1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

with all chasteness: Or “with all purity.” The Greek word rendered “chasteness” may refer to purity in conduct (sexual or otherwise), in thought, and in motive. (1Ti 4:12; see study note on Php 4:8.) Timothy was to treat younger Christian women as he would his own fleshly sisters. With them, as in all his dealings with fellow believers, he had to remain completely chaste, that is, pure or clean in thought, word, and action.—Job 31:1.
