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
and
acceptable
before
God.
But
if a
widow has
children or grandchildren, they
must
first learn
to show
godliness
to
their own family
and repay
their
parents, for this is pleasing
in
the
sight
of
God.
And

who is really
a
widow
and
desolate,
hath
hoped
upon
God,
and
doth
remain
in the
supplications
and in the
prayers
night and day ,
The
widow
who is truly
in need
and left
all
alone
puts
her
hope
in God
and
continues
night and day in
her
petitions
and
prayers.

she who is given
to
luxury,
living
--
hath
died;
But
she who lives
for
pleasure
is dead
even
while
she
is
still
alive.
and
these things
charge
, that they may
be blameless;
Give
these instructions
to
the
believers
, so
that they will
be above
reproach.
and
if any
one
for his own --
and especially for
those
of
the
household --
doth
not
provide
, the
faith
he hath
denied ,
and than an unbeliever he
is
worse
.
If anyone

A widow --
let
her
not
be enrolled under
sixty years of
age
, having
been
a
wife of one husband
,
A widow should
be enrolled if
she
is
at
least
sixty years old
, the
wife of one man
,
in
good works
being
testified
to:
if
she
brought
up children, if
she
entertained
strangers, if
saints'
feet she
washed
, if
those
in
tribulation
she
relieved
, if
every good work she
followed
after;
and
well
known
for
good deeds
such
as
bringing
up children, entertaining
strangers, washing
the
feet of
the
saints
, imparting
relief
to
the
afflicted
, and
devoting
herself
to
every good work .
and
younger widows be
refusing,
for when they
may
revel
against
the
Christ, they wish
to marry,
But
refuse
to
enroll
younger widows .
For when their
passions
draw
them
away
from
Christ, they will
want
to marry,
having
judgment ,
because the
first faith they
did
cast
away,
and
thus
will
incur
judgment because they
are
setting
aside
their
first faith .
and
at the same time also,
they learn `
to be '
idle, going about
the
houses;
and not only idle, but also tattlers
and busybodies, speaking
the
things they ought
not ;
At the same time they will
also
learn to be idle, going from
house
to
house
and being
not only idle, but also gossips
and busybodies, discussing
things they should
not mention.
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;
So
I advise
the
younger widows
to marry, have
children, and
manage
their
households
, denying
the adversary
occasion
for
slander.
for already certain
did
turn
aside after
the
Adversary
.
For some
have
already turned
aside to
follow
Satan
.
If any believing man
or
believing
woman have
widows, let
them
relieve
them ,
and let
not the assembly
be burdened, that those
really
widows
it may
relieve
.
If any believing woman has
dependent
widows, she
must
assist
them and not allow
the church
to
be burdened, so
that it can
help
the
widows
who
are
truly
in
need
.
The
well-leading
elders of double honour
let
them
be
counted
worthy
, especially those labouring
in
word
and teaching ,

lead
effectively
are
worthy
of double honor

work
hard
at
preaching
and teaching .
for the Writing
saith
, `
An ox treading out thou
shalt
not
muzzle
, '
and `Worthy
`is'
the workman
of his reward
. '
For the Scripture
says
, “Do
not
muzzle
an ox while
it
is
treading out the
grain
, ”
and ,
“
The worker
is
worthy
of his wages
. ”
Against an elder an
accusation
receive
not
, except upon
two or three witnesses.

an
accusation

the
testimony
of

Those sinning,
reprove
before
all
, that the others also
may
have
fear ;
But
those who
persist
in
sin
should
be
rebuked
in
front
of
everyone
, so
that the others will
stand
in
fear of
sin.
I testify
fully,
before God and the
Lord
Jesus
Christ ,
and the choice
messengers,
that
these things
thou
mayest
keep,
without forejudging
, doing
nothing by
partiality.
I solemnly
charge
you
before God and Christ Jesus
and the elect
angels
to
maintain
these principles
without bias
, and
to
do
nothing out
of
partiality.
Be laying hands
quickly
on no
one,
nor
be
having
fellowship
with
sins of others ;
be
keeping
thyself
pure ;
Do
not
be too
quick
in
the
laying on of
hands
and
thereby
share
in
the
sins of others .
Keep
yourself
pure .
no
longer
be
drinking water ,
but
a little wine be
using
, because of thy
stomach and of
thine
often
infirmities;
Stop
drinking only
water and
use
a little wine instead
, because of your
stomach and your
frequent
ailments.
of
certain
men
the sins are manifest
beforehand
, leading
before
to judgment ,
and
certain
also
they
follow
after
;
The sins of
some
men
are obvious
, going
ahead
of
them
to judgment; but
the
sins
of
others
do
not
surface
until
later.
in like
manner
also
the right
works
are manifest
beforehand
, and those
that are otherwise
are
not
able
to
be
hid
.
In the same
way,
good
deeds
are obvious
, and even
the
ones
that are inconspicuous
cannot
remain
hidden
.
