of
God.

if any
widow have
children or grandchildren, let
them
learn first
to their own house
to
show
piety,
and to
give
back
a
recompense
to
the
parents, for this is right

acceptable
before
God.

night
and day
in her
petitions
and prayers .

least
sixty years old
, the
wife of one man
,

a
wife of one husband

good deeds

the
feet
of
the
saints, imparting
relief
to
the
afflicted
, and
devoting
herself
to
every good work .
in
good works
being
testified
to:
if
she
brought
up children, if

refuse
to
enroll
younger widows .
For when their
passions
draw
them
away
from
Christ, they will
want
to marry,
and
younger widows be

for when they
may
revel
against
the
Christ, they wish
to marry,
and
thus
will
incur
judgment because they
are
setting
aside
their
first faith .

first faith they
did

they
learn `
to be '
idle, going about
the
houses;
and not only idle, but also tattlers
and busybodies, speaking
the
things they ought
not ;
So
I advise
the
younger widows
to marry, have
children, and
manage
their
households,
denying
the adversary
occasion for
slander.
I wish,
therefore,
younger ones
to marry, to
bear
children, to
be
mistress
of
the house,
to
give
no
occasion to
the
opposer
to
reviling;
For some
have
already turned
aside to
follow
Satan
.
for already certain

turn
aside after
the
Adversary

need
.

an ox while
it
is

not
muzzle
, '
and `
Worthy `is'
the
workman
of his reward
. '

But
those who

in

in
front

in
fear of
sin.
Those sinning
, reprove
before
all,
that the others also
may
have
fear ;
I solemnly
charge
you
before God and Christ
Jesus and the elect
angels
to
maintain
these principles
without bias

before God and the
Lord
Jesus Christ,
and the choice
messengers,
that
these things
thou
mayest
keep,
without forejudging
, doing
nothing by
partiality.

on
no
one,
nor
be
having
fellowship
with
sins of others ;

keeping
thyself
pure ;

drinking only
water and
use
a little wine instead
, because of your
stomach and your
frequent
ailments.

The
sins
of some
men are obvious
, going
ahead
of
them
to judgment; but
the
sins
of
others
do
not
surface
until
later.
of certain
men the
sins
are manifest
beforehand
, leading
before
to judgment ,
and
certain
also
they
follow
after
;
In the same
way,
good
deeds
are obvious
, and even
the
ones
that are inconspicuous
cannot
remain
hidden
.
in like
manner
also
the right
works
are manifest
beforehand
, and those
that are otherwise
are
not
able
to
be
hid
.
