Greek Commentary for 1 Timothy 5:5
Perfect passive participle of μονοω monoō (from μονος monos), “left alone,” old verb, here alone in N.T. Without husband, children, or other close kin. [source]
Perfect active indicative of ελπιζω elpizō “hath placed her hope (and keeps it) on God.” Text doubtful whether God Continues (προσμενει prosmenei). See note on 1 Timothy 1:3. With dative case here. Night and day “By night and by day” (genitive, not accusative). Paul does not say that she should pray “all night and day.” [source]
See note on 1 Timothy 1:3. With dative case here. [source]
“By night and by day” (genitive, not accusative). Paul does not say that she should pray “all night and day.” [source]
N.T.oFrom μόνος aloneExplanatory of a widow indeed. One entirely bereaved. [source]

Reverse Greek Commentary Search for 1 Timothy 5:5
General and special. See on Luke 5:33; see on Luke 8:38. Προσευχή prayeronly of prayer to God. The two words often occur together, as Ephesians 6:18; 1 Timothy 2:1; 1 Timothy 5:5. [source]
Comp. 1 Timothy 5:5, 1 Timothy 5:16. Ὄντως verilytruly, twice in Paul, 1 Corinthians 14:25; Galatians 3:21. See on 2 Peter 2:18. Wherever ὄντως is used by Paul or by any other N.T. writer, it is used purely as an adverb (see Luke 23:47; Luke 24:34): but in all the four instances in the Pastorals, it is preceded by the article and converted into an adjective. The meaning is, who are absolutely bereaved, without children or relations (comp. 1 Timothy 5:4), and have been but once married. There is probably also an implied contrast with those described in 1 Timothy 5:6, 1 Timothy 5:11-13. [source]
The phrase occurs Luke 5:33; Philemon 1:4. olxx. oClass. Δέησις is petitionary prayer. Προσευχὴ prayeris limited to prayer to God, while δέησις may be addressed to men. The two are associated, 1 Timothy 5:5: the inverse order, Ephesians 6:18; Philemon 4:6. [source]
For οντως ontōs (actually, really), see Luke 23:47; 1 Corinthians 14:25; and 1 Timothy 5:5. For widows (χηρα chēra) see note on Mark 12:40; note on Mark 12:42; note on Acts 6:1; and note on 1 Corinthians 7:8. Parry notes that in 1 Timothy 5:3-8 Paul discusses widows who are in distress and 1 Timothy 5:9 those who are in the employment of the local church for certain work. Evidently, as in Acts 6:1-6, so here in Ephesus there had arisen some trouble over the widows in the church. Both for individual cases of need and as a class Timothy is to show proper respect (τιμα timā keep on honouring) the widows. [source]
Present passive imperative of καταλεγω katalegō old verb, to set down in an official list, only here in N.T. “Let a widow be enrolled,” the negative coming later, “having become of no less than sixty years” Second perfect active participle of γινομαι ginomai For the case of ετων etōn see note on Luke 2:42. This list of genuine widows (1 Timothy 5:3, 1 Timothy 5:5) apparently had some kind of church work to do (care for the sick, the orphans, etc.). [source]
See 1 Timothy 5:5. The phrase in Paul, 1 Thessalonians 2:9; 1 Thessalonians 3:10; 2 Thessalonians 3:8. Const. with greatly desiring. [source]
