How old is “young” in I Timothy 4:12?
Question:
Hello brother,
May I know who can be considered as young in the church based on I Timothy 4?
Thank you.
Answer:
"Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe" (I Timothy 4:12).
The Greek word neotetos simply means the early years of a person's life. It can be applied to someone, even up to thirty -- especially if he isn't married.
