1Tim 4:11

“In some cases it is necessary to command, in others to teach; if therefore you command in those cases where teaching is required, you will become ridiculous. Again, if you teach where you ought to command, you are exposed to the same reproach. For instance, it is not proper to teach a man not to be wicked, but to command; to forbid it with all authority. Not to profess Judaism, should be a command, but teaching is required, when you would lead men to part with their possessions, to profess virginity, or when you would discourse of faith. Therefore Paul mentions both: "Command and teach." When a man uses amulets, or does anything of that kind, knowing it to be wrong, he requires only a command; but he who does it ignorantly, is to be taught his error.”

“Some matters require teaching, while others require commanding. Thus, that one must not steal — this should not be taught gently, but commanded, that is, forbidden with particular force. But if he speaks of the distribution of possessions, or of virginity, or of how one ought to believe, then this must be taught. Therefore the apostle uses both expressions: "preach... and teach." And in another sense, when we do something knowing that it is evil, we need commanding; when we do so without knowing it, we need teaching.”

“Above, the Apostle exhorted Timothy to godliness; here he gives him the formula for teaching godliness: first, he commands him to teach godliness; second, how he is fit to teach, at let no man; third, how he must teach different persons in different ways, at do not rebuke an ancient man. Now the doctrine of godliness is composed of two things: what is to be done and what is to be believed. The things to be done are not merely to be proposed, but commanded by those in authority; hence he says, command: rebuke with all authority (Titus 2:15). As to the things to be believed he says, and teach these things: teach all nations (Matt 28:19); behold, you have taught many (Job 4:3).”

“Command these things, and teach them. Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Concerning those who err in knowledge, it is necessary to command them with authority; but concerning those who err in ignorance, to simply teach them. The one who encourages toward good, teaches; but the one who hinders evil, commands. Let no one despise your youth. For the bishop must also speak more authoritatively. Therefore, "Let your forbearance be known to all men?" (Phil. 4:5) And we say that, when he himself is wronged, he ought to be gentle; but when the brothers are wronged by sinning, he ought to be strict. Or thus. If you live a most modest life, youth, which is easily prone to contempt, will not be despised. but be an example to the believers. Like a living image, and a standard of good living. in word, he says, in speaking, what is necessary for a teacher. But see that the teacher must have preparation of speech. in conduct. For example, in life and in the practice of living. in love. Which is towards all. in spirit. Either by spiritual rank or by the gift of the spirit, do not exalt yourself because of this. in faith. The straight path by which one may unquestionably believe in God, even concerning the impossible. in purity. That is, holiness, abstinence, and self-discipline.”
