1 R ebukeG1969 notG3361 an elder,G4245 butG235 exhortG3870 him asG5613 a father;G3962 the younger menG3501 asG5613 brethren:G80
2 the elder womenG4245 asG5613 mothers;G3384 the youngerG3501 asG5613 sisters,G79 inG1722 allG3956 purity.G47
3 HonorG5091 widowsG5503 that areG3689 widowsG5503 indeed.G3689
4 ButG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 widowG5503 hathG2192 childrenG5043 orG2228 grandchildren,G1549 let them learnG3129 firstG4412 to show pietyG2151 towards their own family,G3624 andG2532 toG591 requiteG287 their parents:G4269 forG1063 thisG5124 isG2076 acceptableG587 in the sightG1799 of God.G2316
5 NowG1161 she thatG3588 isG3689 a widowG5503 indeed,G3689 andG2532 desolate,G3443 hath her hopeG1679 set onG1909 God,G2316 andG2532 continueth inG4357 supplicationsG1162 andG2532 prayersG4335 nightG3571 andG2532 day.G2250
6 ButG1161 she thatG3588 giveth herself to pleasureG4684 is deadG2348 while she liveth.G2198
7 G2532 These thingsG5023 also command,G3853 thatG2443 they may beG5600 without reproach.G423
8 ButG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 providethG4306 notG3756 forG4306 his own,G2398 andG2532 speciallyG3122 his own household,G3609 he hath deniedG720 the faith,G4102 andG2532 isG2076 worseG5501 than an unbeliever.G571
9 LetG2639 noneG3361 be enrolledG2639 as a widowG5503 underG1640 threescoreG1835 years old,G2094 [having been]G1096 the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 man,G435
10 well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 works;G2041 ifG1487 she hath brought up children,G5044 ifG1487 she hath used hospitality to strangers,G3580 ifG1487 she hath washedG3538 the saints'G40 feet,G4228 ifG1487 she hath relievedG1884 the afflicted,G2346 ifG1487 she hath diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 work.G2041
11 ButG1161 youngerG3501 widowsG5503 refuse:G3868 forG1063 whenG3752 they have waxed wanton againstG2691 Christ,G5547 they desireG2309 to marry;G1060
12 havingG2192 condemnation,G2917 becauseG3754 they have rejectedG114 theirG3588 firstG4413 pledge.G4102
13 AndG1161 withalG260 they learnG3129 also [to be] idle,G692 going aboutG4022 from house to house;G3614 andG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 idle,G692 butG235 tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 andG2532 busybodies,G4021 speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 not.G3361
14 I desireG1014 thereforeG3767 thatG1060 the younger [widows]G3501 marry,G1060 bear children,G5041 rule the household,G3616 giveG1325 noG3367 occasionG874 to the adversaryG480 for reviling:G3059
15 forG1063 alreadyG2235 someG5100 areG1624 turned asideG1624 afterG3694 Satan.G4567
16 IfG1487 anyG5100 G4103 G2228 womanG4103 that believethG4103 hathG2192 widows,G5503 let her relieveG1884 them,G846 andG2532 letG916 notG3361 the churchG1577 be burdened;G916 thatG2443 it may relieveG1884 them thatG3588 areG3689 widowsG5503 indeed.G3689
17 LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honor,G5092 especiallyG3122 those who laborG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 in teaching.G1319
18 ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saith,G3004 Thou shaltG5392 notG3756 muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 when he treadeth out the corn.G248 And,G2532 The laborerG2040 is worthyG514 of hisG846 hire.G3408
19 AgainstG2596 an elderG4245 receiveG3858 notG3361 an accusation,G2724 exceptG1622 atG1909 [the mouth of] twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnesses.G3144
20 Them that sinG264 reproveG1651 in the sightG1799 of all,G3956 thatG2443 the restG3062 alsoG2532 mayG2192 be in fear.G5401
21 I chargeG1263 [thee] in the sightG1799 of God,G2316 andG2532 G2962 ChristG5547 Jesus,G2424 andG2532 the electG1588 angels,G32 thatG2443 thou observeG5442 these thingsG5023 withoutG5565 prejudice,G4299 doingG4160 nothingG3367 byG2596 partiality.G4346
22 LayG2007 handsG5495 hastilyG5030 onG2007 no man,G3367 neitherG3366 be partaker ofG2841 other men'sG245 sins:G266 keepG5083 thyselfG4572 pure.G53
23 Be no longerG3371 a drinkerG5202 of water,G5202 butG235 useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 forG1223 thyG4675 stomach'sG4751 sakeG1223 andG2532 thineG4675 oftenG4437 infirmities.G769
24 SomeG5100 men'sG444 sinsG266 areG1526 evident,G4271 going beforeG4254 untoG1519 judgment;G2920 andG1161 someG5100 men also they follow after.G1872
25 In likeG5615 manner alsoG2532 there areG2076 goodG2570 worksG2041 that areG2192 evident;G4271 andG2532 such as areG2192 otherwiseG247 cannotG3756 be hid.G2928
