5:1 Rebuke
not
an
Elder,
but
intreate
him
as
a
father,
and
the
yonger
men
as
brethren:
5:2 The
elder
women
as
mothers,
the
yonger
as
sisters
with
all
puritie.
5:3 Honour
widowes
that
are
widowes
indeed.
5:4 But
if
any
widow
haue
children
or
nephewes,
let
them
learne
first
to
shew
pietie
at
home,
and
to
requite
their
parents:
for
that
is
good
and
acceptable
before
God.
5:5 Now
she
that
is
a
widow
in
deed,
and
desolate,
trusteth
in
God,
and
continueth
in
supplications
and
prayers
night
and
day.
5:6 But
she
that
liueth
in
pleasure,
is
dead
while
she
liueth.
5:7 And
these
things
giue
in
charge,
that
they
may
be
blamelesse.
5:8 But
if
any
prouide
not
for
his
owne,
&
specially
for
those
of
his
owne
house,
hee
hath
denied
the
faith,
and
is
worse
then
an
infidel.
5:9 Let
not
a
widow
bee
taken
into
the
number,
vnder
threescore
yeeres
old,
hauing
bene
the
wife
of
one
man,
5:10 Well
reported
of
for
good
works,
if
shee
haue
brought
vp
children,
if
shee
haue
lodged
strangers,
if
she
haue
washed
the
Saints
feet,
if
shee
haue
releeued
the
afflicted,
if
shee
haue
diligently
followed
euery
good
worke.
5:11 But
the
yonger
widowes
refuse:
for
when
they
haue
begunne
to
waxe
wanton
against
Christ,
they
will
marry,
5:12 Hauing
damnation,
because
they
haue
cast
off
their
first
faith.
5:13 And
withall
they
learne
to
bee
idle,
wandering
about
from
house
to
house;
and
not
onely
idle,
but
tatlers
also,
and
busibodies,
speaking
things
which
they
ought
not.
5:14 I
will
therefore
that
the
yonger
women
marry,
beare
children,
guid
the
house,
giue
none
occasion
to
the
aduersary
to
speake
reprochfully.
5:15 For
some
are
already
turned
aside
after
Satan.
5:16 If
any
man
or
woman
that
beleeueth
haue
widowes,
let
them
relieue
them,
and
let
not
the
Church
be
charged,
that
it
may
relieue
them
that
are
widowes
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
mousell
the
oxe
that
treadeth
out
the
corne:
and,
The
labourer
is
worthy
of
his
reward.
5:19 Against
an
Elder
receiue
not
an
accusation,
but
before
two
or
three
witnesses.
5:20 Them
that
sinne
rebuke
before
all,
that
others
also
may
feare.
5:21 I
charge
thee
before
God,
and
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ,
and
the
elect
Angels,
that
thou
obserue
these
things
without
preferring
one
before
another,
doing
nothing
by
partialitie.
5:22 Lay
hands
suddenly
on
no
man,
neither
bee
partaker
of
other
mens
sinnes.
Keepe
thy
selfe
pure.
5:23 Drinke
no
longer
water,
but
vse
a
little
wine
for
thy
stomackes
sake,
and
thine
often
infirmities.
5:24 Some
mens
sinnes
are
open
before
hand,
going
before
to
iudgement:
and
some
men
they
follow
after.
5:25 Likewise
also
the
good
works
of
some
are
manifest
before
hand,
and
they
that
are
otherwise,
cannot
be
hid.
