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). |
