| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| For--For in the case of some this result has already ensued; "Some (widows) are already turned aside after Satan," the seducer (not by falling away from the faith in general, but) by such errors as are stigmatized in Ti1 5:11-13, sexual passion, idleness, &c., and so have given occasion of reproach (Ti1 5:14). "Satan finds some mischief still for the idle hands to do." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| For some are already turned aside after Satan - That is, some young widows. The meaning is, that in the respects above mentioned Ti1 5:13, they had followed the great Tempter, rather than the Lord Jesus. This is stated as a reason why they should not be admitted into the number of the widows who were to be maintained at the expense of the church, and to whom the care of the younger female members was to be committed. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Some - Widows. Have turned aside after Satan - Who has drawn them from Christ. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| For some are already turned aside - Some of these young widows, for he appears to be still treating of them, are turned aside to idolatry, to follow Satan instead of Christ. Slight deviations, in the first instance, from a right line, may lead at last to an infinite distance from Christ. |

12 Having [2192] damnation [2917], because [3754] they have cast off [114] their first [4413] faith [4102].
13 And [1161] [2532] withal [260] they learn [3129] to be idle [692], wandering about [4022] from house to house [3614]; and [1161] not [3756] only [3440] idle [692], but [235] tattlers [5397] also [2532] and [2532] busybodies [4021], speaking [2980] things which [3588] they ought [1163] not [3361].
