1 Timothy 5:7-13

712PrescribeG3853 theseG3778 thingsG3778 as wellG2532, soG2443 that they may be aboveG423 reproachG423. 8But ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not provideG4306 for his ownG2398, and especiallyG3122 for those of his householdG3609, he has 3deniedG720 the faithG4102 and is worseG5501 than an unbelieverG571.

9A widowG5503 is to be 4putG2639 on the listG2639 only if she is not lessG1640 than sixtyG1835 yearsG2094 old, having been 5the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 manG435, 10havingG3140 a reputationG3140 for 6goodG2570 worksG2041; and ifG1487 she has broughtG5044 up childrenG5044, ifG1487 she has 7shownG3580 hospitalityG3580 to strangersG3580, ifG1487 she 8has washedG3538 the 9saints’G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she has 10assistedG1884 those in distressG2346, and ifG1487 she has devotedG1872 herselfG1872 to everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 11But refuseG3868 to put youngerG3501 widowsG5503 on the list, for whenG3752 they feelG2691 11sensualG2691 desiresG2691 in disregardG2691 of ChristG5547, they wantG2309 to getG1060 marriedG1060, 12thus incurringG2192 condemnationG2917, becauseG3754 they have setG114 asideG114 their previousG4413 12pledgeG4102. 13At the sameG260 timeG260 they alsoG2532 learnG3129 to be idleG692, as they goG4022 aroundG4022 from houseG3614 to houseG3614; and not merelyG3441 idleG692, but alsoG2532 13gossipsG5397 and 14busybodiesG4021, talkingG2980 about 15thingsG1189 not properG1189 to mention.
