Discussion Questions: 1 Timothy 5:1-2

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org

  • How can it be that Paul says “do not rebuke” here in 5:1, but in 5:20 (and elsewhere) he says, “rebuke”? Is this a contradiction?
  • What does Paul mean when he says, “do not rebuke… but encourage.”
  • Does this mean that a pastor is never to rebuke an older man? Discuss.
  • How is this “encouragement” to be delivered differently to old and young, male and female?
  • What is meant by the words, “in all purity?” Discuss and apply.
  • How might this concept be applied by husbands and wives, parents and children, and church members?
