφρονείτω	1	The term **despise** here does not mean “hate,” but “think little of” or “scorn.” Alternate translation: “Do not let anyone disrespect you just because you are young”
 4:12	t325			ἐν λόγῳ	1	In this context, the term **word** means “what you say.” Alternate translation: “in your speech”

 4:13	kky7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	πρόσεχε τῇ ἀναγνώσει, τῇ παρακλήσει, τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the abstract nouns **reading**, **exhortation**, and **teaching** by translating them with verbal phrases. Alternate translation: “continue reading the Scriptures to the people in your meeting there, exhorting them, and teaching them” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 4:14	i1ka		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives	μὴ ἀμέλει	1	You can translate this phrase in a positive way if that is more natural for your language. Alternate translations: “continue to use” or “make sure you develop” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives]])
 4:14	t22x		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	μὴ ἀμέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος	1	Paul speaks of Timothy as if he were a container that could hold God’s **gift**. Alternate translation: “do not neglect the ability that God has given you” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:14	hdd9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	μὴ ἀμέλει τοῦ ἐν σοὶ χαρίσματος	1	The implication is that this **gift** is the ability that God has given Timothy for ministry. Alternate translation: “do not neglect the ability that God has given you” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 4:14	xp1k		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	ὃ ἐδόθη σοι διὰ προφητείας	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form, and you could state who did the action. Alternate translation: “which you received when leaders of the church prophesied about you” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 4:14	rr8f		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	ἐπιθέσεως τῶν χειρῶν τοῦ πρεσβυτερίου	1	Paul is speaking of a ceremony during which the church leaders put their **hands** on Timothy and prayed that God would enable him to do the work he had commanded him to do. Alternate translation: “when the elders all laid their hands on you” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])
 4:15	sbcg		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ταῦτα	1	If it is helpful in your language, you may want to make explicit what **these things** are. Alternate translation: “these things that I am telling you” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 4:15	m65m		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐν τούτοις ἴσθι	1	Paul is speaking figuratively as if Timothy could physically be inside the instructions he has just given him. Alternate translation: “and follow them consistently” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 4:15	merc		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	σου ἡ προκοπὴ	1	If it is helpful in your language, you may want to make explicit in what way Timothy is to make **progress**. Alternate translation: “your increasing ability to live the way that Jesus wants you to live” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

 4:16	zxe7			ἐπίμενε αὐτοῖς	1	Alternate translation: “continue to do these things”
 4:16	u7ez			καὶ σεαυτὸν σώσεις καὶ τοὺς ἀκούοντάς σου	1	This could mean: (1) Timothy will save himself and those who hear him from God’s judgment (2) Timothy will protect himself and those who hear him from the influence of false teachers. Perhaps Paul means both things since, if Timothy can persuade the people of the church in Ephesus not to listen to the false teachers, then he will also spare them from God’s judgment for the wrong things they would have done if they had listened to those teachers. Alternate translation: “you will keep both yourself and your listeners from believing and doing the wrong things”
 5:intro	jx4e				0	# 1 Timothy 5 General Notes\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Honor and respect\n\nPaul encourages younger Christians to honor and respect older Christians. Cultures honor and respect older people in different ways.\n\n### Widows\n\nIn the ancient Near East, it was important to care for widows because they could not provide for themselves.\n\n### Variation in names\n\nIn this chapter, as in chapter 4, Paul speaks of church leaders called “elders.” Here, as well, they seem to be the same kind of leaders that he calls “overseers” in chapter 3.
 5:1	wt5y		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-you	General Information:	0	# General Information:\n\nPaul was giving these commands to one person, Timothy. Languages that have different forms of “you” or different forms for commands would use the singular form here. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
 5:1	l4w5			πρεσβυτέρῳ μὴ ἐπιπλήξῃς	1	Alternate translation: “do not reprimand an older man”
 5:1	dnf2			ἀλλὰ παρακάλει	1	Alternate translation: “instead, encourage him”
 5:1	enp9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-simile	ὡς πατέρα, νεωτέρους ὡς ἀδελφούς	1	Paul uses these two similes to tell Timothy that he should treat fellow believers with the same sincere love and respect that he would show to family members. Alternate translation: “as if he were your own father, and encourage younger men as if they were your own brothers” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
 5:2	t1pv		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-simile	ὡς μητέρας, νεωτέρας ὡς ἀδελφὰς	1	Paul uses these two similes to tell Timothy that he should treat fellow believers with sincere love and respect, just as he would treat family members. Alternate translation: “encourage each of them as if they were your own mother, and encourage younger women as if they were your own sisters” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
 5:2	ivl7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	ἐν πάσῃ ἁγνίᾳ	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun **purity** by translating it with an adjective such as “pure.” Alternate translation: “making sure that your thoughts and actions are pure” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 5:3	smp5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	χήρας τίμα	1	This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “provide for widows” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 5:3	qc6s			τὰς ὄντως χήρας	1	Alternate translation: “widows who have no one else to provide for them”
 5:4	vv64			τέκνα ἢ ἔκγονα	1	Here these **children** and **grandchildren** are adults who are able to care for others, not young children.
 5:4	w38h			πρῶτον	1	This could mean one of two things, or possibly both: (1) of all of their religious duties, taking care of their family is the most important one and the one that they should learn to do before anything else. Alternate translation: “as the most basic part of belonging to God’s people” (2) these children and grandchildren should be the first ones to take care of their family members, before the rest of the congregation. Alternate translation: “before the church offers any support”
 5:4	fnab			μανθανέτωσαν & εὐσεβεῖν	1	Here, **learn** means to practice, that is, to learn by doing. Alternate translation: “let them become proficient in honoring”
 5:4	t344		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism	μανθανέτωσαν & τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον εὐσεβεῖν, καὶ ἀμοιβὰς ἀποδιδόναι τοῖς προγόνοις	1	These two phrases may: (1) mean similar things and you could combine them if that would be helpful to your readers. If **honor** is an idiom for “provide” here, as in the previous verse, then Paul may be using repetition for emphasis. Alternate translation: “let them provide the support that their widowed mother or grandmother needs and deserves” (2) have a slight difference in meaning, and you could also choose to bring that out in your translation. Paul may actually be giving two reasons why people should support their widowed mothers or grandmothers. Alternate translation: “this is a respectful thing to do for widowed family members, and it will repay them for supporting their children and grandchildren as they were growing up” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
 5:4	g5mu		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	τὸν ἴδιον οἶκον	1	Paul uses this phrase figuratively to refer to family members, by association to the way they live in the same house.

 5:4	t348		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	τοῦτο & ἐστιν ἀπόδεκτον ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ	1	Paul uses the expression **before God**, which means “in front of God,” to mean “where God can see.” Alternate translations: “this is pleasing in God’s view” or “this pleases God” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:5	xp1u		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys	ἡ & ὄντως χήρα καὶ μεμονωμένη	1	The two words **genuine** and **left-alone** work together to describe one condition, and they may be combined if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “a widow who is genuinely alone” Or it may be that **left-alone** further defines **genuine**. Alternate translation: “a real widow, that is, one who has no family” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys]])
 5:5	ggk0			ἡ & χήρα	1	Here, **the … widow** does not refer to any specific widow, but to all widows who meet this description. Alternate translations: “any … widow” or “all … widows”
 5:5	u1lj		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis	προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσιν καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς	1	Paul leaves a verb unexpressed here that your language might need to express. Alternate translations: “continues in making requests and prayers” or “continues to make requests and to offer prayers” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
 5:5	rwp4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys	ταῖς δεήσεσιν καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς	1	The phrase **requests and prayers** expresses a single idea by using two words connected with **and**. The word **requests** tells what kind of **prayers** Paul is talking about here. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this phrase by stating the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translations: “making requests to God in prayer” or “praying to God for what she needs” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys]]).
 5:5	rb9f		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-merism	νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας	1	The words **night** and **day** are used together to mean that she prays to God often, no matter what time it is. It does not mean that she prays all night and all day without ever stopping. Alternate translation: “at all times” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-merism]])
 5:6	qy5h		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ζῶσα τέθνηκεν	1	Paul speaks figuratively about people who do not seek to please God as if they were dead. Alternate translation: “has died in her spirit, even though she is still alive physically” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:7	qw6m			καὶ ταῦτα παράγγελλε, ἵνα ἀνεπίλημπτοι ὦσιν	1	Pernyataan ini tampaknya merujuk kembali kepada [4:11](../04/11.md), "Perintahkanlah dan ajarkanlah semuanya itu," yang Paulus katakan kepada Timotius setelah memerintahkannya dalam [4:6](../04/06.md) untuk "menempatkan semuanya itu di hadapan saudara-saudara." Jadi **mereka** tampaknya merujuk kepada semua orang percaya dalam situasi ini, termasuk para janda, keluarga mereka, dan gereja lokal yang seharusnya mengatur daftar para janda dan memastikan bahwa para janda tersebut dirawat dengan baik. Terjemahan alternatif: "Juga berikanlah petunjuk-petunjuk ini kepada orang-orang percaya, supaya tidak ada seorang pun yang dapat menuduh mereka melakukan sesuatu yang salah"
 5:8	p7h2		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	τις τῶν ἰδίων καὶ μάλιστα οἰκείων οὐ προνοεῖ	1	Di sini, **miliknya sendiri** adalah idiom yang berarti "kerabatnya sendiri." Terjemahan alternatif: "seseorang tidak membantu kebutuhan kerabatnya, terutama anggota keluarga yang tinggal di rumahnya" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 5:8	y645		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	τὴν πίστιν ἤρνηται	1	Di sini, "iman" mengacu pada percaya kepada Yesus dan menaati-Nya. Paulus menjelaskan bahwa tindakan ini sama saja dengan menyangkal semuanya. Terjemahan alternatif: "Dengan melakukan hal itu, ia menyangkal bahwa ia adalah milik Yesus" atau "ia telah menunjukkan bahwa ia tidak mengikuti Mesias" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 5:8	evm7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἔστιν ἀπίστου χείρων	1	Implikasinya adalah bahwa orang ini **lebih buruk daripada orang kafir** karena orang kafir pun merawat kerabat mereka sendiri. Jika akan membantu pembaca Anda, Anda dapat menyatakannya secara eksplisit. Terjemahan alternatif: "lebih buruk daripada orang yang tidak percaya kepada Yesus, karena mereka memelihara sanak saudaranya" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explisit]])
 5:9	s8ql		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	χήρα καταλεγέσθω	1	Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan frasa pasif ini dengan bentuk aktif, dan Anda dapat menyatakan siapa yang akan melakukan tindakan tersebut. Terjemahan alternatif: "mintalah gereja memasukkan seorang janda ke dalam daftar" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 5:9	khe1		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	χήρα καταλεγέσθω	1	Tampaknya ada daftar janda yang tidak memiliki keluarga untuk membantu mereka. Para anggota gereja memenuhi kebutuhan para wanita ini akan makanan, pakaian, dan tempat tinggal, dan para wanita ini kemudian mengabdikan hidup mereka untuk melayani komunitas Kristen. Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat menyatakan frasa ini secara eksplisit. Terjemahan alternatif: "mintalah gereja memasukkan seorang wanita ke dalam daftar janda-janda yang benar-benar membutuhkan pertolongan" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explisit]])
 5:9	i27x		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes	μὴ ἔλαττον ἐτῶν ἑξήκοντα γεγονυῖα	1	Paulus menggunakan kiasan **tidak kurang dari** di sini yang menyatakan makna positif dengan menggunakan kata negatif bersama dengan kata yang berlawanan dengan makna yang dimaksudkan. Terjemahan alternatif: "jika ia berumur sekurang-kurangnya enam puluh tahun" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
 5:9	q9dj		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	ἑνὸς ἀνδρὸς γυνή	1	Seperti ungkapan serupa dalam [3:2](../03/02.md), ini bisa berarti: (1) dia hanya memiliki satu suami. Terjemahan alternatif: "ia selalu setia kepada suaminya" (2) ia hanya menikah satu kali. Jika yang dimaksud adalah kemungkinan yang kedua, tidak jelas apakah Paulus bermaksud mengecualikan perempuan yang menikah lebih dari satu kali dan menjadi janda setiap kali menikah, atau secara lebih spesifik perempuan yang menceraikan suaminya dan menikah dengan laki-laki lain. Terjemahan alternatif: "ia mempunyai satu suami" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 5:10	l8nm		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	ἐν ἔργοις καλοῖς μαρτυρουμένη	1	Jika akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengekspresikan frasa pasif ini dengan bentuk aktif, dan Anda dapat menyatakan siapa yang melakukan tindakan tersebut.

 5:10	mik7			ἐξενοδόχησεν	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "telah menyambut orang asing di rumahnya" atau "mempraktikkan keramahan"
 5:10	ygl3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν	1	Dalam budaya ini, orang-orang berjalan tanpa alas kaki atau dengan sandal di jalan yang berdebu atau berlumpur, jadi mencuci kaki mereka begitu memasuki rumah adalah cara untuk membantu mereka merasa nyaman dan bersih. Jika orang-orang dalam budaya Anda tidak terbiasa dengan praktik ini, Anda dapat menggunakan ungkapan umum sebagai gantinya. Terjemahan alternatif: "telah merawat orang-orang percaya yang mengunjunginya" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])
 5:10	t366		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche	ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν	1	Paulus mungkin menggunakan satu jenis pelayanan yang rendah hati secara kiasan untuk mewakili pelayanan yang rendah hati secara umum. Terjemahan alternatif: "telah melakukan hal-hal yang rendah hati untuk menolong orang percaya lainnya" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
 5:10	bw4h		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	ἁγίων	1	Istilah **orang-orang kudus** merujuk kepada orang-orang yang percaya kepada Yesus sebagai orang-orang yang "kudus" atau "dikhususkan" bagi Allah. Terjemahan alternatif: "orang-orang yang percaya" atau "umat Allah yang kudus" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 5:10	ey6i		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj	θλιβομένοις ἐπήρκεσεν	1	Paulus menggunakan kata sifat **tertindas** sebagai kata benda untuk merujuk pada suatu kelas orang yang dijelaskannya. Jika itu akan membantu dalam bahasa Anda, Anda dapat mengungkapkan istilah ini dengan menerjemahkannya dengan frasa kata benda. Terjemahan alternatif: "telah menolong orang-orang yang menderita" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
 5:10	h96j		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole	παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ ἐπηκολούθησεν	1	Paulus menggunakan kata **setiap** di sini sebagai sebuah generalisasi untuk penekanan. Terjemahan alternatif: "ia telah melakukan banyak perbuatan baik" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
 5:11	rv5h			νεωτέρας δὲ χήρας παραιτοῦ	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "Tapi jangan tambahkan nama janda yang berusia kurang dari 60 tahun ke dalam daftar janda"
 5:11	vqq9		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ὅταν & καταστρηνιάσωσιν τοῦ Χριστοῦ	1	Implikasi dari frasa ini adalah bahwa ketika seorang janda menerima sebuah tempat dalam daftar, ia berjanji untuk tidak menikah dan mengabdikan dirinya untuk melayani orang-orang percaya lainnya. Jika akan membantu pembaca Anda, Anda dapat menunjukkannya secara eksplisit. Terjemahan alternatif: "ketika mereka merasakan hasrat-hasrat jasmani yang bertentangan dengan janji kesucian mereka" (Lihat: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explisit]])
 5:12	t372			ἔχουσαι κρίμα	1	Terjemahan alternatif: "sehingga mereka mendapat hukuman dari Allah"
 5:12	nha7			τὴν πρώτην πίστιν ἠθέτησαν	1	Istilah "janji" di sini mengacu pada komitmen yang dibuat oleh para janda, seperti yang dijelaskan dalam catatan terakhir pada [5:11](../05/11.md), bahwa mereka akan melayani komunitas Kristen seumur hidup mereka dan tidak akan menikah lagi jika komunitas tersebut memenuhi kebutuhan mereka.

 5:13	t4iv			καὶ ἀργαὶ μανθάνουσιν	1	Alternate translation: “they also get into the habit of doing nothing”
 5:13	t375		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj	ἀργαὶ	1	Paul is using the adjective **lazy** as a noun to refer to a class of people that it describes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this term by translating it with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “people who are lazy” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj]])
 5:13	t376			περιερχόμεναι τὰς οἰκίας	1	Alternate translation: “going from house to house”
 5:13	nll4		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	φλύαροι καὶ περίεργοι, λαλοῦσαι τὰ μὴ δέοντα	1	These three phrases may be ways of speaking about the same activity. Paul may be using repetition to emphasize that these women should not be looking into the private lives of people and telling about them to others who would be no better off after hearing this gossip. If you think it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine these phrases into a single one. Alternate translation: “people who interfere openly in other people’s business” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]]) (A doublet can consist of more than two terms.)
 5:13	cym5			φλύαροι	1	Alternate translation: “people who talk nonsense”
 5:14	u94k			τῷ ἀντικειμένῳ	1	This expression could refer by implication to: (1) This could refer to: (1) Satan. This is the reading of UST. Alternate translation: “the devil” (2) unbelievers who are opposing the followers of Jesus. Alternate translation: “unbelievers who are opposing you”
 5:15	fy54		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐξετράπησαν ὀπίσω τοῦ Σατανᾶ	1	Paul speaks of living in faithfulness to Christ as if it were a path that one can either follow or turn aside from. He means that some younger widows have stopped obeying Jesus and have started to do what Satan would want them to do instead. Alternate translation: “have stopped living in obedience to Jesus and have decided to obey Satan” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:16	mf4s		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἔχει χήρας	1	The implication is that she **has widows** within her extended family.

 5:16	y6hf		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία	1	Paul speaks figuratively of the community having to help more people than it is able to help as if it were carrying too much weight on its back. Alternate translations: “so that the church will not have more work than it can do” or “so that the Christian community will not have to support widows whose families could provide for them” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:16	t384		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	καὶ μὴ βαρείσθω ἡ ἐκκλησία	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form. Alternate translations: “so that the church will not have more work than it can do” or “so that the Christian community will not have to support widows whose families could provide for them” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 5:16	d35m			ὄντως χήραις	1	Alternate translation: “widows who have no one else to provide for them”
 5:17	u93q		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	οἱ καλῶς προεστῶτες πρεσβύτεροι & ἀξιούσθωσαν	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the passive phrase with an active form, and you could state who would do the action. Alternate translation: “All believers should consider elders who are good leaders to be deserving” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 5:17	wp9d		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns	διπλῆς τιμῆς	1	Here, **double honor** could mean: (1) the congregation should honor the elders in two ways. Alternate translation: “of both respect and payment for their work” (2) they should honor them twice as much as others. Since Paul quotes two Scriptures in the next verse that support the idea of church leaders being paid for their work, the first possibility is more likely. Alternate translation: “of more respect than others receive” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
 5:17	t389		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys	ἐν λόγῳ καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ	1	This phrase may be expressing a single idea by using two phrases (which are actually just two words in Greek) connected with **and**. The phrase **in the word** would be identifying the content of the **teaching**. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this connection by stating the meaning with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “at teaching from the Scriptures” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hendiadys]])
 5:17	t390		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	λόγῳ	1	Paul may be using the term **word** here figuratively to describe the Scriptures, which God inspired people to put into words. Alternate translation: “the Scriptures” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 5:18	kh55		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification	λέγει γὰρ ἡ Γραφή	1	Paul figuratively describes Scripture as if it could speak for itself. Alternate translations: “for it is written in the Scriptures” or “for we read in the Scriptures that” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
 5:18	t392		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-declarative	βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις	1	Here the Scriptures use a statement in order to give a command. Alternate translation: “you must not muzzle an ox while it is treading on grain” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-declarative]])
 5:18	vw3a		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	βοῦν ἀλοῶντα οὐ φιμώσεις	1	Paul is quoting this passage figuratively. He is using it to indicate that, just as God wanted oxen to be able to eat some of the grain that they were working to separate from its husks, so church leaders deserve to receive payment from the Christian community that they are serving. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:18	g985		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	οὐ φιμώσεις	1	A **muzzle** is a sleeve that goes over an animal’s snout to prevent it from opening its jaws and eating while it is doing work. If your readers would not be familiar with this object, you could use a more general expression instead. Alternate translations: “Do not keep an ox’s mouth shut” or “You must not prevent an ox from eating” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])
 5:18	t6kp		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown	βοῦν ἀλοῶντα	1	An **ox** in this culture would “thresh” grain by walking on it or pulling a heavy object over it to separate the grain from the husks. Alternate translation: “an ox that is separating grain from husks” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown]])
 5:18	kys1			ἄξιος ὁ ἐργάτης τοῦ μισθοῦ αὐτοῦ	1	Alternate translations: “a worker has a right to be paid” or “a worker should receive his wages”
 5:19	af68		rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-exceptions	κατηγορίαν μὴ παραδέχου, ἐκτὸς εἰ	1	If, in your language, it would appear that Paul was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this statement to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: “only believe that an accusation is true if” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-exceptions]])
 5:19	t399		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis	ἐπὶ δύο ἢ τριῶν μαρτύρων	1	Here, **on** stands for the concept of “relying on.” You may need to use a more complete phrase in your language. Alternate translations: “you are relying on the testimony of two or three people” or “at least two people give evidence for it” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
 5:19	kmy5			δύο ἢ τριῶν	1	Alternate translations: “at least two” or “two or more”
 5:20	db63		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐνώπιον & πάντων	1	Paul uses the expression **before** to mean “in front of.” Alternate translations: “where everyone can see” or “in public” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:20	ql4m		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἵνα καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ φόβον ἔχωσιν	1	If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state what, by implication, people will be afraid of doing. Alternate translation: “so that other people will be afraid to sin themselves” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 5:20	t404		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	φόβον ἔχωσιν	1	This is an idiom. Alternate translation: “will be afraid” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 5:21	x0zp			διαμαρτύρομαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ, καὶ τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων	1	By calling on **God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels** as witnesses to what Paul is saying, Paul is making Timothy responsible to God to do what he says. If this is not clear, then put this into the form that your language uses for an oath. Alternate translation: “as God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels are my witnesses, I put you under oath”
 5:21	t405		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ	1	Paul uses the expression **before**, meaning “in front of,” to indicate “where they can see.” Seeing, in turn, figuratively means attention and judgment. Alternate translation: “as God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels are watching” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:21	t7jq		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom	τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν ἀγγέλων	1	This phrase refers to the **angels** whom God has **chosen** to serve him in a special way. Alternate translation: “the angels who are God’s special servants” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
 5:21	dph6			ταῦτα φυλάξῃς	1	Alternate translation: “you follow these instructions”
 5:21	t409			ταῦτα	1	Grammatically, this could refer either to the instructions Paul has just given Timothy about elders or to the instructions he is about to give Timothy regarding his own personal conduct. But since Paul tells Timothy to follow these instructions without favoring one person over another, it is most likely that this refers to the instructions about elders. Alternate translation: “these things that I have just told you”
 5:21	t408		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	χωρὶς προκρίματος, μηδὲν ποιῶν κατὰ πρόσκλισιν	1	The terms **partiality** and **favoritism** mean similar things. Paul may be using repetition to emphasize that Timothy must judge honestly and be fair to everyone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms. Alternate translation: “being completely fair to everyone” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
 5:22	qb71		rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction	χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει	1	The **placing of hands** was a ceremony in which one or more church leaders would put their hands on people and pray that God would enable them to serve the church in a way that would please God. Timothy was to wait until a person had shown good character for a long time before officially and publicly setting that person apart in this way to serve the Christian community. Alternate translation: “wait until a person has consistently demonstrated good character before appointing that person to church leadership” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction]])
 5:22	t411		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes	χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει	1	Paul is using a figure of speech here that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: “wait until a person has consistently demonstrated good character before appointing that person to church leadership” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes]])
 5:22	pyl8		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις	1	The implication in context may be that if Timothy appoints a person to leadership before they are ready or without ensuring that their character is exemplary, then Timothy will bear some responsibility for that person’s ultimate failure as a leader, or he will appear to have approved of the person’s sins, once they are uncovered. Alternate translation: “so that you do not become responsible for the moral and leadership failures of others” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 5:23	xl32		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ	1	Paul is telling Timothy to use wine specifically as medicine. The water in that area was impure and often caused sickness.

 5:24	uk56		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations	τινῶν ἀνθρώπων	1	Paul uses the term **men** here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “of some people” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
 5:24	ug1z		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification	πρόδηλοί εἰσιν, προάγουσαι εἰς κρίσιν	1	Paul speaks of sins as if they could move on their own ahead of a person to the place where that person will be judged for committing them. Here, **judgment** could refer to: (1) the judgment when the sinner stands before God on the last day. Alternate translation: “are so obvious that everyone knows they are guilty long before God declares them guilty” (2) judgment before the church. Alternate translation: “are clear to everyone, even before the church leaders confront them” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
 5:24	i1c6		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification	τισὶν δὲ καὶ ἐπακολουθοῦσιν	1	Paul speaks once again of sins as if they could move on their own. As in the previous clause, this could refer to: (1) judgment by God. Alternate translation: “but the sins of other people do not become evident until God judges them” (2) judgment by the church. Alternate translation: “but the sins of some people remain hidden for a long time” This latter alternative also allows the possibility that Paul is referring to judgment by God. (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
 5:25	pd8v		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	καὶ τὰ ἔργα τὰ καλὰ πρόδηλα	1	Implicitly, here Paul does not mean all good works, since in the rest of the sentence he speaks of some good works that are not evident. Alternate translation: “most good works are also obvious” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 5:25	qlu5		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	τὰ ἔργα τὰ καλὰ	1	The implication of **good works** is that these works are considered **good** because they are consistent with God’s character, purposes, and will. Alternate translation: “actions that God approves” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 5:25	bl51		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα, κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναταί	1	Paul speaks of good works as if they were objects that someone could hide. Alternate translation: “and people will find out later about even those good deeds that are not obvious” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 5:25	t420		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive	καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα, κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναταί	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this passive phrase with an active form, and you could state who will do the action. Alternate translation: “and people who secretly do good works will not be able to hide them forever” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 5:25	bb2t		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives	κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναταί	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the double-negative **not … hidden** in a positive way. Alternate translation: “people will learn about later” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives]])
 6:intro	rks4				0	# 1 Timothy 6 General Notes\n\n## Special concepts in this chapter\n\n### Slavery\n\nIn this chapter Paul teaches slaves about honoring, respecting, and diligently serving their masters. This does not mean that he is endorsing slavery as a good thing or as something that God approves of. Instead, Paul is encouraging believers to be godly and content in every situation that they are in. This does not mean that they cannot also work to change those situations.
 6:1	nm4n		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	ὅσοι εἰσὶν ὑπὸ ζυγὸν δοῦλοι	1	Paul speaks of people who work as **slaves** as though they were oxen plowing or pulling with a **yoke** around their necks.

Alternate translation: “so that unbelievers will not insult God’s character or what we believe and teach” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
 6:1	e3ce			ἵνα μὴ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ ἡ διδασκαλία βλασφημῆται	1	If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this negative phrase in a positive way. Alternate translation: “so that unbelievers will always speak respectfully about God’s character and about the things that we teach”
 6:1	xb92		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Θεοῦ	1	Here, **name** is a figurative way of referring to the fame or reputation of a person. Alternate translations: “God’s character” or “God’s reputation” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 6:1	f5pc		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἡ διδασκαλία	1	Implicitly Paul means **the teaching** about Jesus and about how his followers should live. Alternate translation: “our teaching about how believers should live” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
 6:2	fvv7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations	ἀδελφοί εἰσιν	1	Here, **brothers** figuratively means fellow believers in Jesus, whether male or female. Alternate translation: “they are fellow believers” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-gendernotations]])
 6:2	nmh9			καὶ ἀγαπητοὶ	1	This could have either, or both, meanings: (1) God loves these people. Alternate translation: “whom God loves” (2) other believers love these people. Alternate translation: “and so their believing slaves should love them”
 6:3	t430		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	ὑγιαίνουσι λόγοις	1	See how you translated the term **healthy** in [1:10](../01/10.md). Here, as well, it is a figurative way to say that the teaching is good and reliable in every way and has no defect or corruption. A person with a healthy mind would recognize this teaching as correct. Alternate translations: “to the correct words” or “to the true expression of our faith” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
 6:3	t431		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy	ὑγιαίνουσι λόγοις	1	Paul uses the term **words** figuratively to describe the verbal expression of what followers of Jesus genuinely believe. Alternate translation: “the true expression of our faith” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

 6:4	z2rb		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole	μηδὲν ἐπιστάμενος	1	Paul uses the term **nothing** here as a generalization for emphasis.

 6:4	qu86		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	νοσῶν περὶ ζητήσεις	1	Paul speaks of people who feel compelled to engage in useless arguments as if they were ill. Such people greatly desire to argue, and they do not really want to find a way to agree. Alternate translation: “morbidly craves arguments” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
 6:4	i3lk		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet	ζητήσεις καὶ λογομαχίας	1	These two terms mean basically the same thing, although the second term refers more specifically to arguments about the meaning of words. Paul uses these terms together for emphasis. If these are not separate ideas in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: “arguments” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
 6:4	xt1z			λογομαχίας	1	Alternate translation: “fights about the meaning of words”
 6:4	y3mx			βλασφημίαι	1	While the term **blasphemies** often refers to untrue or disrespectful things that people say about God, in this context it refers to people falsely saying bad things about each other. Alternate translation: “insults”
 6:4	kn69			ὑπόνοιαι πονηραί	1	Alternate translation: “people thinking incorrectly that others want to harm them”
 6:5	x93f		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	διαπαρατριβαὶ	1	Here, **friction** is the last item in the list that began in the previous verse, a litany of bad things that result from “controversies and word-battles.” This is a metaphor. It compares two results: the heat and damage which occur when two objects rub together and the irritation and anger that can occur when people interact badly. Alternate translation: “and constant conflict” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

 6:5	tyf7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism	διεφθαρμένων ἀνθρώπων τὸν νοῦν καὶ ἀπεστερημένων τῆς ἀληθείας	1	These two phrases mean basically the same thin; Paul uses the repetition for emphasis.

 6:9	gfy7		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	καὶ ἐπιθυμίας πολλὰς ἀνοήτους καὶ βλαβεράς	1	This phrase continues the figure of speech from the previous phrase.

 6:11	zjl3		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor	δίωκε	1	Paul speaks of righteousness and other good qualities as if they were things that a person could run after and catch.

 6:12	qw96			ὡμολόγησας τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν	1	Alternate translation: “you publicly stated your faith in Jesus”
 6:12	vm6q		rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit	ἐνώπιον πολλῶν μαρτύρων	1	The implication is that Timothy’s statement of his faith was binding because these **witnesses** were present and could testify that he had made it.
