| The Book of 1st Timothy 5 |
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) |
| 1st Timothy 5:1 | Don't rebuke an older man, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brothers; |
| 1st Timothy 5:2 | the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. |
| 1st Timothy 5:3 | Honor widows who are widows indeed. |
| 1st Timothy 5:4 | But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to repay their parents, for this is acceptable in the sight of God. |
| 1st Timothy 5:5 | Now she who is a widow indeed, and desolate, has her hope set on God, and continues in petitions and prayers night and day. |
| 1st Timothy 5:6 | But she who gives herself to pleasure is dead while she lives. |
| 1st Timothy 5:7 | Also command these things, that they may be without reproach. |
| 1st Timothy 5:8 | But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and specially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. |
| 1st Timothy 5:9 | Let none be enrolled as a widow under sixty years old, having been the wife of one man, |
| 1st Timothy 5:10 | well reported of for good works; if she has brought up children, if she has used hospitality to strangers, if she has washed the saints' feet, if she has relieved the afflicted, if she has diligently followed every good work. |
| 1st Timothy 5:11 | But refuse younger widows, for when they have grown wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; |
| 1st Timothy 5:12 | having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. |
| 1st Timothy 5:13 | Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. |
| 1st Timothy 5:14 | I desire therefore that the younger widows marry, bear children, rule the household, and give no occasion to the adversary for reviling. |
| 1st Timothy 5:15 | For already some have turned aside after Satan. |
| 1st Timothy 5:16 | If any man or woman who believes has widows, let them relieve them, and don't let the assembly be burdened; that it might relieve those who are widows indeed. |
| 1st Timothy 5:17 | Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. |
| 1st Timothy 5:18 | For the scripture says, "You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain." And, "The laborer is worthy of his wages." |
| 1st Timothy 5:19 | Don't receive an accusation against an elder, except at the word of two or three witnesses. |
| 1st Timothy 5:20 | Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. |
| 1st Timothy 5:21 | I charge you in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. |
| 1st Timothy 5:22 | Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be a participant in other men's sins. Keep yourself pure. |
| 1st Timothy 5:23 | Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities. |
| 1st Timothy 5:24 | Some men's sins are evident, going before to judgment, and some men also they follow after. |
| 1st Timothy 5:25 | In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden. |
