1 Timothy 5:1-6

Wycliffe WYC

1 Blame thou not an elder man, but beseech [him] as a father, young men as brethren;

2 old women as mothers, young women as sisters, in all chastity.

3 Honour thou widows [Honour the widows], that be very widows.

4 But if any widow hath children of sons [Forsooth if any widow hath sons, or cousins], learn she first to govern her house, and requite to father and mother; for this thing is accepted before God.

5 And she that is a widow verily, and desolate, hope [she] into God, and be busy in beseechings and prayers night and day.

6 For she that is living in delights, is dead [in soul].

New International Version NIV

1 Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,

2 older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.

3 Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.

4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God.

5 The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help.

6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.
