1 Timothy 5:13-25

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 1gossipsG5397 and 2busybodiesG4021, talkingG2980 about 3thingsG1189 not properG1189 to mention. 14ThereforeG3767, I wantG1014 youngerG3501 widows to getG1060 4marriedG1060, haveG5041 childrenG5041, 5manageG3616 their householdsG3616, and 6giveG1325 the enemyG480 noG3367 opportunityG874 for reproachG3059; 15for someG5100 7have alreadyG2235 turnedG1624 awayG1624 to followG3694 8SatanG4567. 16IfG1487 anyG5100 womanG5100 who is a believerG4103 9hasG2192 dependent widowsG5503, she must 10assistG1884 them and the churchG1577 must not be burdenedG916, soG2443 thatG2443 it may assistG1884 thoseG3588 who are actuallyG3689 11widowsG5503.

1712The eldersG4245 who 13leadG4291 wellG2573 are to be consideredG515 worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honorG5092, especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 who 14workG2872 hardG2872 15at preachingG3056 and teachingG1319. 18For the ScriptureG1124 saysG3004, “16You shall not muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 while it is threshingG248,” and “17The laborerG2040 is worthyG514 of his wagesG3408.” 19Do not acceptG3858 an accusationG2724 againstG2596 an 18elderG4245 exceptG1622G1508 on the basisG1909 of 19twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 20ThoseG3588 who continue in sinG264, 20rebukeG1651 inG1799 theG1799 presenceG1799 ofG1799 allG3956, 21soG2443 thatG2443 the restG3062 alsoG2532 will be fearfulG5401 of sinning. 2122I 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. 2223Do not layG2007 handsG5495 uponG2007 anyoneG3367 tooG5030 quicklyG5030 and 24therebyG3366 shareG2841 25responsibility for the sinsG266 of othersG245; keepG5083 yourselfG4572 26freeG53 fromG53 sinG53.

23Do notG3371 goG3371 onG3371 drinkingG5202 onlyG5202 waterG5202, but 27useG5530 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 28followG1872 afterG1872. 25LikewiseG5615 alsoG2532, deedsG2041 that are goodG2570 are quiteG4271 evidentG4271, and 29thoseG3588 which are otherwiseG247 cannotG1410G3756 be concealedG2928.
