In the official sense of 1 Timothy 5:17. [source]
Present middle imperative with μη mē (prohibition) of παραδεχομαι paradechomai to receive, to entertain. Old verb. See Acts 22:18. Accusation (κατηγοριαν katēgorian). Old word (from κατηγορος katēgoros). In N.T. only here, Titus 1:6; John 18:29 in critical text. Except For this double construction see note on 1 Corinthians 14:5; 1 Corinthians 15:2.

Idiomatic use of επι epi (upon the basis of) as in 2 Corinthians 13:1. [source]
Neither word in Paul. For accusation see on John 5:45. It means a formal accusation before a tribunal. The compound verb παρὰ emphasizes the giver or transmitter of the thing received: to receive from another. [source]
Except. A pleonastic formula, except in case. The formula in 1 Corinthians 14:5; 1 Corinthians 15:9. [source]
Or on the authority of. On condition that two witnesses testify. The O.T. law on this point in Deuteronomy 19:15. Comp. Matthew 18:16; John 8:17; 2 Corinthians 13:1. [source]

Peculiar to Mark. Lit., their testimonies were not equal. Hence the difficulty of fulfilling the requirement of the law, which demanded two witnesses. See Deuteronomy 17:6; and compare Matthew 18:16; 1 Timothy 5:19; Hebrews 10:28. [source]
Note both εχ ex and εχω exō (went out outside), since the Sanhedrin would not come into Pilate‘s palace. Apparently on a gallery over the pavement in front of the palace (John 19:13). Accusation Old word for formal charge, in N.T. only here, 1 Timothy 5:19; Titus 1:6. Against this man Objective genitive after κατηγοριαν katēgorian A proper legal inquiry. [source]
Condition of third class, undetermined with prospect of determination The emphasis is on εγω egō (I alone with no other witness). Is not true In law the testimony of a witness is not received in his own case (Jewish, Greek, Roman law). See Deuteronomy 19:15 and the allusion to it by Jesus in Matthew 18:16. See also 2 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19. And yet in John 8:12-19 Jesus claims that his witness concerning himself is true because the Father gives confirmation of his message. The Father and the Son are the two witnesses (John 8:17). It is a paradox and yet true. But here Jesus yields to the rabbinical demand for proof outside of himself. He has the witness of another (the Father, John 5:32, John 5:37), the witness of the Baptist (John 5:33), the witness of the works of Jesus (John 5:36), the witness of the Scriptures (John 5:39), the witness of Moses in particular (John 5:45).

Pleonastic combination of εκτος ektos (preposition except) and ει μη ei mē (if not, unless) as in 1 Corinthians 15:2; 1 Timothy 5:19. For use of ει ei with subjunctive rather than εαν ean see note on Philemon 3:12 (common enough in the Koiné, Robertson, Grammar, pp. 1017f., condition of third class). On the verb see 1 Corinthians 12:30; Luke 24:27; Acts 9:36. [source]
Aorist active indicative of the late and rare (So 1 Timothy 5:19 and in Herond.) compound υπερπλεοναζω huperpleonazō (here alone in N.T.), in later ecclesiastical writers. The simplex πλεοναζω pleonazō Paul used in Romans 5:20; Romans 6:1 and the kindred υπερεπερισσευσεν hupereperisseusen used also with η χαρις hē charis Paul is fond of compounds with υπερ huper For “faith in Christ Jesus” see note on Galatians 3:26, for “faith and love in Christ Jesus” as here, see 2 Timothy 1:13. [source]
Added to what is in 1 Timothy 3:4. “Believing children.” Not accused of riot (μη εν κατηγοριαι ασωτιας mē en katēgoriāi asōtias). See note on 1 Timothy 5:19 for κατηγορια katēgoria and Ephesians 5:18 for ασωτια asōtia “Not in accusation of profligacy.” Unruly See note on 1 Timothy 1:9. Public disorder, out of doors. See also Titus 1:10. [source]
See note on 1 Timothy 5:19 for κατηγορια katēgoria and Ephesians 5:18 for ασωτια asōtia “Not in accusation of profligacy.” [source]
Lit. not in accusation of profligacy. For κατηγορία see on 1 Timothy 5:19. Ἁσωτία , lit. unsavingness; hence, dissoluteness, profligacy. Comp. Luke 15:13, of the prodigal son, who lived unsavingly ( ἀσώτως ). Only here, Ephesians 5:18, and 1 Peter 4:4(note). [source]
The word is used originally of seniority in age. So Luke 15:25. Afterward as a term of rank or office. Applied to members of the Sanhedrim (Matthew 16:21; Acts 6:12). Those who presided over the Christian assemblies or churches (Acts 11:30; 1 Timothy 5:17, 1 Timothy 5:19). The twenty-four members of the heavenly court in John's vision (Revelation 4:4, Revelation 4:10; Revelation 5:5, Revelation 5:6, Revelation 5:8, Revelation 5:11, Revelation 5:14). Here, with reference to official position, coupled, presumably, with age. [source]
