CHAPTER 5 Concerning Widows

1 [⁴an elder ²not ¹You should ³rebuke], but appeal to him as a father! younger men as brethren; 2 elder women as mothers; younger women as sisters, with all purity. 3 [²widows ¹Esteem], the ones really widows! 4 And if any widow [²children ³or ⁴progeny ¹has], let them learn first [²for their own ³house ¹to be pious], and [²a repayment ¹to repay] to their precursors! for this is good and worthy of being received before God. 5 And the one really a widow, and being left alone, has hope in God, and remains in the supplications and in the prayers night and day. 6 But the one living extravagantly, while living, has died. 7 And these things exhort, that they should be unassailable! 8 And if any [³of his own ⁴and ⁵especially ⁶of the ones ⁷of his family ¹does not ²think beforehand], [²the ³belief ¹he has denied], and is [²unbelieving ¹worse than]. 9 [³a widow ¹Let ⁴be enrolled ²not ⁶less than ⁸years old ⁷sixty ⁵being ¹⁰of one ¹¹husband ⁹a wife], 10 with [²works ¹good] being witnessed, if she reared children, if she was hospitable, if holy one's feet she washed, if to the ones being afflicted she assisted, if every [²work ¹good] she followed after. 11 And younger widows refuse; for whenever they should grow careless towards the Christ, [²to marry ¹they want], 12 having judgment, because the first belief they disregarded. 13 And together also idly they learn to go around the houses; [²not ³only ¹but] idle, but also in prating and useless works, speaking the things they must not. 14 I prefer then younger ones to marry, to bear children, to manage the home, not one opportunity to give to the adversary reviling favor. 15 For already some were turned aside after Satan. 16 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, assist them, and do not weigh down the assembly; that [²the ones ³really ⁴widows ¹it should assist]!

Concerning Elders

17 [²the ⁴being well ⁵in charge ³elders ⁷of double ⁸honor ¹Let ⁶be worthy], especially the ones tiring in the word and instruction! 18 [⁴says ¹For ²the ³scripture], [³an ox ⁴threshing ¹You shall not ²muzzle]. And, [³is worthy ¹The ²worker] of his wage. 19 [⁵against ⁶an elder ⁴a charge ¹Do not ²welcome ³from outside], unless by two or three witnesses! 20 The ones sinning [²before ³all ¹reprove], that also the rest [²fear ¹should have]! 21 I testify before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the chosen angels, that these things you should guard, separate from prejudice, nothing doing by inclination. 22 A hand quickly place upon no one! nor participate with sins of strangers! [²yourself ³pure ¹keep]! 23 No longer drink water, but [³wine ²a little ¹use] because of your stomach, and your frequent sicknesses! 24 Of some men the sins are exposed to view, leading before to judgment; but some also follow after. 25 Likewise also the good works are exposed to view, and the ones otherwise having taken place [³to be hid ¹are not ²able].
