of the flesh. He was taken up in glory; upon clouds, he says. 1 Tim 5,10 Instead of "if she has not pushed away, being a widow, the children she has had." If she has shown hospitality to strangers; to the faithful, clearly, even while being reckoned as married. If she has washed the feet of saints. He added this to show that it is necessary to receive them also with care. And it is clear that in requiring all these things 340 he speaks according to one's ability; for no one is poorer than she who put in the two mites. 1 Tim 5,12 Because having promised Christ to remain thus, they later were married. And he says "first faith" instead of "first submission," and of old "first" means that which is primary and highest and above all else for them. 1 Tim 5,17 Teaching is the simple tradition through the words of scripture and the explanation of the meanings in the words, while speech is that which presents the meanings. 1 Tim 5,24-25 Since he said above, "Lay hands hastily on no one, nor share in others' sins," now he states the reason for which he said that. The sins of all are not manifest; for many also sin while hiding it. Therefore he says: Test with time; for what was able to be hidden today is exposed tomorrow, and of sins, some are manifest, leading to the judgment of men—for all know that they are sinning and judge them unworthy—but some appear after these things, and things that are otherwise cannot be hidden. Since, therefore, matters concerning men are thus, "lay hands hastily on no one," lest he be found sinning in secret and be promoted unworthily and you share with him in his offense. Likewise, good works are also manifest. Concerning good works he said this only, that they cannot be hidden—he did not say that they are concealed—but concerning evil works, some are manifest, and some are concealed. Why? Because one does not quickly hide what is good; for "he who does the truth comes to the light," but he who does evil hides it, wishing to be concealed. 1 Tim 6,2 The devout and faithful master quickly is disposed to receive the benefit and goodwill of the slave, and being good, he becomes grateful toward him. 341 Regarding "those who partake of the benefit," instead of "those who are disposed to reciprocate." 1 Tim 6,5 Just as fire is born from the friction of both stone and wood, so impiety is born from the assembly of the wicked. 1 Tim 6,13 It is not said simply "who gives life," but in order that he might remind that the one who gives life and gives revival to each, will also give to each a worthy reward at the time of the resurrection, since he was about to command the keeping of the faith. And he did not place the word simply; for if he gives life to all things, clearly he will deem pious men worthy of the resurrection as well, in addition to the common life-giving, also giving revival to dying bodies. Therefore, being about to command the keeping of the commandment without spot, he mentions the one who gives life, so that the hope of that life might urge one toward piety. And it must be noted that he said "who gives life to all things," not that we should think he also gives life to inanimate things. Such also is "all things were made through him"; for it is not absolutely all things, but those of which the discourse is concerned. 1 Tim 6,16 Since created things remain in immortality and incorruptibility according to his grace and will and are in need of participation in him, even if they have obtained an immortal nature like the angels, while this belongs to him alone in the proper sense, since he is life itself and the constitution of all existing things and the provider of every good.

σαρκός. ἀνελήφθη ἐν δόξῃ· ἐπὶ νεφελῶν, φησίν. 1 Tim 5,10 Ἀντὶ τοῦ εἰ μὴ ἀπώσατο χηρεύουσα ἃ ἔσχε τέκνα. Εἰ ἐξενοδόχησεν· πιστοὺς δηλονότι καὶ ἐν γάμῳ καταλεγομένη. Εἰ ἁγίων πόδας ἔνιψεν. τοῦτο προσέθηκεν εἰς τὸ δεῖξαι ὅτι καὶ μετ' ἐπιμελείας αὐτοὺς ὑποδέχεσθαι χρή. δῆλον δὲ ὅτι καὶ τὰ 340 κατὰ δύναμιν ἀπαιτῶν ταῦτα πάντα φησίν· οὐ γάρ ἐστιν τῆς τοὺς δύο ὀβολοὺς καταβαλούσης ἀπορωτέρα. 1 Tim 5,12 Ὅτι ἐπαγγειλάμεναι τῷ Χριστῷ μένειν οὕτως ὕστερον ἐγαμοῦντο. πρώτην δὲ λέγει πίστιν ἀντὶ τοῦ πρώτην ὑποταγήν, καὶ πάλαι πρώτην τὴν πρωτεύουσαν καὶ ἄκραν καὶ πάντων ἀνωτάτην αὐταῖς. 1 Tim 5,17 ∆ιδασκαλία μέν ἐστιν ἡ διὰ τῶν λόγων τῆς γραφῆς ἁπλῆ παράδοσις καὶ ἡ τῶν ἐν τοῖς λόγοις νοημάτων ἐξήγησις, λόγος δὲ ὁ τὰ νοήματα παριστῶν. 1 Tim 5,24-25 Ἐπειδὴ εἶπεν ἄνω· χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει, μηδὲ κοινώνει ἁμαρτίαις ἀλλοτρίαις, νῦν τὴν αἰτίαν λέγει δι' ἣν εἶπεν ἐκεῖνο. οὐ πάντων φανερά ἐστι τὰ ἁμαρτήματα· πολλοὶ γὰρ καὶ κρύπτοντες ἁμαρτάνουσιν. λέγει οὖν· δοκίμαζε τῷ χρόνῳ· τὸ γὰρ σήμερον λαθεῖν δυνηθὲν αὔριον ἐλέγχεται καὶ τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων τὰ μὲν φανερά ἐστιν εἰς κρίσιν προάγοντα τὴν τῶν ἀνθρώπων- πάντες γὰρ ἴσασιν ὅτι ἁμαρτάνουσιν καὶ κρίνουσιν αὐτοὺς ἀναξίους-, τινὰ δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα φαίνεται καὶ τὰ ἄλλως ἔχοντα κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναται. ἐπειδὴ τοίνυν οὕτως ἔχει τὰ κατὰ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, χεῖρας ταχέως μηδενὶ ἐπιτίθει, μή ποτε εὑρεθῇ εἰς τὸ λεληθὸς ἁμαρτάνων καὶ ἀναξίως προαχθῇ καὶ κοινωνήσῃς αὐτῷ τοῦ πταίσματος. Ὡσαύτως καὶ τὰ καλὰ ἔργα πρόδηλά ἐστιν. ἐπὶ τῶν καλῶν ἔργων τοῦτο μόνον εἶπεν, ὅτι κρυβῆναι οὐ δύναται- οὐκ εἶπεν ὅτι λανθάνει-, ἐπὶ δὲ τῶν κακῶν ἔργων τινὰ μὲν πρόδηλά ἐστιν, τινὰ δὲ λανθάνει. διὰ τί; ὅτι τὸ καλὸν ταχέως τις οὐ κρύπτει· ὁ γὰρ ποιῶν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἔρχεται πρὸς τὸ φῶς, ὁ δὲ κακοποιῶν κρύπτει λανθάνειν βουλόμενος. 1 Tim 6,2 Ὁ εὐλαβὴς καὶ πιστὸς δεσπότης ταχέως ἔστησε λαμβάνειν τῆς τοῦ δούλου εὐεργεσίας καὶ εὐνοίας, καὶ ὢν χρηστός, εὐγνώμων πρὸς αὐτὸν γίνεται. 341 Εἰς τὸ οἱ τῆς εὐεργεσίας ἀντιλαμβανόμενοι, ἀντὶ τοῦ οἱ εὐαισθητοῦντες πρὸς τὸ ἀμείψασθαι. 1 Tim 6,5 Ὥσπερ ἐκ τῶν παρατρίψεων τοῦ τε λίθου καὶ τοῦ ξύλου πῦρ τίκτεται, οὕτως ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς τῶν φαύλων ἡ ἀσέβεια γεννᾶται. 1 Tim 6,13 Οὐχ ἁπλῶς εἴρηται τοῦ ζωοποιοῦντος, ἀλλ' ἵνα ὑπομνήσῃ ὅτι ὁ ζωοποιῶν καὶ διδοὺς τὴν ἀναβίωσιν ἑκάστῳ, καὶ τὸν μισθὸν ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ ἄξιον κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἀναστάσεως, ἐπειδὴ τηρήσεως ἔμελλε παραγγέλλειν τῆς κατὰ τὴν πίστιν. Οὐχ ἁπλῶς δὲ ἔθηκε τὴν λέξιν· εἰ γὰρ τὰ πάντα ζωογονεῖ, δηλονότι τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς εὐσεβεῖς ἀξιώσει καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως πρὸς τῇ κοινῇ ζωογονήσει, καὶ τῶν ἀποθνησκόντων σωμάτων τὴν ἀναβίωσιν διδούς. μέλλων οὖν παραγγέλλειν ἐφ' ᾧ τε τηρῆσαι τὴν ἐντολὴν ἄσπιλον, μνημονεύει τοῦ ζωογονοῦντος, ἵνα ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς ζωώσεως ἐκείνης προτρέψηται πρὸς εὐσέβειαν. ἐπισημαντέον δὲ ὅτι ζωογονοῦντος τὰ πάντα εἶπεν, οὐχ ἵνα καὶ τὰ ἄψυχα ζωογονεῖν αὐτὸν οἰηθῶμεν. τοιοῦτόν ἐστι καὶ τὸ πάντα δι' αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο· οὐ γὰρ πάντως τὰ πάντα, ἀλλὰ περὶ ὧν ὁ λόγος. 1 Tim 6,16 Ὡς τῶν κτισμάτων κατὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ χάριν καὶ βούλημα μενόντων ἐν ἀθανασίᾳ καὶ ἀφθαρσίᾳ καὶ τῆς ἐξ αὐτοῦ μεθέξεως δεομένων, κἂν ἀθάνατον ἔλαχον φύσιν ὥσπερ οἱ ἄγγελοι, μόνου δὲ αὐτοῦ τοῦτο κυρίως ὑπάρχοντος, ἐπειδήπερ ἐστὶν αὐτοζωὴ καὶ τῶν ὄντων ἁπάντων σύστασις καὶ χορηγία παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ.
