1 Timothy 3:4

3:4 He must manage his own household well and keep his children in control without losing his dignity. ¹ 

1 Timothy 5:4

5:4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, they should first learn to fulfill their duty ²  toward their own household and so repay their parents what is owed them. ³  For this is what pleases God. ⁴ 

¹ tn Grk “having children in submission with all dignity.” The last phrase, “keep his children in control without losing his dignity,” may refer to the children rather than the parent: “having children who are obedient and respectful.”

² tn Or “to practice their religion.”

³ tn Or “and so make some repayment to their parents”; Grk “and to give back recompense to their parents.”

⁴ tn Grk “for this is pleasing in the sight of God.”
