1 Timothy 5:14-19

14I desire thereforeG3767 that the younger widows marryG1060, bear children, rule the household, giveG1325 no occasionG874 to the adversary for reviling: 15for alreadyG2235 some are turnedG1624 asideG1624 after SatanG4567. 16If any woman that believeth hath widowsG5503, let her relieve them, and let not the churchG1577 be burdenedG916; that it may relieve them that are widowsG5503 indeed.

17Let the eldersG4245 that rule wellG2573 be countedG515 worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honorG5092, especiallyG3122 those who laborG2872 in the wordG3056 and in teachingG1319. 18For the scriptureG1124 saith, Thou shalt not muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthyG514 of his hire. 19Against an elderG4245 receiveG3858 not an accusationG2724, except at the mouth of twoG1417 or threeG5140 witnessesG3144.
