1 Timothy 5 : 1 (HCSB)
Do not rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father, younger men as brothers,
1 Timothy 5 : 2 (HCSB)
older women as mothers, and with all propriety, the younger women as sisters.
1 Timothy 5 : 3 (HCSB)
Support widows who are genuinely widows.
1 Timothy 5 : 4 (HCSB)
But if any widow has children or grandchildren, they should learn to practice their religion toward their own family first and to repay their parents, for this pleases God.
1 Timothy 5 : 5 (HCSB)
The real widow, left all alone, has put her hope in God and continues night and day in her petitions and prayers;
1 Timothy 5 : 6 (HCSB)
however, she who is self-indulgent is dead even while she lives.
1 Timothy 5 : 7 (HCSB)
Command this, so that they won't be blamed.
1 Timothy 5 : 8 (HCSB)
Now if anyone does not provide for his own relatives, and especially for his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5 : 9 (HCSB)
No widow should be placed on the official support list unless she is at least 60 years old, has been the wife of one husband,
1 Timothy 5 : 10 (HCSB)
and is well known for good works-- that is, if she has brought up children, shown hospitality, washed the saints' feet, helped the afflicted, and devoted herself to every good work.
1 Timothy 5 : 11 (HCSB)
But refuse to enroll younger widows; for when they are drawn away from Christ by desire, they want to marry,
1 Timothy 5 : 12 (HCSB)
and will therefore receive condemnation because they have renounced their original pledge.
1 Timothy 5 : 13 (HCSB)
At the same time, they also learn to be idle, going from house to house; they are not only idle, but are also gossips and busybodies, saying things they shouldn't say.
1 Timothy 5 : 14 (HCSB)
Therefore, I want younger women to marry, have children, manage their households, and give the adversary no opportunity to accuse us.
1 Timothy 5 : 15 (HCSB)
For some have already turned away to follow Satan.
1 Timothy 5 : 16 (HCSB)
If any believing woman has widows, she should help them, and the church should not be burdened, so that it can help those who are genuinely widows.
1 Timothy 5 : 17 (HCSB)
The elders who are good leaders should be considered worthy of an ample honorarium, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
1 Timothy 5 : 18 (HCSB)
For the Scripture says: You must not muzzle an ox that is threshing grain, and, The laborer is worthy of his wages.
1 Timothy 5 : 19 (HCSB)
Don't accept an accusation against an elder unless it is supported by two or three witnesses.
1 Timothy 5 : 20 (HCSB)
Publicly rebuke those who sin, so that the rest will also be afraid.
1 Timothy 5 : 21 (HCSB)
I solemnly charge you, before God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing out of favoritism.
1 Timothy 5 : 22 (HCSB)
Don't be too quick to lay hands on anyone, and don't share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
1 Timothy 5 : 23 (HCSB)
Don't continue drinking only water, but use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.
1 Timothy 5 : 24 (HCSB)
Some people's sins are evident, going before them to judgment, but *the sins of others follow them.
1 Timothy 5 : 25 (HCSB)
Likewise, good works are obvious, and those that are not *obvious cannot remain hidden.
