5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat [him] as a father; [and]
the younger men as brethren;
5:2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with
all purity.
5:3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.
5:4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn
first to show piety at home, and to requite their parents: for
that is good and acceptable before God.
5:5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in
God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
5:6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
5:7 And these things give in charge, that they may be
blameless.
5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for
those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse
than an infidel.
5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore
years old, having been the wife of one man,
5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up
children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the
saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have
diligently followed every good work.
5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun
to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first
faith.
5:13 And withal they learn [to be] idle, wandering about from
house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and
busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
5:14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear
children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary
to speak reproachfully.
5:15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.
5:16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them
relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may
relieve them that are widows indeed.
5:17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of
double honour, especially they who labour in the word and
doctrine.
5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox
that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer [is] worthy of
his reward.
5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before
two or three witnesses.
5:20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may
fear.
5:21 I charge [thee] before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ,
and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without
preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of
other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy
stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
5:24 Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to
judgment; and some [men] they follow after.
5:25 Likewise also the good works [of some] are manifest
beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
