1 Timothy 5:9-25

9A widowG5503 is to be 1putG2639 on the listG2639 only if she is not lessG1640 than sixtyG1835 yearsG2094 old, having been 2the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 manG435, 10havingG3140 a reputationG3140 for 3goodG2570 worksG2041; and ifG1487 she has broughtG5044 up childrenG5044, ifG1487 she has 4shownG3580 hospitalityG3580 to strangersG3580, ifG1487 she 5has washedG3538 the 6saints’G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she has 7assistedG1884 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 8sensualG2691 desiresG2691 in disregardG2691 of ChristG5547, they wantG2309 to getG1060 marriedG1060, 12thus incurringG2192 condemnationG2917, becauseG3754 they have setG114 asideG114 their previousG4413 9pledgeG4102. 13At the sameG260 timeG260 they alsoG2532 learnG3129 to be idleG692, as they goG4022 aroundG4022 from houseG3614 to houseG3614; and not merelyG3441 idleG692, but alsoG2532 10gossipsG5397 and 11busybodiesG4021, talkingG2980 about 12thingsG1189 not properG1189 to mention. 14ThereforeG3767, I wantG1014 youngerG3501 widows to getG1060 13marriedG1060, bearG5041 childrenG5041, 14keepG3616 houseG3616, and 15giveG1325 the enemyG480 noG3367 occasionG874 for reproachG3059; 15for someG5100 16have alreadyG2235 turnedG1624 asideG1624 to followG3694 17SatanG4567. 16IfG1487 anyG5100 womanG5100 who is a believerG4103 18hasG2192 dependent widowsG5503, she must 19assistG1884 them and the churchG1577 must not be burdenedG916, soG2443 that it may assistG1884 thoseG3588 who are 20widowsG5503 indeedG3689.

1721The eldersG4245 who 22ruleG4291 wellG2573 are to be consideredG515 worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honorG5092, especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 who 23workG2872 hardG2872 24at preachingG3056 and teachingG1319. 18For the ScriptureG1124 saysG3004, “25You shall not muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 while he is threshingG248,” and “26The laborerG2040 is worthyG514 of his wagesG3408.” 19Do not receiveG3858 an accusationG2724 againstG2596 an 27elderG4245 exceptG1622G1508 on the basisG1909 of 28twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 20ThoseG3588 who continue in sinG264, 29rebukeG1651 in the presenceG1799 of allG3956, 30soG2443 that the restG3062 alsoG2532 will be fearfulG5401 of sinning. 2131I solemnlyG1263 chargeG1263 you in the presenceG1799 of GodG2316 and of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 and of His chosenG1588 angelsG32, to maintainG5442 theseG3778 principles withoutG5565 biasG4299, doingG4160 nothingG3367 in a spirit of partialityG4346. 2232Do not layG2007 handsG5495 upon anyoneG3367 too hastilyG5030 and 33therebyG3366 shareG2841 34responsibility for the sinsG266 of othersG245; keepG5083 yourselfG4572 35freeG53 from sinG53.

23NoG3371 longerG3371 drinkG5202 waterG5202 exclusively, but 36useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 for the sakeG1223 of your stomachG4751 and your frequentG4437 ailmentsG769.

24The sinsG266 of someG5100 menG444 are quiteG4271 evidentG4271, goingG4254 beforeG4254 them to judgmentG2920; for othersG5100, their sins 37followG1872 afterG1872. 25LikewiseG5615 alsoG2532, deedsG2041 that are goodG2570 are quiteG4271 evidentG4271, and 38thoseG3588 which are otherwiseG247 cannotG1410G3756 be concealedG2928.
