5:1 Rebuke 1969 5661 not 3361 an elder 4245, but 235 intreat 3870 5720 [him] as 5613 a father 3962; [and] the younger men 3501 as 5613 brethren 80;

5:2 The elder women 4245 as 5613 mothers 3384; the younger 3501 as 5613 sisters 79, with 1722 all 3956 purity 47.

5:3 Honour 5091 5720 widows 5503 that are widows 5503 indeed 3689.

5:4 But 1161 if any 1536 widow 5503 have 2192 5719 children 5043 or 2228 nephews 1549, let them learn 3129 5720 first 4412 to shew piety 2151 5721 at home 2398 3624, and 2532 to requite 287 591 5721 their parents 4269: for 1063 that 5124 is 2076 5748 good 2570 and 2532 acceptable 587 before 1799 God 2316.(piety: or, kindness)

5:5 Now 1161 she that is a widow 5503 indeed 3689, and 2532 desolate 3443 5772, trusteth 1679 5758 in 1909 God 2316, and 2532 continueth 4357 5719 in supplications 1162 and 2532 prayers 4335 night 3571 and 2532 day 2250.

5:6 But 1161 she that liveth in pleasure 4684 5723 is dead 2348 5758 while she liveth 2198 5723.(in…: or, delicately)

5:7 And 2532 these things 5023 give in charge 3853 5720, that 2443 they may be 5600 5753 blameless 423.

5:8 But 1161 if any 1536 provide 4306 5719 not 3756 for his own 2398, and 2532 specially 3122 for those of his own house 3609, he hath denied 720 5763 the faith 4102, and 2532 is 2076 5748 worse than 5501 an infidel 571.(house: or, kindred)

5:9 Let 2639 0 not 3361 a widow 5503 be taken into the number 2639 5744 under 1640 threescore 1835 years old 2094, having been 1096 5756 the wife 1135 of one 1520 man 435,(taken…: or, chosen)

5:10 Well reported of 3140 5746 for 1722 good 2570 works 2041; if 1487 she have brought up 5044 5656 children, if 1487 she have lodged strangers 3580 5656, if 1487 she have washed 3538 5656 the saints' 40 feet 4228, if 1487 she have relieved 1884 5656 the afflicted 2346 5746, if 1487 she have diligently followed 1872 5656 every 3956 good 18 work 2041.

5:11 But 1161 the younger 3501 widows 5503 refuse 3868 5737: for 1063 when 3752 they have begun to wax wanton against 2691 5661 Christ 5547, they will 2309 5719 marry 1060 5721;

5:12 Having 2192 5723 damnation 2917, because 3754 they have cast off 114 5656 their first 4413 faith 4102.

5:13 And 1161 2532 withal 260 they learn 3129 5719 [to be] idle 692, wandering about 4022 5740 from house to house 3614; and 1161 not 3756 only 3440 idle 692, but 235 tattlers 5397 also 2532 and 2532 busybodies 4021, speaking 2980 5723 things which 3588 they ought 1163 5752 not 3361.

5:14 I will 1014 5736 therefore 3767 that the younger women 3501 marry 1060 5721, bear children 5041 5721, guide the house 3616 5721, give 1325 5721 none 3367 occasion 874 to the adversary 480 5740 to 5484 speak reproachfully 3059.(to speak…: Gr. for their railing)

5:15 For 1063 some 5100 are 1624 0 already 2235 turned aside 1624 5648 after 3694 Satan 4567.

5:16 If any 1536 man 4103 or 2228 woman that believeth 4103 have 2192 5719 widows 5503, let them relieve 1884 5720 them 846, and 2532 let 916 0 not 3361 the church 1577 be charged 916 5744; that 2443 it may relieve 1884 5661 them that are widows 5503 indeed 3689.

5:17 Let 515 0 the elders 4245 that rule 4291 5761 well 2573 be counted worthy 515 5744 of double 1362 honour 5092, especially 3122 they who labour 2872 5723 in 1722 the word 3056 and 2532 doctrine 1319.

5:18 For 1063 the scripture 1124 saith 3004 5719, Thou shalt 5392 0 not 3756 muzzle 5392 5692 the ox 1016 that treadeth out the corn 248 5723. And 2532, The labourer 2040 [is] worthy 514 of his 846 reward 3408.

5:19 Against 2596 an elder 4245 receive 3858 5737 not 3361 an accusation 2724, but 1508 1622 before 1909 two 1417 or 2228 three 5140 witnesses 3144.(before: or, under)

5:20 Them that sin 264 5723 rebuke 1651 5720 before 1799 all 3956, that 2443 others 3062 also 2532 may 2192 5725 fear 5401.

5:21 I charge 1263 5736 [thee] before 1799 God 2316, and 2532 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, and 2532 the elect 1588 angels 32, that 2443 thou observe 5442 5661 these things 5023 without 5565 preferring one before another 4299, doing 4160 5723 nothing 3367 by 2596 partiality 4346.(preferring…: or, prejudice)

5:22 Lay 2007 0 hands 5495 suddenly 5030 on 2007 5720 no man 3367, neither 3366 be partaker 2841 5720 of other 245 men's sins 266: keep 5083 5720 thyself 4572 pure 53.

5:23 Drink 5202 0 no longer 3371 water 5202 5720, but 235 use 5530 5737 a little 3641 wine 3631 for 1223 thy 4675 stomach's sake 4751 and 2532 thine 4675 often 4437 infirmities 769.

5:24 Some 5100 men's 444 sins 266 are 1526 5748 open beforehand 4271, going before 4254 5723 to 1519 judgment 2920; and 1161 2532 some 5100 [men] they follow after 1872 5719.

5:25 Likewise 5615 also 2532 the good 2570 works 2041 [of some] are 2076 5748 manifest beforehand 4271; and 2532 they that are 2192 5723 otherwise 247 cannot 3756 1410 5736 be hid 2928 5650.
