New American Standard Bible 2020

Honor Widows

11Do not sharplyG1969 rebukeG1969 an 2olderG4245 manG4245, but rather appealG3870 to him as a fatherG3962, and to 3the youngerG3501 menG3501 as brothersG80, 2to the olderG4245 womenG4245 as mothersG3384, and to the youngerG3501 womenG3501 as sistersG79, in allG3956 purityG47.

3HonorG5091 widowsG5503 who are actuallyG3689 4widowsG5503; 4but ifG1487 anyG5100 widowG5503 hasG2192 childrenG5043 orG2228 grandchildrenG1549, 5they must firstG4413 learnG3129 to showG2151 properG2151 respectG2151 for their ownG2398 familyG3624 and to giveG591 backG591 compensationG287 to their parentsG4269; for thisG3778 is 6acceptableG587 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316. 5NowG1161 she who is actuallyG3689 a 7widowG5503 and has been leftG3443 aloneG3443 8has setG1679 her hopeG1679 on GodG2316, and she continuesG4357 in 9requestsG1162 and prayersG4335 nightG3571 and dayG2250. 6But she who 10indulgesG4684 herself inG4684 luxuryG4684 is 11deadG2348, even while she livesG2198. 71213GiveG3853 theseG3778 instructionsG3853 asG2532 wellG2532, soG2443 thatG2443 they may be aboveG423 reproachG423. 8But ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not provideG4306 for his ownG2398, and especiallyG3122 for thoseG3609 ofG3609 his householdG3609, he has 14deniedG720 the faithG4102 and is worseG5501 than an unbelieverG571.

9A widowG5503 is to be 15putG2639 onG2639 theG2639 listG2639 only if she is not lessG1640 than sixtyG1835 yearsG2094 old, having been 16the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 manG435, 10havingG3140 aG3140 reputationG3140 for 17goodG2570 worksG2041; and ifG1487 she has broughtG5044 upG5044 childrenG5044, ifG1487 she has 18shownG3580 hospitalityG3580 toG3580 strangersG3580, ifG1487 she 19has washedG3538 the 20saints’G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she has 21assistedG1884 those inG2346 distressG2346, and ifG1487 she has devotedG1872 herselfG1872 to everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 11But refuseG3868 to register youngerG3501 widowsG5503, for whenG3752 they feelG2691 22physicalG2691 desiresG2691 alienatingG2691 them from ChristG5547, they wantG2309 to getG1060 marriedG1060, 12thereby incurringG2192 condemnationG2917, becauseG3754 they have 23ignoredG114 their previousG4413 pledgeG4102. 13At the sameG260 timeG260 they alsoG2532 learnG3129 to be idleG692, as they goG4022 aroundG4022 from houseG3614 to houseG3614; and not merelyG3441 idleG692, but alsoG2532 they become 24gossipsG5397 and 25busybodiesG4021, talkingG2980 about 26thingsG1189 not properG1189 to mention. 14ThereforeG3767, I wantG1014 youngerG3501 widows to getG1060 27marriedG1060, haveG5041 childrenG5041, 28manageG3616 their householdsG3616, and 29giveG1325 the enemyG480 noG3367 opportunityG874 for reproachG3059; 15for someG5100 30have alreadyG2235 turnedG1624 awayG1624 to followG3694 31SatanG4567. 16IfG1487 anyG5100 womanG5100 who is a believerG4103 32hasG2192 dependent widowsG5503, she must 33assistG1884 them and the churchG1577 must not be burdenedG916, soG2443 thatG2443 it may assistG1884 thoseG3588 who are actuallyG3689 34widowsG5503.

Concerning Elders

1735The eldersG4245 who 36leadG4291 wellG2573 are to be consideredG515 worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honorG5092, especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 who 37workG2872 hardG2872 38at preachingG3056 and teachingG1319. 18For the ScriptureG1124 saysG3004, “39You shall not muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 while it is threshingG248,” and “40The laborerG2040 is worthyG514 of his wagesG3408.” 19Do not acceptG3858 an accusationG2724 againstG2596 an 41elderG4245 exceptG1622G1508 on the basisG1909 of 42twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 20ThoseG3588 who continue in sinG264, 43rebukeG1651 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 allG3956, 44soG2443 thatG2443 the restG3062 alsoG2532 will be fearfulG5401 of sinning. 2145I solemnlyG1263 exhortG1263 you inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316 and of ChristG5547 JesusG2424 and of His chosenG1588 angelsG32, to maintainG5442 theseG3778 principles withoutG5565 biasG4299, doingG4160 nothingG3367 in a spirit of partialityG4346. 2246Do not layG2007 handsG5495 uponG2007 anyoneG3367 tooG5030 quicklyG5030 and 47therebyG3366 shareG2841 48responsibility for the sinsG266 of othersG245; keepG5083 yourselfG4572 49freeG53 fromG53 sinG53.

23Do notG3371 goG3371 onG3371 drinkingG5202 onlyG5202 waterG5202, but 50useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 for the sakeG1223 of your stomachG4751 and your frequentG4437 ailmentsG769.

24The sinsG266 of someG5100 peopleG444 are quiteG4271 evidentG4271, goingG4254 beforeG4254 them to judgmentG2920; for othersG5100, their sins 51followG1872 afterG1872. 25LikewiseG5615 alsoG2532, deedsG2041 that are goodG2570 are quiteG4271 evidentG4271, and 52thoseG3588 which are otherwiseG247 cannotG1410G3756 be concealedG2928.
