Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Commentary

5:1,2 Respect must be paid to the dignity of years and place. The younger, if faulty, must be rebuked, not as desirous to find fault with them, but as willing to make the best of them. There is need of much meekness and care in reproving those who deserve reproof.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

2. with all purity—respectful treatment of the other sex will promote "purity."
