54_1TI_05_01 rebuke not an elder , but entreat [ him ] as A Father ; [ And ] the younger men as brethren ;
54_1TI_05_02 the elder women as mothers ; the younger as sisters , with all purity .
54_1TI_05_03 honour widows that are widows indeed .
54_1TI_05_04 but if any widow have children or nephews , let them learn first to show piety at home , And to requite their parents : for that Is good And acceptable before God .
54_1TI_05_05 now she that Is A widow indeed , And desolate , trusteth in God , And continueth in supplications And prayers night And day .
54_1TI_05_06 but she that liveth in pleasure Is dead while she liveth .
54_1TI_05_07 And These things give in charge , that they may be blameless .
54_1TI_05_08 but if any provide not for his own , And specially for those of his own house , he hath denied the faith , And Is worse than an infidel .
54_1TI_05_09 let not A widow be taken into the number under threescore years old , having been the wife of one man ,
54_1TI_05_10 Well reported of for good works ; if she have brought up children , if she have lodged strangers , if she have washed the saints' feet , if she have relieved the afflicted , if she have diligently followed every good work .
54_1TI_05_11 but the younger widows refuse : for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ , they will marry ;
54_1TI_05_12 having damnation , because they have cast off their first faith .
54_1TI_05_13 And withal they learn [ to be ] idle , wandering about from house to house ; And not only idle , but tattlers also And busybodies , speaking things which they ought not .
54_1TI_05_14 I will therefore that the younger women marry , bear children , guide the house , give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully .
54_1TI_05_15 for some are already turned aside after Satan .
54_1TI_05_16 if any man or woman that believeth have widows , let them relieve them , And let not the church be charged ; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed .
54_1TI_05_17 let the elders that rule Well be counted worthy of double honour , Especially they who labour in the word And doctrine .
54_1TI_05_18 for the scripture saith , thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn . And , the labourer [ Is ] worthy of his reward .
54_1TI_05_19 against an elder receive not an accusation , but before two or three witnesses .
54_1TI_05_20 them that sin rebuke before all , that others also may Fear .
54_1TI_05_21 I charge [ thee ] before God , And the LORD Jesus Christ , And the Elect angels , that thou observe These things without preferring one before another , doing nothing by partiality .
54_1TI_05_22 lay hands suddenly on no man , neither be partaker of other men's sins : keep thyself pure .
54_1TI_05_23 drink no longer water , but use A little wine for thy stomach's sake And thine often infirmities .
54_1TI_05_24 some men's sins are open beforehand , going before to judgment ; And some [ men ] they follow after .
54_1TI_05_25 Likewise also the good works [ of some ] are manifest beforehand ; And they that are Otherwise cannot be hid .
