1Rebuke^G1969 not^G3361 an elder^G4245, but^G235 exhort^G3870 him as^G5613 a father^G3962; the younger men^G3501 as^G5613 brethren^G80: 2the elder women^G4245 as^G5613 mothers^G3384; the younger^G3501 as^G5613 sisters^G79, in^G1722 all^G3956 purity^G47. 3Honor^G5091 widows^G5503 that are^G3689 widows^G5503 indeed^G3689. 4But^G1161 if^G1487 any^G5100 widow^G5503 hath^G2192 children^G5043 or^G2228 grandchildren^G1549, let them learn^G3129 first^G4412 to show piety^G2151 towards their own family^G3624, and^G2532 to^G591 requite^G287 their parents^G4269: for^G1063 this^G5124 is^G2076 acceptable^G587 in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316. 5Now^G1161 she that^G3588 is^G3689 a widow^G5503 indeed^G3689, and^G2532 desolate^G3443, hath her hope^G1679 set on^G1909 God^G2316, and^G2532 continueth in^G4357 supplications^G1162 and^G2532 prayers^G4335 night^G3571 and^G2532 day^G2250. 6But^G1161 she that^G3588 giveth herself to pleasure^G4684 is dead^G2348 while she liveth^G2198. 7These things^G5023 also command^G3853, that^G2443 they may be^G5600 without reproach^G423. 8But^G1161 if^G1487 any^G5100 provideth^G4306 not^G3756 for^G4306 his own^G2398, and^G2532 specially^G3122 his own household^G3609, he hath denied^G720 the faith^G4102, and^G2532 is^G2076 worse^G5501 than an unbeliever^G571. 9Let^G2639 none^G3361 be enrolled^G2639 as a widow^G5503 under^G1640 threescore^G1835 years old^G2094, having been^G1096 the wife^G1135 of one^G1520 man^G435, 10well reported of^G3140 for^G1722 good^G2570 works^G2041; if^G1487 she hath brought up children^G5044, if^G1487 she hath used hospitality to strangers^G3580, if^G1487 she hath washed^G3538 the saints^G40' feet^G4228, if^G1487 she hath relieved^G1884 the afflicted^G2346, if^G1487 she hath diligently followed^G1872 every^G3956 good^G18 work^G2041. 11But^G1161 younger^G3501 widows^G5503 refuse^G3868: for^G1063 when^G3752 they have waxed wanton against^G2691 Christ^G5547, they desire^G2309 to marry^G1060; 12having^G2192 condemnation^G2917, because^G3754 they have rejected^G114 their^G3588 first^G4413 pledge^G4102. 13And^G1161 withal^G260 they learn^G3129 also to be idle^G692, going about^G4022 from house to house^G3614; and^G1161 not^G3756 only^G3440 idle^G692, but^G235 tattlers^G5397 also^G2532 and^G2532 busybodies^G4021, speaking^G2980 things which^G3588 they ought^G1163 not^G3361. 14I desire^G1014 therefore^G3767 that^G1060 the younger widows^G3501 marry^G1060, bear children^G5041, rule the household^G3616, give^G1325 no^G3367 occasion^G874 to the adversary^G480 for reviling^G3059: 15for^G1063 already^G2235 some^G5100 are^G1624 turned aside^G1624 after^G3694 Satan^G4567. 16If^G1487 any^G5100 woman^G4103 that believeth^G4103 hath^G2192 widows^G5503, let her relieve^G1884 them^G846, and^G2532 let^G916 not^G3361 the church^G1577 be burdened^G916; that^G2443 it may relieve^G1884 them that^G3588 are^G3689 widows^G5503 indeed^G3689. 17Let^G515 the elders^G4245 that rule^G4291 well^G2573 be counted worthy^G515 of double^G1362 honor^G5092, especially^G3122 those who labor^G2872 in^G1722 the word^G3056 and^G2532 in teaching^G1319. 18For^G1063 the scripture^G1124 saith^G3004, Thou shalt^G5392 not^G3756 muzzle^G5392 the ox^G1016 when he treadeth out the corn^G248. And^G2532, The laborer^G2040 is worthy^G514 of his^G846 hire^G3408. 19Against^G2596 an elder^G4245 receive^G3858 not^G3361 an accusation^G2724, except^G1622 at^G1909 the mouth of two^G1417 or^G2228 three^G5140 witnesses^G3144. 20Them that sin^G264 reprove^G1651 in the sight^G1799 of all^G3956, that^G2443 the rest^G3062 also^G2532 may^G2192 be in fear^G5401. 21I charge^G1263 thee in the sight^G1799 of God^G2316, and^G2532 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 the elect^G1588 angels^G32, that^G2443 thou observe^G5442 these things^G5023 without^G5565 prejudice^G4299, doing^G4160 nothing^G3367 by^G2596 partiality^G4346. 22Lay^G2007 hands^G5495 hastily^G5030 on^G2007 no man^G3367, neither^G3366 be partaker of^G2841 other men's^G245 sins^G266: keep^G5083 thyself^G4572 pure^G53. 23Be no longer^G3371 a drinker^G5202 of water^G5202, but^G235 use^G5530 a little^G3641 wine^G3631 for^G1223 thy^G4675 stomach's^G4751 sake^G1223 and^G2532 thine^G4675 often^G4437 infirmities^G769. 24Some^G5100 men's^G444 sins^G266 are^G1526 evident^G4271, going before^G4254 unto^G1519 judgment^G2920; and^G1161 some^G5100 men also they follow after^G1872. 25In like^G5615 manner also^G2532 there are^G2076 good^G2570 works^G2041 that are^G2192 evident^G4271; and^G2532 such as are^G2192 otherwise^G247 cannot^G3756 be hid^G2928.
