1 Timothy 2:2
2:2 even for kings 1 and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
1 Timothy 3:6
3:6 He must not be a recent convert or he may become arrogant 2 and fall into the punishment that the devil will exact. 3
1 Timothy 5:11
5:11 But do not accept younger widows on the list, 4 because their passions may lead them away from Christ 5 and they will desire to marry,
1 tn For “even for kings” the Greek says simply “for kings.”
2 tn Grk “that he may not become arrogant.”
3 tn Grk “the judgment of the devil,” which could also mean “the judgment that the devil incurred.” But see 1 Tim 1:20 for examples of the danger Paul seems to have in mind.
4 tn Grk “refuse younger widows.”
5 tn With a single verb and object, this clause means “pursue sensuous desires in opposition to Christ.”
