1RebukeG1969 notG3361 an elderG4245, butG235 intreatG3870 him asG5613 a fatherG3962; and the younger menG3501 asG5613 brethrenG80; 2The elder womenG4245 asG5613 mothersG3384; the youngerG3501 asG5613 sistersG79, withG1722 allG3956 purityG47. 3

HonourG5091 widowsG5503 that areG3689 widowsG5503 indeedG3689. 4ButG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 widowG5503 haveG2192 childrenG5043 orG2228 nephewsG1549, let them learnG3129 firstG4412 to shew pietyG2151 at homeG3588G3624, andG2532 to requiteG591 their parentsG3588G4269: forG1063 thatG3778 isG1510 goodG2570 andG2532 acceptableG587 beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316. 5NowG1161 she thatG3588 isG3689 a widowG5503 indeedG3689, andG2532 desolateG3443, trustethG1679 inG1909 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 continueth inG4357 supplicationsG3588G1162 andG2532 prayersG3588G4335 nightG3571 andG2532 dayG2250. 6ButG1161 she thatG3588 liveth in pleasureG4684 is deadG2348 while she livethG2198. 7AndG2532 these thingsG3778 give in chargeG3853, thatG2443 they may beG1510 blamelessG423. 8ButG1161 ifG1487 anyG5100 provideG4306 notG3756 forG4306 his ownG2398, andG2532 speciallyG3122 for those of his own houseG3609, he hath deniedG720 the faithG3588G4102, andG2532 isG1510 worseG5501 than an infidelG571. 9LetG2639 notG3361 a widowG5503 be taken into the numberG2639 underG1640 threescoreG1835 years oldG2094, having beenG1096 the wifeG1135 of oneG1520 manG435, 10Well reported ofG3140 forG1722 goodG2570 worksG2041; ifG1487 she have brought up childrenG5044, ifG1487 she have lodged strangersG3580, ifG1487 she have washedG3538 the saints’G40 feetG4228, ifG1487 she have relievedG1884 the afflictedG2346, ifG1487 she have diligently followedG1872 everyG3956 goodG18 workG2041. 11ButG1161 the youngerG3501 widowsG5503 refuseG3868: forG1063 whenG3752 they have begun to wax wanton againstG2691 ChristG3588G5547, they willG2309 marryG1060; 12HavingG2192 damnationG2917, becauseG3754 they have cast offG114 theirG3588 firstG4413 faithG4102. 13AndG1161 withalG260 they learnG3129 to be idleG692, wandering aboutG4022 from house to houseG3588G3614; andG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 idleG692, butG235 tattlersG5397 alsoG2532 andG2532 busybodiesG4021, speakingG2980 things whichG3588 they oughtG1163 notG3361. 14I willG1014 thereforeG3767 thatG1060 the younger womenG3501 marryG1060, bear childrenG5041, guide the houseG3616, giveG1325 noneG3367 occasionG874 to the adversaryG480 to speak reproachfullyG3059. 15ForG1063 someG5100 areG1624 alreadyG2235 turned asideG1624 afterG3694 SatanG3588G4567. 16IfG1487 anyG5100 manG4103 orG2228 womanG4103 that believethG4103 haveG2192 widowsG5503, let them relieveG1884 themG846, andG2532 letG916 notG3361 the AssemblyG3588G1577 be chargedG916; thatG2443 it may relieveG1884 them thatG3588 areG3689 widowsG5503 indeedG3689. 17

LetG515 the eldersG4245 that ruleG4291 wellG2573 be counted worthyG515 of doubleG1362 honourG5092, especiallyG3122 they who labourG2872 inG1722 the wordG3056 andG2532 doctrineG1319. 18ForG1063 the scriptureG3588G1124 saithG3004, Thou shaltG5392 notG3756 muzzleG5392 the oxG1016 that treadeth out the grainG248. AndG2532, The labourerG3588G2040 is worthyG514 of hisG846 rewardG3588G3408. 19

AgainstG2596 an elderG4245 receiveG3858 notG3361 an accusationG2724, butG1622 beforeG1909 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144. 20Them that sinG264 rebukeG1651 beforeG1799 allG3956, thatG2443 othersG3062 alsoG2532 mayG2192 fearG5401. 21I chargeG1263 thee beforeG1799 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 the electG1588 angelsG32, thatG2443 thou observeG5442 these thingsG3778 withoutG5565 preferring one before anotherG4299, doingG4160 nothingG3367 byG2596 partialityG4346.

22LayG2007 handsG5495 suddenlyG5030 onG2007 no manG3367, neitherG3366 be partaker ofG2841 other men’sG245 sinsG266: keepG5083 thyselfG4572 pureG53. 23

DrinkG5202 no longerG3371 waterG5202, butG235 useG5530 a littleG3641 wineG3631 forG1223 thyG4771 stomach’sG3588G4751 sakeG1223 andG2532 thineG4771 oftenG4437 infirmitiesG769. 24

SomeG5100 men’sG444 sinsG3588G266 areG1510 open beforehandG4271, going beforeG4254 toG1519 judgmentG2920; andG1161 someG5100 men they follow afterG1872. 25LikewiseG5615 alsoG2532 the goodG3588G2570 worksG2041 of some areG1510 manifest beforehandG4271; andG2532 they that areG3588G2192 otherwiseG247 cannotG3756G1410 be hidG2928.
