1 Timothy  


5 : 1 Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,
5 : 2 the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.
5 : 3 Honor widows who are widows indeed;
5 : 4 but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.
5 : 5 Now she who is a widow indeed and who has been left alone, has fixed her hope on God and continues in entreaties and prayers night and day.
5 : 6 But she who gives herself to wanton pleasure is dead even while she lives.
5 : 7 Prescribe these things as well, so that they may be above reproach.
5 : 8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
5 : 9 A widow is to be put on the list only if she is not less than sixty years old, having been the wife of one man,
5 : 10 having a reputation for good works; and if she has brought up children, if she has shown hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints` feet, if she has assisted those in distress, and if she has devoted herself to every good work.
5 : 11 But refuse to put younger widows on the list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to get married,
5 : 12 thus incurring condemnation, because they have set aside their previous pledge.
5 : 13 At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
5 : 14 Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house, and give the enemy no occasion for reproach;
5 : 15 for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
5 : 16 If any woman who is a believer has dependent widows, she must assist them and the church must not be burdened, so that it may assist those who are widows indeed.
5 : 17 The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
5 : 18 For the Scripture says, "YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE HE IS THRESHING," and "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
5 : 19 Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses.
5 : 20 Those who continue in sin, rebuke in the presence of all, so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.
5 : 21 I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus and of His chosen angels, to maintain these principles without bias, doing nothing in a spirit of partiality.
5 : 22 Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thereby share responsibility for the sins of others; keep yourself free from sin.
5 : 23 No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.
5 : 24 The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after.
5 : 25 Likewise also, deeds that are good are quite evident, and those which are otherwise cannot be concealed.
