5:1 Do
not
rebuke
an
older
man
but
encourage
him
as
you
would
a
father,
younger
men
as
brothers,
5:2 older
women
as
mothers,
younger
women
as
sisters,
in
all
purity.
5:3 Honor
widows
who
are
truly
widows.
5:4 But
if
a
widow
has
children
or
grandchildren,
let
them
first
learn
to
show
godliness
to
their
own
household
and
to
make
some
return
to
their
parents,
for
this
is
pleasing
in
the
sight
of
God.
5:5 She
who
is
truly
a
widow,
left
all
alone,
has
set
her
hope
on
God
and
continues
in
supplications
and
prayers
night
and
day,
5:6 but
she
who
is
self-indulgent
is
dead
even
while
she
lives.
5:7 Command
these
things
as
well,
so
that
they
may
be
without
reproach.
5:8 But
if
anyone
does
not
provide
for
his
relatives,
and
especially
for
members
of
his
household,
he
has
denied
the
faith
and
is
worse
than
an
unbeliever.
5:9 Let
a
widow
be
enrolled
if
she
is
not
less
than
sixty
years
of
age,
having
been
the
wife
of
one
husband,
5:10 and
having
a
reputation
for
good
works:
if
she
has
brought
up
children,
has
shown
hospitality,
has
washed
the
feet
of
the
saints,
has
cared
for
the
afflicted,
and
has
devoted
herself
to
every
good
work.
5:11 But
refuse
to
enroll
younger
widows,
for
when
their
passions
draw
them
away
from
Christ,
they
desire
to
marry
5:12 and
so
incur
condemnation
for
having
abandoned
their
former
faith.
5:13 Besides
that,
they
learn
to
be
idlers,
going
about
from
house
to
house,
and
not
only
idlers,
but
also
gossips
and
busybodies,
saying
what
they
should
not.
5:14 So
I
would
have
younger
widows
marry,
bear
children,
manage
their
households,
and
give
the
adversary
no
occasion
for
slander.
5:15 For
some
have
already
strayed
after
Satan.
5:16 If
any
believing
woman
has
relatives
who
are
widows,
let
her
care
for
them.
Let
the
church
not
be
burdened,
so
that
it
may
care
for
those
who
are
truly
widows.
5:17 Let
the
elders
who
rule
well
be
considered
worthy
of
double
honor,
especially
those
who
labor
in
preaching
and
teaching.
5:18 For
the
Scripture
says,
"You
shall
not
muzzle
an
ox
when
it
treads
out
the
grain,"
and,
"The
laborer
deserves
his
wages."
5:19 Do
not
admit
a
charge
against
an
elder
except
on
the
evidence
of
two
or
three
witnesses.
5:20 As
for
those
who
persist
in
sin,
rebuke
them
in
the
presence
of
all,
so
that
the
rest
may
stand
in
fear.
5:21 In
the
presence
of
God
and
of
Christ
Jesus
and
of
the
elect
angels
I
charge
you
to
keep
these
rules
without
prejudging,
doing
nothing
from
partiality.
5:22 Do
not
be
hasty
in
the
laying
on
of
hands,
nor
take
part
in
the
sins
of
others;
keep
yourself
pure.
5:23 (No
longer
drink
only
water,
but
use
a
little
wine
for
the
sake
of
your
stomach
and
your
frequent
ailments.)
5:24 The
sins
of
some
men
are
conspicuous,
going
before
them
to
judgment,
but
the
sins
of
others
appear
later.
5:25 So
also
good
works
are
conspicuous,
and
even
those
that
are
not
cannot
remain
hidden.
