1 Timothy 5:1
An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as a father; younger persons as brethren;
1 Timothy 5:2
aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters--in all purity;
1 Timothy 5:3
honour widows who are really widows;
1 Timothy 5:4
and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable before God.
1 Timothy 5:5
And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers night and day,
1 Timothy 5:6
and she who is given to luxury, living--hath died;
1 Timothy 5:7
and these things charge, that they may be blameless;
1 Timothy 5:8
and if any one for his own--and especially for those of the household--doth not provide, the faith he hath denied, and than an unbeliever he is worse.
1 Timothy 5:9
A widow--let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age, having been a wife of one husband,
1 Timothy 5:10
in good works being testified to: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good work she followed after;
1 Timothy 5:11
and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel against the Christ, they wish to marry,
1 Timothy 5:12
having judgment, because the first faith they did cast away,
1 Timothy 5:13
and at the same time also, they learn to be idle, going about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and busybodies, speaking the things they ought not;
1 Timothy 5:14
I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children, to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the opposer to reviling;
1 Timothy 5:15
for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary.
1 Timothy 5:16
If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that those really widows it may relieve.
1 Timothy 5:17
The well-leading elders of double honour let them be counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and teaching,
1 Timothy 5:18
for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not muzzle,' and `Worthy is the workman of his reward.'
1 Timothy 5:19
Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two or three witnesses.
1 Timothy 5:20
Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may have fear;
1 Timothy 5:21
I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep, without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality.
1 Timothy 5:22
Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure;
1 Timothy 5:23
no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using, because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities;
1 Timothy 5:24
of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading before to judgment, and certain also they follow after;
1 Timothy 5:25
in like manner also the right works are manifest beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be hid.
