What Does 1 Timothy 5:15 Mean?
Paul adds a sober reason for his counsel: some have already strayed from the path and turned to follow the adversary.
This is not abstract warning but present reality in Ephesus. The danger of drifting is real, and Paul's practical advice aims to keep others from the same fall. He guides with the wisdom of one who has seen what happens when people lose their way.
