Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ταῦτα
also these_‹things›
Here, the phrase these things refers to the instructions about widows and their families in the preceding verses (see [5:4–6](../05/04.md)). Paul includes the word also because he earlier told Timothy to “command” other things (see [4:11](../04/11.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make those ideas more explicit. Alternate translation: [what I have written about widows, too,] or [also what I have said about widows and their families]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
ὦσιν
˱they˲_may_be
The pronoun they could refer to: (1) all the believers who are with Timothy. Alternate translation: [all the believers may be] (2) widows and their families. Alternate translation: [the widows and their families] (3) widows. Alternate translation: [the widows may be]
5:3-16 A widow without wealth or family was alone in a world that did not provide for her. The Christian community was expected to care for such widows among its members (see Deut 10:17-19; Isa 1:17; cp. Acts 6:1-6; Jas 1:27). Some have argued that this passage suggests a religious order of widows in the first-century church at Ephesus, but there is no certain evidence of such an order in the first-century church, only of a ministry of care for community members without means.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
