 • 1 Timothy 5:1-7  Matthew 24:7-14

            ☀️ 1 Timothy 5:1-7

1 - Don’t correct as though scolding, an older man, but encourage him as you would a father. And younger men as brothers, 2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with all purity.

     3 Honor widows who are truly widows. 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them show godliness to their own household and make some return to their parents, for this is pleasing in the sight of God. 5 She who is truly a widow, left all alone, has set her expectation [elpis - expectation, trust, hope] upon God and continues in praise and prayers night and day. 6 But someone who is living wantonly is fading away even while living.

     7 Command these things as well, so they may be without reproach. {The believers Paul had left Timothy with to complete the building of them into a group faithfully, thus fruitfully in Christ}.

            🌙 Matthew 24:7-14

(Jesus continues, answering “what will be the sign of your coming and the consummation/completion/end of the age?”) [Verse 6 - “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed, for this has to happen. But the end is not yet.] 7 - For nation will rise against nation, kingdom against kingdom.

     There will be famines and earthquakes in different places. 8 But all this is the beginning of birth pains.

     9 Then, they’ll deliver you up to tribulation [thlipsis - trouble, distress, affliction, persecution, from thlibō - to press, squeeze] and even put you to death. For you will be hated by all nations because of my name. 10 And then many will fall away [skandalizó] and turn against one another, and hate one another. 11 And many pseudo {misled} prophets will rise and mislead many. {Of all stripes?} 12 And as lawlessness increases, the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved [sózó - saved, rescued, delivered, healed, preserved, from a primary word σώος (sóos) - safe, sound]. 14 And this GOOD news {huge understatement} of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations. And then the end/completion will come. [Telos - end, purpose, goal, completion, fulfillment.]
