  • 1 Timothy Study Notes—Chapter 5
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
    • 5:18

      For the scripture says: Paul supports what he said in the preceding verse by using two quotations. (Compare Ro 9:17 and study note; 10:11.) The first is taken from De 25:4. (See also study note on 1Co 9:9.) The second may be an allusion to Le 19:13. However, it is also possible that Paul is here referring to a text in one of the Gospels. His wording is almost identical to what Jesus said as recorded at Lu 10:7. Luke wrote his Gospel about 56-58 C.E., and Paul apparently wrote this letter to Timothy sometime between 61 and 64 C.E. (Paul’s quote is also similar to the wording found at Mt 10:10, written c. 41 C.E.) Therefore, this may be an early example of a Bible writer’s quoting from a Gospel, confirming that it is inspired Scripture.​—Compare 1Co 9:14, where Paul refers to what the Lord Jesus commanded; see also study note on 1Co 12:10.
