[5:10]  ¹ tn Grk “if she raised children.” The phrase “if she raised children” begins a series of conditional clauses running to the end of the verse. These provide specific examples of her good works (v. 10a).

[5:10]  ² tn Grk “followed after every good work.”

[3:1]  ³ tn Grk “the saying,” referring to the following citation (see 1 Tim 1:15; 4:9; 2 Tim 2:11; Titus 3:8 for other occurrences of this phrase).

[3:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “aspires to oversight.”

[5:19]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Deut 17:6, 19:15.

[1:10]  ⁷ tn On this term BDAG 135 s.v. ἀρσενοκοίτης states, “a male who engages in sexual activity w. a pers. of his own sex, pederast 1 Cor 6:9…of one who assumes the dominant role in same-sex activity, opp. μαλακός…1 Ti 1:10; Pol 5:3. Cp.

[5:16]  ¹¹ tc Most witnesses (D Ψ Ï sy) have πιστὸς ἤ (pisto" h) before πιστή (pisth), with the resultant meaning “if a believing man or woman.” But such looks to be a motivated reading, perhaps to bring some parity to the responsibilities of men and women listed here, and as a way of harmonizing with v. 4. Further, most of the earliest and best witnesses (א A C F G P 048 33 81 1175 1739 1881 co) lack the πιστὸς ἤ, strengthening the preference for the shorter reading.

[5:16]  ¹² tn Grk “has widows.”

[5:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “the real widows,” “those who are really widows.”

[6:3]  ¹³ tn Grk “teaches other doctrines,” (different from apostolic teaching, cf. 1 Tim 1:3).

[5:4]  ¹⁵ tn Or “to practice their religion.”
