1 Timothy 5:14-19
14SoG3767 I adviseG1014 the youngerG3501 widows to marryG1060, have childrenG5041, and manage their householdsG3616, denyingG1325G3367 theG3588 adversaryG480 occasionG874 forG5484 slanderG3059. 15ForG1063 someG5100 have already turned asideG2235G1624 to followG3694 SatanG4567.
16IfG1487 anyG5100 believingG4103 woman hasG2192 dependent widowsG5503, she must assistG1884 themG846 andG2532 notG3361 allow theG3588 churchG1577 to be burdenedG916, so thatG2443 it can helpG1884 theG3588 widowsG5503 who are trulyG3689 in need.
EldersG4245 who leadG4291 effectivelyG2573 are worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honorG5092, especiallyG3122 those whoG3588 work hardG2872 atG1722 preachingG3056 andG2532 teachingG1319. 18ForG1063 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 saysG3004, “Do not muzzleG3756G5392 an oxG1016 while it is treading out the grainG248,”1 andG2532, “TheG3588 workerG2040 is worthyG514 ofG3588 hisG846 wagesG3408.”2
19Do notG3361 entertainG3858 an accusationG2724 againstG2596 an elderG4245, exceptG1622G1487G3361 onG1909 the testimony of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144.
