The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

5:1REBUKE not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

5:2The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

5:3Honour widows that are widows indeed.

5:4But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.

5:5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

5:6But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

5:7And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

Selected passage

5:8But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

5:9Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,

5:10Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

5:11But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

5:12Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

5:13And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.

5:14I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

5:15For some are already turned aside after Satan.

5:16If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
