RebukeG1969 not an elder,G4245 but entreatG3870 him as a father;G3962 and the youngerG3501 men as brothers;G80
2
The elderG4245 women as mothers;G3384 the youngerG3501 as sisters,G79 with allG3956 purity.G47
3
HonorG5091 widowsG5503 that are widowsG5503 indeed.G3689
4
But ifG1487 anyG5100 widowG5503 haveG2192 childrenG5043 orG2228 nephews,G1549 let them learnG3129 firstG4412 to showG2151 pietyG2151 at home,G2398 and to requiteG287 G591 their parents:G4269 for that is goodG2570 and acceptableG587 beforeG1799 God.G2316
5
NowG1161 she that is a widowG5503 indeed,G3689 and desolate,G3443 trustsG1679 in God,G2316 and continuesG4357 in supplicationsG1162 and prayersG4335 nightG3571 and day.G2250
6
But she that livesG2198 in pleasureG4684 is deadG2348 while she lives.G2198
7
And theseG5023 things give in charge,G3853 that they may be blameless.G423
8
But ifG1487 anyG5100 provideG4306 not for his own,G2398 and speciallyG3122 for thoseG3588 of his ownG2398 house,G3609 he has deniedG720 the faith,G4102 and is worseG5501 than an infidel.G571
9
Let not a widowG5503 be takenG2639 into the numberG2639 underG1640 three scoreG1835 yearsG2094 old, havingG2192 beenG1096 the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 man.G435
10
WellG3140 reportedG3140 of for goodG2570 works;G2041 ifG1487 she haveG2192 broughtG5044 up children,G5044 ifG1487 she haveG2192 lodgedG3580 strangers,G3580 ifG1487 she haveG2192 washedG3538 the saints'G40 feet,G4228 ifG1487 she haveG2192 relievedG1884 the afflicted,G2346 ifG1487 she haveG2192 diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 work.G2041
11
But the youngerG3501 widowsG5503 refuse:G3868 for whenG3752 they have begunG2691 to waxG2691 wantonG2691 againstG2691 Christ,G5547 they willG2309 marry;G1060
12
HavingG2192 damnation,G2917 becauseG3754 they have castG114 offG114 their firstG4413 faith.G4102
13
And withG260 they learnG3129 to be idle,G692 wanderingG4022 aboutG4022 from houseG3614 to house;G3614 and not onlyG3440 idle,G692 but tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 and busybodies,G4021 speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 not.
14
I willG1014 thereforeG3767 that the youngerG3501 women marry,G1060 bearG5041 children,G5041 guideG3616 the house,G3616 giveG1325 noneG3361 occasionG874 to the adversaryG480 to speak reproachfullyG5484 G3059.
15
For someG5100 are alreadyG2235 turnedG1624 asideG1624 afterG3694 Satan.G4567
16
IfG1487 anyG1536 man orG2228 woman that believesG4103 haveG2192 widows,G5503 let them relieveG1884 them, and let not the churchG1577 be charged;G916 that it may relieveG1884 them that are widowsG5503 indeed.G3689
17
Let the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be countedG515 worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honor,G5092 especiallyG3122 they who laborG2872 in the wordG3056 and doctrine.G1319
18
For the scriptureG1124 said,G3004 You shall not muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 that treadsG248 out the corn. And, The laborerG2040 is worthyG514 of his reward.G3408
19
AgainstG2596 an elderG4245 receiveG3858 not an accusation,G2724 but beforeG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnesses.G3144
20
Them that sinG264 rebukeG1651 beforeG1799 all,G3956 that othersG3062 alsoG2532 may fear.G5401 G2192
21
I chargeG1263 you beforeG1799 God,G2316 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 and the electG1588 angels,G32 that you observeG5442 theseG5023 things withoutG5565 preferringG4299 one beforeG4299 another,G4299 doingG4160 nothingG3367 by partiality.G4346
22
LayG2007 handsG5495 suddenlyG5030 onG2007 noG3367 man,G3367 neitherG3366 be partakerG2841 of otherG245 men's sins:G266 keepG5083 yourselfG4572 pure.G53
23
DrinkG5202 noG3371 longerG3371 water,G5202 but useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 for your stomach'sG4751 sake and yourG4675 oftenG4437 infirmities.G769
24
SomeG5100 men's sinsG266 are openG4271 beforehand,G4271 goingG4254 beforeG4254 to judgment;G2920 and someG5100 menG444 they followG1872 after.G1872
25
LikewiseG5615 alsoG2532 the goodG2570 worksG2041 of some are manifestG4271 beforehand;G4271 and they that are otherwiseG247 cannotG3756 G1410 be hid.G2928
